    I bet he was not prepared for 2,000 fans to show up in Slovenia with 5 books each! Carpal Tunnel anyone? Ouch!

    I have yet to read the books, but I loved the show.  I think I'll order a copy of the first one from Amazon.  I'm hesitant to dive into the series because I've heard the last two books are very mediocre.

    Most people agree the first 3 books are superior, but I honestly loved the fifth book. 

    The ongoing story has been great even throughout books 4 and 5. The pacing or book arc may have been a little off, but the last 2 books certainly had some brilliant moments and contribute well to the saga.

    Enjoy Book One if you order.

    If you like a good book, you should buy GoT as soon as possible. It is amazing!!

    I only started reading the books after seeing the first 5 - 6 episodes of the series. I just finished reading book 4. Sure, it´s not quite as good as the other 3 books, but I didn´t really have a problem with it. Maybe it is because I have book 5 already and didn´t have to wait 5 years to know what happend to the other PoV´s. I can understand that people were upset about that. I liked book 4 and look forward to book 5. 

    I have no idea what I´m gonna be doing every evening when I´m done reading aDwD. I really hope I don´t have to wait 5 years for book 6. I´m already upset that Jaime, Brienne and Arya is not in aDwD.

    You will get a little of all 3 characters in ADwD in 2 different POVs. SO that's something to look forward to... maybe.

    Oh no, when you say it like that I can almost guess what happend. Damn.

    Well, I´m happy to find out what is going on with all three in this book instead of having to wait 3 - 5 years. 

    I can see in the other post that you read True Blood as well as GoT. Do you have a surgestion for another good book once I´m done with aDwD?
