“Interesting Read”

★★★★☆

written by rickyedward26 on 20/03/2012

George RR Martin - A Game of Thrones is an interesting read. It is likely to hold your attention. The book is scripted quite well in my opinion. It is a delightful break from the show series on TV.

“Great show but even better book”

★★★★★

written by HenryPercy on 21/06/2011

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 point one immediately notices about this series is...”

★★★★★

written by anovelistandpoet on 06/11/2008

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.

“Do you want a book that is well written, that makes...”

★★★★★

written by kasio on 08/09/2005

Do you want a book that is well written, that makes the like of David Gemmell books seem childish, Lord of the Rings out dated, then read George R Martin, A Game of Thrones, a book well written well scripted, a book with different characters some bad some good some in between, a book that isn't afraid to kill it main character for the sake of developing the story. This is the BOOK to read.
