    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 ...

    Oh yeah, it can be confusing even if you watch every show in order! There are a lot of characters and every character has several stories! It's awesome, though, and if you have HBO on demand, all the episodes are there.

    I started reading the books because I knew the series was coming on, and it does make more sense! The books have useful appendices which details who's who in the zoo.
