Is GoT any good really?
I'm working through the books and they are achingly sluggish at times, and some of the twists a bit far fetched.

Some of it is really hammy. It strikes me as a wank-fantasy written by LARPing B3tans.
But some of the sub-plots are alright, and some of the characters are good.

And ... naked chicks all over the shop.

Having read all the books I can conclude two things
a)I'm now thoroughly convinced he got in over his head, wrote too many characters and too many divergent plotlines and now won't be able to bring them all to a satisfactory conclusion

and b) I'm not convinced it was a wise use of my time.

Yeah, Ladypig has read them and reckons it got away from him and he panicked.

I swear down it's a Robert Jordan situation.
He'll ramble on and on and die before getting anywhere.

I'm sure the TV series will catch up with the books sooner or later
and then there'll be huge pressure for him to let Hollywood scriptwriters finish the story for him. I bet they've already got a few ideas planned out.

The TV series is brilliant
I've only read the 1st book though

The book adds to the telly show and visa-versa, I really love them, and I hate fantasy stuff.
But the telly show is much easier than the books, which are quite hard work (but worth it I reckon)... I can't stand Bran and Catlin's chapters in teh book, but put up with them for Tyrion.

I'm half way through the hungry games trillogy and then i'm gonna do book 4; all other books suddenly are well easy now in comparison.

Only thing I don't like the books is the ages.... I just can't picture 10-14 year olds doing all that rape'n'shit.

The issue I have with teh books is I can never remember the characters names very well
so I find it really hard to keep up with the descrptions of what is happeneing to other characters when it's not their chapter.
