I am a DA fanatic and although I have watched the series many, many times, the book gives you dialogue that's not in the finished product along with backstories, scene detail, how work and personal lives were viewed, and the author's own personal musings. It is truly amazing for anyone who is obsessed with Downton Abbey as I am. The only problem, if you see it as such, is that having almost memorized every scene, every character, I “hear” their voices as I read.
