A Game of Thrones: Genesis

[rajpoot]

I have not seen the TV series yet either, although it does look decent.

You're missing out on something good! Sean Bean was born to play roles in medieval fantasy.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

And in stories where he dies!

Plus the show is quite faithful to the book. Also the casting has been done very well.

A pity I can't stand the books, or I'd probably pick this up.

Hey :) Been a while since I saw you post! How're you.
I'm just on the third book right now, and like frog says, the first one certainly was a lot better than the second and third. But the books are big! Make sure you have time before you pick up a set lest you start lagging behind in work.
