Have you been watching: HBOs Game of Thrones?

I love G o T.
And must say, that it is quite close to the books too.
I like the fact that anyone and everyone gets bumped off at some time. And that there is no typical Hollywood ending where there hero rides in and saves the day.

 

Yes, people you expect to last at least one book, gone!!

 

i have to say Game Of Thrones has to be one of my fav shows...ever! its just bloody fantastic

tv shows nowaday are seriously becoming better than movies

 

I just have to say, the Red Wedding was one of the most dramatic things I've seen on tv. Can't say more for fear of spoilers!

 

it was enough reading it! on the most recent book. Hurry up and publish the next one before I finish this!

 

wasn't it just! you had to pick your jaw up of the floor after

 

What was it like visually?

 

Was quite descriptive in the book too

 

what was it like visually? well it was like my mouth just fell open & stayed like that 'till the end of the episode...& then for quite a while after too

 

Does anyone know of a similar book series?

I am reading the last GOT, and was thinking of what to read next?

 

I've just finished the last one myself, last night. I'm going to read the Belgeriad by David Eddings next, there's a few of those as well

 

Does it have a similar medieval/fantasy theme?

 

It's definitely fantasy, maybe a bit less feudal than GoT. I've never read them before, I'm looking forward to them! Here's the wiki link for a bit more detail than I can give
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Belgariad

 

Cant think of anything quite like GoT - David Eddings is good, if a bit tame after all the death, Stephen Donaldson The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant is probably closest but its very dark & very very depressing. If you havent read it The riftwar Saga - Raymon E Feist is a good read.

 

I've read a couple of Raymon E Feist's, they're quite good
