Book one in A Song of Ice and Fire.
Reading Game of Thrones is like watching a blockbuster action movie. Every now and then there will be a flash of emotional connection between characters, but mostly it's just a long fight scene.
"When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die." Pretty much sums up the storyline.

Great book! It Helped to fill in some holes the tv show had. I was able to keep track of the characters more.
I enjoyed this book. It was very long and complex, quite well-written. The odd thing is I cannot decide if I want to continue to read the series. I care enough about the characters to want to know what happens to them (do Arya and Nemeria ever reunite? Does Jon end up ruling the 7 Kingdoms?) but these books require a major time commitment. Only time will tell.
While a little trite it's easy to lap up the intrigues and characters set forth in this series. I won't call it high literature but it's wonderfully entertaining and makes my dreams pretty cool if I read before falling asleep

I never thought I'd get into fantasy books, but I've fallen into the the spell of the Game of Thrones juggernaut. Great writing, great plots and a great escape. If you've seen the HBO series, I highly recommend the books.

An amazing fantasy that kept me on the edge of my seat. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series, and I defintely need to check out the television show.
