Who has read them?

I bought the first book for my dad last Christmas, because he's a huge Tolkien/fantasy fan and he was hooked. I never read them but I did dip in and out of the tv series. My dad has been pestering me to read them for ages! I was wondering if anyone else liked these books or this style?

those who've read the book and watched the series suggests that those who haven't read the book yet but liked the series should definitely read the book.. quite redundant.. but yeah, you get the point! :D

i've only watched the series and loved it, they say i'm gonna love the book more. :)

The books are amazing!! I was really excited when the show came out and it didn't disappoint though I wasn't as in love with the show as my boyfriend was. Some of the characters/scenes seemed a bit awkward (I didn't like King Robert at all in the show).

I'm on the 3rd book, or well the second part of the 3rd book. :) The books are amazing though I get agitated when I think something life-changing is going to happen to important characters.

Liked the series, loved the books even more :D

I am in love with this series. I am not a huge fantasy fan, but these books really engaged me. I really recommend it. It really has a bit for everyone, from history references, to magic, to love.

I like to think I am a Martell.

I watched the TV show last year and I loved it, so I decided to read the books and right now I'm reading (and enjoying) the last one published, "A dance of dragons".

oh my god, LOVE.
i'm about a quarter way through the second book right now. i randomly heard of the HBO series and thank god the two-sentence description piqued my interest. i finished the entire first season in less than a week. definitely obsessed.

do both! the books are obviously broader and the series are brilliantly done, but i do suggest the books, that way u'll understand many tiny details that maybe passed unnoticed when you watched the show...
