A Game of Thrones

Thanks! I'll probably go ahead and start picking them up soon then. I'm usually a big proponent of reading the books first, but so many times the shows or movies never come close to living up to my expectations. I just don't want the show to be one of those that starts making me pissed because they've twisted something around. Skirting it, or just not going into detail I can handle, but out and out making something completely -not- what happened in the books irritates me no end LoL

I can only think of one thing that was outright changed, and it was a minor point that allowed them to bypass a lot of stuff - and not a bad change

Hubby told me I'm not allowed to read the books until after the series. Something about not wanting to hear me rant during the show while he's trying to enjoy it *snickers*

Ive read them.. I haven't watched the series but I cannot see how they could possibly fit everything in.
