Anyone watch this HBO series? It's incredible! The most recent episode still has me reeling!!!

I have a friend who's read all the books. They are covering a book per season, which I think is a brilliant way to do it! It's really the ONLY way to do a book justice!

Anyway . . . my husband and I watch every Sunday, and this Sunday is the season finale. I'm tempted to read the books, but there's no way I could and not talk to David about them, and he doesn't want to know before he sees! POO!

We're watching, and I have not read the books, either, which is probably better, as I usually find too much fault with things made from books I have read.

I love the dyrewolves, of course, but you would have guessed that!

From what my friend says, they've really done the books justice. Again, i think when you make a book into 6 or more hours of tv or movie, you're much more likely to get a good result. Kinda like the Lord of the Rings trilogy or even Anne of Green Gables. I typically read the books after I've seen the movies, anyway.

And I've always made sure not to expect as much from the movies when I have read the books first.

My brother read the books a couple years ago, and was WAY excited to find out they were coming out with the series on HBO. He got me to watch the episode last weekend. I was confused. lol Looks good though!

It is definitely one you need to watch from the beginning - lots of interwoven story lines, twisting plots and just things to know! I'm not surprised you were confused ...
