A Game of Thrones

emgonz0 shared a tip "7/10, finally committing to reading the series. This one took me 3+ weeks to finish. There were some details I felt weren’t needed and slowed the story, but overall I enjoyed"

ken_2496 shared a tip "I have read all of the books and did so before the TV presentation. Keeping the families straight was work! Thoroughly enjoyed them all"

dinah_donovon shared a tip "Much ago about EVERYTHING but the kitchen sink yet none of it... except Tyrion and his mind interesting enough to watch or finish session two.... Ropes you in then you've lost hours and days of your life for an overrated bunch of meaningless toying. As a writer, I could tell this was just going to tie in people that will watch long after it is enjoyed just to see how it all ends."

dinah_donovon shared a tip "I dislike this whole overblown phenomenon that Im actually REWRITING MY BAD REVIEW. Much ago about nothing important. Other than Tyrion's wit & how he was played, I refused to give this a decade of my life!! 1st season was more than enough to get everyone involved. Even me. Promise is a good thing in a new show. Repeating the same 100 lines yet putting them in a different characters mouth (thus changing the leading power IE "game") fools the masses but a mid-earth soap opera? Unwanted."

nalini_ramgobind shared a tip "Love this show up until season 8. Not saying it wasn't good for what it was. Just disappointed that each story line ended in a rush due to the number of episodes given."

pamela_weinstein shared a tip "The books aren't great literature but what page turners. Its worth reading them because they are exciting & different from the series, which was awesome(no spoilers)"

katie_versace shared a tip "Better/different than the TV series. A lot less gratuitous sex. Fantastic world building and writing. I've only read the first, but will definitely continue and can't wait to see how the author plans to end it Vs how the TV series editors did"

lorien_hammond shared a tip "Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss, although he has been making us wait for years for the third book! All the Robin Hibb books, starting with Assassin's Apprentice"

diana_gonzalez-hicks shared a tip "I’m actually listening to a vampire book right now. It’s an Audible original. It’s called Impact Winter by Travis Beacham. Really good."

vickie_sonderman shared a tip "Hello Sarah. I am currently reading, The Final Girl Support Group. It’s actually pretty good so far. And I just finished, The Lost Apothecary which I loved. How about you? What are you reading right now?"

kogul_arumaithurai shared a tip "Loved the series GOT so went back and read all the available books. I should say so far the series was more organized and better than the book. Hopefully the ending is better in the books to come."

mary_ready shared a tip "I did! Watching the show really helped me remember all of the characters when reading the books (there are alot of uncommon names from unfamiliar places). Books will not disappoint!"

zakem_mekaz shared a tip "I really liked how the books cover the Stark children’s connections with their dire wolves. For example, when Rob uses it to gain an advantage during the war. Would’ve been awesome to see this on the show."

fabrizio_diaz_contin shared a tip "The first three books of Song of Ice and Fire are truly amazing, but after the red wedding it becomes a boring story without a true focus."

monica_clubb shared a tip "I wish I could narrow down one specific book as my absolute favorite! However, here are some recent reads that I've enjoyed! * The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo * A Court of Thorns and Roses * Verity"

bobo_7221 shared a tip "I can't choose. Too many awesome characters that had their awesome moment. That goes for the tv show as well. I am a sucker for Theon Greyjoy's redemption in the later seasons on tv. Although I doubt it was written that way in the book."

katherine_cook shared a tip "I couldn’t just sit down and read this book, it was a daunting task. But what I did do and loved it just as much as the tv show, was listen to it on tape. Made my daily commute so much more enjoyable."

sarah_bryant_1451 shared a tip ""Winter is coming." A fantastic novel with familiar historical elements and a certain realism that is welcomed in contemporary fantasy."

becca_vogelpohl shared a tip "If you enjoy political intrigue, read this series! If you enjoyed the show and you have an attention span read this series! There is far more going on in the books then they could fit in the show! If you enjoyed the show and have no patience DO NOT READ! Martin has health issues and he does not put books out on schedual. The last book is still not out and we been waiting for 8 years, the one before that we waited 5 years! Dance of dragons was split in two because the publisher said it was too long... the second part was to be released a few months later after some tweaks... that’s the one we been waiting on for 8 years and now that’s been split into 2. In short only start READING this series if you want more story content and have patience with releases and aren’t going to go ‘misery’ on Poor martin, cause there’s a line..."

tim_2063 shared a tip "Yes. Actually read this after season 6. It really helped color in some of the details, and added more depth. Haven't tackled the following books yet. I'm a little afraid I'll read them and be stuck waiting for the last one to come out, like everyone else. :)"

flynt_smathers shared a tip "The books and the series have congealed in my mind. I honestly think I liked the last one the best. I don’t believe he’ll ever finish them now. It was my favorite read ever."

