I've been burning through Game of Thrones for the past couple of weeks. Before I watched it I thought it was just going to be a jumped-up LotR clone with lots of cheap character deaths; I'm happy to say I was wrong. GRRM is remarkably good at writing characters with complex personalities and relationships.
... And good at writing unpleasant ends for those characters.

I can't recommend reading the books. Mostly because it's obvious that Martin is a creepy old man, beating his half flaccid, unused cock to his fantasies of giant dicked barbarians fucking twelve year olds.
