I was contemplating over how to rate this show. At the beginning, to be honest, I wasn't a big fan due to the huge change and the deviation from the book. However, after watching the finale, I had to think it over. In my opinion, the finale is somehow better than the book in several ways:
1- Elena found out that Lexie was the one who had an abortion. Unfortunately, didn't happen in the book. Nevertheless , I love the open-ending of the book, it serves its purpose and theme.
2- Izzie wasn't the only one who caused the fire, she's just the one who spill the gas and gave him the idea and the purpose. Collectively, the kids burn the house from the ground. This didn't happen in the book either, since Izzie was the sole doer.
3- The kids, excluding Izzie, actually cares about Pearl and Mia and lashed at their mom for kicking them out.
I love the book with all my heart, and the ending was so much satisfying, but in all faireness, the series finale is surprisingly better as it unveil some vagueness the book left with what happened to the rest of the characters.
Still, with all the drastic changes, one thing that never changed is that Izzie is the best thing happened to the book and the mini-series.
