We call them book throwers (as in I want to throw this book across the room cause it is making me mad!)Since I read on a kindle, that would be financially stupid of me so I just rant and rave .Sharon Stognerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12732141088637958862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804134394852065702.post-12826032716612195892011-06-01T08:19:23.541-07:002011-06-01T08:19:23.541-07:00I've read the entire series over and over.

There are particular aspects (mostly minor details) that I missed when I watched the show that made more sense when someone who has read the book explained them.<br /><br />While I do plan on reading the series as well I thoroughly enjoy watching it on HBO. The smut can be a little distracting and at times totally unnecessary, but there are other scenes that I think I probably enjoy seeing rather than just reading about. Plus, in addition to the great writing it has to work from, visually the show is stunning and the acting is solid. <br /><br />Anywho, I'm even more excited now to read Game of Thrones (and obviously the rest of the series) since you gave it such high praise.Melnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804134394852065702.post-48780562864318964562011-06-01T00:20:29.341-07:002011-06-01T00:20:29.341-07:00I recently got this series in a bundle pack for my...I recently got this series in a bundle pack for my Kindle and am working my way through. I am enjoying it very much. I am an eclectic reader and like to switch off at times depending on my mood. I enjoyed reading what you had to say - it made me smile.Denise Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17743337429214149474noreply@blogger.com
