    I recently read the first book in the series of a song of Fire and Ice and actually found that (having watched the show before hand) the book was really good and am now reading the second book in the series.

    I mean the book is a real catch phrase for fantasy novels and stuff like that with very few floors in it (especially in the Ayrie :p).

    Whats your opinion on A games of thrones?

    Well added I feel.

    But i think i prefer tyrion lannister's, "Let me give you some counsel Bastard. Never forget who you are, for surely the world won’t. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armor yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you."

    Now that maybe wrong cause i copied and pasted off the net. :D

    The shows actually really close to the book. I mean you can watch the show then pick up the book and you can actually see whole areas of text just lifted up from the book and put into the show.

    KInda helps to have the author as a producer though who reads every script before recording :D

    I love how in the show there are scenes that they take every line from the book.

    watch it on Novamov.com.

    Free. It's pretty good, just look up episode 1, and boom.

    There's so much sex in the book. It's like every 5 minutes someone fucks someone else.

    I have it in audio book, just got it yesterday, but if there's so much sex perhaps I'll listen to it some other time.

    No, the sex scenes don't go on for very long.
