I read the first book a few years back and I just never felt the need to continue on with the series. I didn't hate this book but I didn't find it all that great either.

I read this one and the bare bones are the same but the feel and rhythm and major events are very different. It is truly a time when the TV show exceeded the books, and I believe the books came first and then the TV kind of evolved from them but then went in their own direciton.Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1787660033880172725.post-52226931800915222732012-01-11T12:23:34.567-04:002012-01-11T12:23:34.567-04:00I read this one many years ago due to a coworker w...I read this one many years ago due to a coworker who LOVED it and recommended it to everyone.

I've debated reading the books because I've heard they're good, though I wonder if I'd enjoy them after already seeing the TV show ... Hmm. I guess I'll have to keep thinking about it! I know my library has them, so I'm not in a rush. Thanks for the review!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
