Yeah, I don't you'd like the rest of the series then. I was completely hooked, but I listened to the audio books first and ended up not liking the show as much as the books. I think it's more about what you experienced first. My big issue with the show is, they changed a bunch of characters, took some characters and combined them into one. A good example is Bobby wasn't amazonian in stature, and I missed some of the technical details like needing crash couches in order to account for changing directions.
