This is one of those rare incidences where the adaptation is better than the books! I've read the books and prefer the series. It's grim, grimy and everyone, except a few, are truly nasty!! Brilliantly done and fantastic acting. As yet I don't know how the story wraps up but Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) had better survive!!
However, there is a big HMMMMMM coming on!!
At the moment I'm reading the fabulous Helliconia Trilogy (Spring, Summer, Winter) by Brian Aldiss. This majestic tale encompasses (amongst other things) extreme climate change and in the final volume published in 1985 there is the repeated phrase 'Winter is Coming'.
1985? You do the math!

I only needed to watch the trailer to know this film is not worth watching. The book is amazing. Read that instead.
The series Game of Thrones is a very entertaining précis of the enormously thick books! The production values are very high and it all has a gritty and real feel to it. Extremely well done and I hope they are able to adapt the whole saga. Trouble is, whenever something good comes along it always seems to be the first thing to be cancelled!
However, after reading the books I thought - I've read this story before - often word for word. I am not sure if I am remembering correctly but Robin Hobbs 'Assassin' series springs to mind. Anyway, whichever series it was all I recall of that other story is that it was tedious and repetitious - at least George Martin made it more interesting!!