spookery shared a tip "@robinjohnson301 Hello fellow Robin! :) My favorite of that series is probably the first book. I’m currently trying out more fantasy with Redwall!"

marc_2492 shared a tip "You mean in this series or in general? I was a very big fan of Terry Goodkind Sword of Truth series, starting with The Wizards First Rule."

mashedmediums shared a tip "It is a very personal preference, but if you are into very descriptive fantasy it is definitely worth at least checking out. Each chapter is centered aroynd and written in the POV of a single character."

sarah_lorenzo_115 shared a tip "This series is amazing. Very detailed. Awesome character story lines. The world building is one of the best I have come across so far for adult fantasy."

georgia_brown_9061 shared a tip "Favorite book from the series would probably be Dance with Dragons because of exciting developments in the series. But it with be replaced with Winds of Winter should it ever come out!"

rebecca_rockenback shared a tip "I think I'm going to start American Gods. I watched the series and was so frustrated at how it ended. I can't believe the book ends like that. I hope not. So much left that didn't have an ending too."

m_hendrix shared a tip "I would say yes! The multiple characters and plots might be a challenge to keep track of, but that is also what makes the book so good. There is a lot of action, and even with the longer book length it was a page turner for me.There are lots of details in the book to make it interesting apart from the season one show."

sarah_awesomesauce shared a tip "Clash of Kings, but honestly I revisit the histories (AWOIAF and Fire and Blood) more than any of them :) The world building and history is so dynamic and interesting."

michele_clegg shared a tip "I'm currently making my way through Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere books (Stormlight Archives, Mistborn, and other fillers). They're great too. What about you?"

rico_jones-fernandez shared a tip "I can't think of a part that wasn't in the show I remember loving how close it stayed to the book in that season but I pictured everyone so different. I remember I didn't believe that ned really died n thought he come back. I didn't learn Got style yet lol"

emily_strange_5997 shared a tip "Very good series, but many many characters to keep track of. Not a good one if you can't dedicate a lot of time to it (ex, stopping/starting again after a week)"

zachary_6824 shared a tip "It took me 4 months to finish this book but so far, I do like this book. It's a good introduction to the song of ice and fire, but I do have some problems with it. First is I don't like that every time you finish a chapter, it makes you feel exhausted. It gets very tiring when you finish a chapter and feel like not finishing reading. A book is supposed to want you to read more of it. But I still read it. I do have more problems but I'm not gonna go into them. I give this book a 3.5/5 #iceandfire"

nicole_myles_7071 shared a tip "I'm not currently reading any new series but if I have to recall one of my favorites I'd have to say I love reading Daughters of the Moon by Lynne Ewing. I stumbled onto the 5th book first that I found at my local library and it had me hooked.. I had to find and read the others and I really enjoyed them all."

elisa_muoz-beck shared a tip "A Storm of Swords, mainly because I've never gotten so close to throwing a book at a wall because of how much emotion I got. Two words: Red Wedding lol"

noelle_3221 shared a tip "No, sorry I don't have a favorite part of the book. But the book itself and how it shows how the stark family deals with conspiracy and court politics in the seven kindoms of westros really intrigued me. It's really a good book and I really respect Mr. Martin for his work."

tiffany_cross_2211 shared a tip "I’ve actually been reading a log of manga recently, but I really enjoyed the Outlander series. Same sort of historical feel and only slightly less dark."

lyndi_farmer shared a tip "Just got done with Verity by Colleen Hoover and it’s amazing! Just stated reading the night Circus by Erin Morgenstern and I’m enjoying that so far"

bruno_eduardo_busch shared a tip "I’ve just finished reading the 4th installment of the Stormlight Archives, Rhythm of War. Is more Fantasy then GOT, but it’s good."

jackie_magana_6476 shared a tip "It’s just super interesting to see what they couldn’t do in the show versus the book. Like, internal thoughts of people and stuff"

ana_sanchez_2098 shared a tip "Oooh there’s so many books and so many different genres too choose from 🤔. I guess if I absolutely had to choose it would be Pride and Prejudice 🤷🏻‍♀️. I mean, come on, it’s Mr. Darcy 🥰 lol"

nieshaingram shared a tip "I’ve never read the book before but I’m currently watching the series, but I would love to read the books. Have you seen the series as well? If so, is it similar to the book?"

tana_konecny shared a tip "Sorry I'm still figuring out how this app works and I just saw this notification! If you don't mind long novels that focus more on the political intrigue than the fantasy elements. Personally, I love that the characters are all very nuanced, and I enjoy Martin's writing style."
