- Latest Review: The Follower by L. Hillis
The next tv season starts in April so I'm about to start the corresponding book. There are nuances in the books that I would have missed with tv alone, so I do intend to read the full book before the tv season starts.
EDIT: I forgot to mention, I rather liked the series initially (before getting too far in) just because my daughter shares a name with the youngest Winterfell daughter. They have similar personalities, I'm writing this from our equivalent of "dancing lessons" - karate.

One of my gripes is that they called it Game of Thrones and not A Song of Ice and Fire. I love the quote and all, but I just think the real title of the series is much more appealing and lyrical.

Absolutely, if you enjoyed the movie, it's always good to find out what the writer originally planned for the characters. You can do more in your own mind to expand on the characters and actions than they can do with CGI. However, the word is still the most powerful tool/weapon/power in the world.kavayee wrote:Do you recommend to read books even if I've already watched TV series?

How interesting. I haven't read the books, so I can't disagree with you. But I do think he seems like a pretty evil person on the show.ConnectiveStardust wrote:I loved Littlefinger in the books and I feel that they have butchered his character in the show. The constant placement of him with whores and prostitutes is there simply to get the nudity on t.v while ignoring the damage it does to his character.
What do you like about him in the books?
