The characters of Sam, Sam's family, Tara, Lafayette, Jason, Jessica, Hoyt, etc are drastically different because of this.

I agree with the fact they had to add some story lines about people from the town. Some of the story lines have been good, I am really happy they kept Lafayette, he is one of my favorite characters.
There have been some changes to the storyline that I am not a huge fan of though.
1) Hotshot isn't a meth haven in the books. It is just a small inbred town for reasons that will probably be explained in the show shortly. Also, Calvin (the guy that Sam beat up) isn't an ugly deadbeat in the books, he is a handsome leader.
2) The queen is much more powerful in the books, at least when she is first introduced. She has an army of minions to do her bidding. I was also surprised they made her younger than Eric, in the books they never mention her age but she has a child who is about Erics age I believe.
3) I HATE how they have introduced Claudine and I hope there aren't any more cheesy scenes with that pond in the forest.
Book 4 is one of my favorites of the series and I really hope they include most of it in Season 4.
