I am doing the same thing with my sister! I bought the books, which I will share with her. So I have this slight feeling of 'superiority' because I know what's going to happen!
I am on Page 675 of Book Two, and there are 969 pages, so I am about 2/3rds of the way through. Tyrion has kept me in stitches. I also have been finding Arya's story very compelling. I am shattered about Renly. For me, Book Renly is such a sympathetic and wonderful character. He would have been a great king, IMO. And I LOVE Brienne and love the fact she is with Catelyn. And I find Theon amusing...I hope the scene with his sister will be in the TV series.
There is so much that is wonderful. While I enjoyed much of Episode 7 on TV last night, there were parts I was disappointed with as well. But I thought the Jon Snow segments were terrific, as were all the parts with Ned. :)
