It's not like it's a literary achievement in any way, shape or form. As such, I highly support people who just watch the TV show which, honestly, seems superior to the books.

I for one am never buying another book by Martin as long as the TV show covers the action for that book. Given his glacial pace of writing, the TV show should be wrapping up the last season by the time he gets around to the penultimate (maybe) book.

Save your precious reading time for something worth reading from a stylistic and aesthetic point of view (Hanna Montana, for example).

I think the TV series handles the problematic Dany/Drogo relationship better - 17/08/2012 12:20:16 AM 2257 Views
I think it messed it up by showing forced intercourse without the verbal consent Drogo DID obtain - 17/08/2012 12:07:14 PM 2210 Views
I still find it difficult to read it as anything other than a coerced consent - 17/08/2012 01:08:15 PM 2068 Views
