Once I finish the Sword of Truth series, I'm thinking about starting A Game of Thrones. Has anyone read that, and what did you think of it?

Its a great series but its only 4 books in with book 5 expected out this year. Of course, IIRC book 5 has been expected off and on for around 3 years so who knows if it's actually coming or not till its published and on shelves.

Others have said (and I'm inclined to agree) that they will probably not be picking up this series till its complete.

No have it dvr ed lol

Same here. Kind of debating on if I want to watch it or read the books first. I am usually disappointed by adaptations of books, they never seem to be as good as I envision them when I am reading.

[Mac_Leod]

Just started A Game of Thrones. I got interested in it after I heard so many good things about it from IGN leading up to the series. Plus, anything Sean Bean is involved with must be good.

 

[blkbeltkid17]

^^^ interesting

 

[ekyle]

I liked the first booking the series. Having a hard time getting into the second.

One book is out soon and I think he has 2? more to go after that.

But he takes a long time between books, unfortunately.
