Pretty Little Liars: Book or TV Series?

I am an avid fan of Sara Shepard's PLL series. I recently read the eleventh book and am waiting somewhat impatiently for the twelfth. While I do think she has drawn this on and on, I still need to know who A is.

I also recently watched the 2012 summer wrap up episode called "Lady Killer". There is one word for this, and that is INTENSE. I don't make a habit of watching the ABC series, but since I read the books, I have a pretty clear understanding of what's going on. Of course, there are different people in the series than in the books so it's somewhat different. I might be biased, because I do not actively follow the TV show, and chose to read the books instead.

My question to all you PLL lovers: which is better, the books or the series?

TV Show

Books

You tell me. I would love to hear other opinions.
