Great Show But Even Better Book
Like most people I found Game of Thrones through the HBO show on Sky and like most films or series, the book is so much better. That is not taking away anything from the show as I really do think it is a great series, but the book is gripping and adds so much more depth to the characters.
I would recommend anyone who likes the show and who enjoys reading to purchase the book.
The writer has taken many hrstoiic elemnets and has put it on the Dothraki.They remind many nomadic people.The Great Khal reminds me of the great Han.Moreover it shows that the ruler of the dothraki has not ained this position becuse of or not at least only because of his bloodline.He is the strongest among the Dothraki.This was true for the Huns and Attila for example.
My favorite scene in this eodpsie was Syrio's fighting scene. I think they wanted to show how talented he truly was with any type of sword which is why he didn't pick up a real sword. Also they wanted to make it dramatic, i like how they pulled some heart strings when they cut the scene off without telling his fate yet leaving a possibility of hope. Even though he hardly had any scenes Syrio was one of my fav characters and so far in my opinion the strongest and one of my fav scenes was with him and Arya at their first dancing lesson. And i was very disappointed with the scene when the guy comes back to life that should have been way more exciting. They should have made the guy look way more scarier than he was and where were those deadly ice cold sharp blue eyes!!?? Also the man should have been more fierce in fighting Jon just the entire scene it was just not as i had imagined it should be the book had it better, this was one of the scenes i was looking forward to seeing .The rest of the scenes in the show were great besides the Hordor part that was very much not needed at all. I did like how it ended because it had this lingering feeling to it and it made you feel for Sansa for me anyway even more. Next week eodpsie though and the finale will, should, and i hope be the most exciting eodpsies of the entire season. At least for me in the book it was so i hope they don't disappoint.

The Point One Immediately Notices About This Serie
The point one immediately notices about this series is how very differently it is written. Very few authors and books can draw a person into the story and cut out the silly fluff of absolute characters or absolute power or on and on. Books like this one, the Harry Potter Series and Wish List by Eoin Colfer accomplish this; series like the Inheritance cycle, and the Golden Compass, while impressive for the imagination and volume, are repetitive in comparison. The main difference is that while all fantasy novels most make use of magic and, to some extent, dragons, the main theme does not revolve around a static character in a predictable and pointless roundabout fashion. Not to say those novels are bad, i have read them and like them a lot. However, they are not on the same level as the sheer romance, mystery, fantasy and intrigue that surrounds the writing styles of those previously mention. (All praise to the founder J.R.R. Tolkein). It is difficult to pull a bad point from a book such as this but if i must knit pick then i suppose that it must be the limited use of the prologue. That's really stretching though.
