• I personally LOVED all of the books and never had to drag through any of them. Season 1 was great, and very close to the books, Season 2, not so much. I still really enjoyed it but found it did stray more from the books. I do get that it would be very hard to put so much detail in the tv series that is in the books. I have all of them on audio now and have been listening to them over and over. (NT) -- Cherie, 09:37:30 07/09/12 Mon

• I have really enjoyed them all too. I'm on #4 now (A Feast for Crows) which I've heard mixed reviews about, but I like it so far. I thought book 3 had some big shockers in it. Things do move along, but they are long, I agree. I would encourage you to keep going. The TV series follows pretty closely, but I was able to understand it better than DH because I'd read several books & he was reading the first one as we watched the DVDs. Waiting eagerly for Season 2 to come to Netflix. (NT) -- MaryJ, 17:34:32 07/09/12 Mon

• I'm not the norm..... I couldn't get into the books ( I tried 3 or 4 times) or the mini-series. Once one character was gone the series was pretty much over for me, I didn't care much for the other. (NT) -- M&M, 06:09:59 07/10/12 Tue
  • M&M, you and I normally enjoy the exact same books so I feel a bit better that you felt the same. I'm a bit bummed about the series, as I'm #98 on hold now (down from almost 300) and have been waiting a couple months for it at the library. What books have you been reading lately? I just picked up Overseas and so far am enjoying it. Isn't your youngest getting ready for college this fall? (NT) -- conmama, 07:28:03 07/10/12 Tue
    • Prison Lady...... Sandra Guallard (sp?) Josephine B series I really liked. The Falco series by Lindsey Davis, Im just about to start the sequel to Discovery of Witches. (NT) -- M&M, 13:08:46 07/17/12 Tue

• I've read the whole series, but to tell you the truth everytime I got emotionally involved with a character...they were killed. I found it frustrating. (NT) -- CarolSR, 07:14:01 07/10/12 Tue

• Game of Thrones -- The foreign woman, 14:16:58 07/11/12 Wed
  • Thanks! That is what I have been suspecting. After 70% thru 2nd book now, and nothing is being concluded...just got me thinking that I'll throw the darn book against the wall if I come to the end with no answers to anything! (NT) -- conmama, 09:40:43 07/12/12 Thu

• I just finished the 5th book. It just goes on with more killing and misery and nothing resolved yet. More characters introduced as well. Some parts keep my interest while others drag on and on. I will probably read the others as they come out but this is not one of my favorite series. (NT) -- BH, 19:04:16 07/14/12 Sat

• I finally gave up after the 4th book. It left me soooo frustrated. 1000 pages and no mention of Brom at all. I still think about the Starck kids and wish I knew how their story ended but couldn't put up with any more of the hard core violence, gore and skank- so much of it seemed completely gratuitous. And yes, I got really tired of caring about someone only to have them die horribly. (NT) -- susiej, 13:02:13 07/16/12 Mon
