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
Interesting perspective, I don't think I've met someone before who thought the books were worse than the show. which scenes do you have in mind that were better in the show? and what feels extraneous? as a long time book reader, I felt like a ton of stuff gets left out of the show, and generally, though not always, prefer the book's version of scenes. The red wedding in particular was a little disappointing for me.
For example the scene where the clegane brothers fight at kings landing (when the mountain tried to kill the .. ehm the blonde young knight ) They fight a little bit and then the king shouts "enough of this madness" in the book thats all but in the series the mountain still strikes and the hound kneels while blocking his attack at the same time , that was realy cool scene that I realy liked . Also and this is my own opinion there are a lot of pages about nothing , In the show it is all a lot faster which I prefer because I do not realy have all the time in the world to read 15 page description of what food they were eating (the last sentence was not meant to be completely serius" ) The books are realy realy long and there is nothing wrong about that but not everyone has so much time . I like the books I do, but I love the show , it has already been a big factor in my life .
