there are about a billion reviews of this one so i doubt i have anything to add. the only thing i feel truly compelled to say is TYRION THE DWARF IS AWESOME! my God, i haven't read a character who is so different and so enjoyable in years. many-layered and consistently surprising, hero & antihero, generous & spiteful in equal amounts, as capable of high-handed miscalculation as he is of clever deduction, brave & loyal & vindictive... just overall a superb creation. Tyrion, you are the tops! and

What an amazing EPIC novel. I can't wait until the next book A Clash of Kings If it is even nearly as good as A Game of Thrones it would still be a five star book. I am glad I finally got around to it!

=======================================
I recently watched the 1st disc of "Game of Thrones" via Netflix.
There were too many characters for me to keep track of. In the bonus feature they tried to explain all that, but it was still confusing.

Well, I was pleasantly surprised by this book considering I read it in high school and really didn't like it. I guess I'm more willing to overlook somewhat disturbing plot events now that I'm a bit older.
I was also surprised that I liked so many of the characters, even those who were occasionally working at cross purposes.

Finally finished this weekend!
It took me awhile to really pick this up and read it. Once I got started, I couldn't stop. What an amazing world Martin has created. It reminded me some of the Tudor novels I've read, combined with Lord of The Rings and a bit of a murder mystery thrown in. Needless to say, I loved it on many levels and can't wait to read the rest of the series!

Little over halfway through and very addicted.
Abandoned. I enjoyed what I read; it was well-written, but much like Robin Hobb's work, I'm no longer interested in being punished for liking a character.
