Arrow A Dance with Dragons

So George R.R. Martin's latest book finally came out. I pre-ordered it and got it on day one... and then got stuck doing overtime at work all week.

Anyone started reading it yet? It is any good?

All I know is I LOVE Game of Thrones on HBO. My god, I was so surprised at how good it was. True Blood then this, HBO is really stepping it up these last few years. I was considering reading the books - but now I don't want to ruin the series : -/

I preordered from Amazon, maybe it will get here today(it has shipped) though I did use the free shipping option which takes longer. Can't wait! I dont have HBO but will be renting the dvds when they come out. And SW, READ THE BOOKS! YOU MUST!!!!

The books are a lot better and complex than the series. But the series is nice too and it has naked women.

Naked women and a ton of gore. My god some of the shit they show on there. It's more gorey than True Blood.

And I know, I know the books are always better. I am kicking myself now. I always saw "A song of Ice and Fire" in stores but passed it by. I wish now I had read them before because I really do not want to spoil the surprises and know what is coming. I may go back and read them after I see it on tv. Since you guys have read the books am I to understand the entire first season spans the length of the first book and only that? You know, ending with the princess and the dragons?

Since the entire series - even those that go beyond the first book - is gonna continue to be called "Game of Thrones", I am unsure where the first book ends on the HBO series.

Yeah the first season of the series is the first book. But it is heavily compressed so you only see maybe 20% of the book.
