About a third of the way through Book 3 of Game of Thrones, I borrowed Book 3 and 4 to take on holiday with me Friday week but I reckon I'll have them both finished by then, need to get 5 and 6 I think!

Are they really good Niamh? I've got the 2nd and 3rd but ill need to buy the first... my mum said its a lot of ****e though? :conf:

Well, I love them anyway. I really didn't think they'd be my sort of thing but I was really surprised at how much I've enjoyed them so far

Hmm.. I might give them a go then. :)

I'd recommend them anyway, have you watched any of the series yet?

Yeah, I watched about half of the first series but somehow lost track of it!

It's alot easier to follow the story if you read the book first, there's so many characters in it, it's hard to keep track of them and who they are and what their relationship to other characters is etc

The books fill in a lot of background information, but the first season of the show did follow it pretty well. Quite a bit was changed in Season 2.

Oh really, I haven't started series 2 yet, is that annoying after reading the book or not?

It was still good but they made a lot of changes to Daenerys/Jon/Robb/Jaime's stories.

Oh, I think that's really going to annoy me, actually it''ll probably annoy Gav more cos I'm going to keep pointing out the bits that were different in the book

Just started Book 5 of Game of Thrones.

Also read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo on holiday, was very good.

It's an amazing book Niamh isnt it? :)
The 2nd and 3rd are just as good!

Yeah, it was brilliant, I have the other 2 books as well but I want to finish Game of Thrones first

Are you on Feast for Crows or Dance With Dragons?

Dance with Dragons

The second best after Storm of Swords

Good, A Feast for Crows was very hard to get into I found because :

Yeah AFFC is definitely the worst, but towards the end I started getting into it.

I was glad that

The Hobbit, in prep for LOTR

I'm reading The Perks Of Being A Wallflower, so I can say I read the book before I watched the film.

It's really good so far, I can relate to Patrick a lot. :laugh:

Just started reading A Game Of Thrones :love:
