I loved the miniseries because it was one of the few King movies that really stuck with what the book was about -- a few liberties were taken, but not many.
There are two different versions, I've only read the uncut version which is several hundred pages longer but it's got a lot more character development.
If you enjoyed the miniseries, you'll enjoy the book, probably even like the book moreso
(the version of the book I have, has some notes from King at the back, where he talks about what he would think of the book being a movie... and he talks about casting - i read that after I read the book, and I completely envisioned who he had in mind when I was reading the book.)
