I thought it was well done. A bit different from the movie, but I liked that it was in series form to make it easier to digest. One thing I missed that was in both the book and the movie was that they never talked about Orr putting crabapples in his cheeks. I know it's minor, but I thought it was an interesting character development tool to make Orr look a little nuts. The Orr in the series wasn't portrayed as much as being a nutty thrill seeker, which I thought would be nice.
