Game of Thrones

by George. R. R. Martin

*** [3/5]

I read this book because I had heard so much about this series. I admit I was pleasantly surprised by the pace and complexity of the characters. The books follow the members of one family during a change in power in a fictional fantasy kingdom much like medieval Britain, plus magic. I liked the story and the complexity of the plot line.

When I watched one episode of the HBO show I was shocked by how smutty the video version was compared to the relatively light treatment in the books. I stopped watching the show and the books are still fun.
