One thing I love in the book is that we don't see the gory details with Ramsay, we just see the aftermath. We don't see Theon's slow torture, we don't see him abuse Jayne Poole, but we very much see the impact of those things. He's dark and creepy without it being shoved in our face in the same way.
Roose is a good balance to Ramsay. There's a clear conflict between how they want to do things, but Roose is still far more intimidating due to his power. Ramsay with power is a fire waiting to burn itself out.
Also I thought the letter was better in the book >:c
