GAME OF THRONES

GAME OF THRONES


I finally got the books I ordered and started reading Game of Thrones. I started last weekend and thanks to it being a 3-day holiday, I read the whole first book in the series. So now I am ahead of the TV show. In fact, I'm a third of the way through the second book, and hooked completely.

I'll add my two cents to the pot...it is a wonderful series, full of the most compelling characters I've enjoyed in ages. Of all the great characters, good and bad, I think Arya is my favourite. I identify with her the most of any of them. I love Ned, Tyrion, Robb and Catelyn too. Daenerys is another fascinating character, but she is, of necessity, remote. It's hard to identify with her, but I like her a lot despite that.

I don't want to put down any spoilers since I know what will be coming in the TV show. But I can say that despite the fact we have seen some exciting stuff in the TV series, we haven't seen anything yet by comparison. :)

I don't like the gay Renly from the series!

There are many surprises in the books!!!
