(2/49) A book with more than 500 pages : A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin

Summers span decades. Winter can last a lifetime. And the struggle for the Iron Throne has begun. As Warden of the north, Lord Eddard Stark counts it a curse when King Robert bestows on him the office of the Hand. His honour weighs him down at court where a true man does what he will, not what he must … and a dead enemy is a thing of beauty. (Goodreads)

(What an obscure description that is *points above*)
Anyway. Guess who's super late to the game? Yep, me. I (finally) watched the HBO Game of Thrones series a couple of months ago. I watched 4 seasons in 3 days so yes, it's safe to say I loved it. And then I decided to read it. Huh, I don't know when I started doing this the other way round - watching the show/movie and then reading the book. Oh well.
It's a really great read though! I wasn't bored even for a minute, despite having seen the show so recently. Plus I like how it adds more depth to the characters as compared to just watching the show. I hope to catch up with the books soon enough so that I can be one of those annoying people who acts all smug because they know what happens next.
