The books are really different then the show. Just to name the major differences:

- when Hanna gets hit by the car in the show, she claims that Noel Kahn is A. In the books, she can't remember, but eventually she remembers that A was Mona.

- The A in the books isn't as skilled as the A in the show. The A in the books wouldn't be able to do half of the things that the A in the show does.

- Just like in the show, there are multiple A's in the books. But these A's are independant from each other. There is no A-Team. There isn't a Big "A" either.

- Mona dies in the books when she is revealed to be "A".

- Toby isn't A in the books either

But mostly, the story line itself is completly different. You wouldn't see Garrett, N.A.T, Maya dying, the liars finding A's phone, Caleb, "That Night", etc. in the books. Likewise, in the show, there is no Tabitha, Graham, Naomi and Riley, Iris, etc. Also, the personality's of the book characters are very different then the ones of the shows. In the books, people like Hanna are very bitchy and popularity-obsessed while the characters in the show are much more nicer and developped. Jenna, for example, is good in the books while she is much more complex in the show. You would also notice that the liars in the books do a lot of bad things unlike the liars in the show.

Final note, the liars in the show look competly different then the liars in the books:

Book Hanna: Dark hair

Book Spencer: Blond

Book Aria: Tall and nordic

Book Emily: White and strawberry blond

Book Mona: White and bond
