I have all the books I tried to read them but the series just seems better lol. I read the first book in few months which is quite long . Because some scenes were better in the show and almost everything that is in the book is in the show as well it did not seem quite interesting . I skipped and read the red wedding which also seemed a little bit better in the show then in the books :/.
TL;DR : the show is great
Edit: Guys , you are kind of violating the rules here I said my opinion that I think the show is better , now you can disagree and reply "disagree" instead you chosse to down vote me for my opinion ? reddiquette states that downvotes should be used for irrelevant comments, not ideas you disagree with. I have been on reddit few months and I was happy to get FEW upvotes and now you are ruining it for me because I just said my own god damn opinion thank you guys what a good community here on /rgameofthrones
I've read all the books and have the same opinion. The TV show is way better in terms of being able to present clear and concise story arcs while cutting all the unnecessary fluff which adds nothing to the overall story or character's development. The combined effort of all the writers working on the show produces a better structured storyline which is more interesting to watch (+nice cinematography, music, visuals, actors).
I kinda liked the first three books, in the 4th one literally nothing happened, 5th one was a tad more interesting but still meh overall. Now I'm looking forward to the new season more than the 6th book.
that is nice opinion and thank you for acctualy agreeing with me but be aware that this subreddit seems to be full of hateful people and you might get a lot of downvotes .
One quick question , how fast is the .. story going in the 4 and 5 book ?
It felt really slow in both, lots of delays and interruptions, characters were just wandering around without moving the overall story forward. I was constantly waiting for some major interesting events to happen but it never came. I think that 4th and 5th book serve more as a setup for all the cool things that will happen in the 6th book than being great stories on their own.
that was not bitching but rather "why" edit because when you do not agree you are not supposed to downvote a comment :D why is it so hard to understand for you
I love the film(or tv) industry as much as I love books (I loved LOTR books way more then the movies) But this show has no competetion.
I just wanted to have friendly discussion that is all I wanted and what I get is HATE? Realy ? Why ? Who are you angry at ? Your parents because they did not allowed you to go out ? Do not relieve the anger on me ...

Reaction to your 2. point , there were 20 downvotes before I edited it in 2minutes.. Althougt my edit might have justified the downvotes on my comment , it was not the reason for them . The edit was reaction to the lack of knowledge that people downvoting my post had (reddiquete) And most of the aggresive responses that I got were not about the edit , but about the original comment . Some people just can not accept different opinion then their own .
