The Audiobooks are great. I read through books 1-3, but once I got a job it became difficult to find time to actually sit down and read a few chapters. So the audiobooks are great, I listen to them as a drive to work and back. It actually makes me glad when I hit traffic, because I have more time to listen. 3. We know incest is a fairly common thing in the Game of Thrones universe, but same as real life, it comes with bad side effects in the children the more closely related you are.

So I know I’m late but I just watched all 8 seasons of GOT in a little less than a month…I don’t say this lightly..GOT fucked tv shows up for me. Obviously seasons 7/8 weren’t the best but the show…it’s the best ever. Game of Thrones T.V. Show vs. Book? Hey guys, I'm a big fan of the GoT TV show, and I'm thinking of reading the books too. My concern is whether or not they follow the same story line - I don't want to spoil the TV show because I read the books. Is there much risk in reading the books?

He’s smarter, more ruthless, and more pragmatic than his show counterpart (particularly in the last couple of seasons). He’s basically Ned 2.0 in the best way possible. pOd7joJ. We're not talking about the books here, no relation. You didn't understand anything at the end of the TV Show, you just proved it. I just expressed my opinion, I did not insult, unlike you. You refuse to be a civilized human, so go back to crying your salt over the ending of Game Of Throne, which you didn't understand.

Joffrey, tipsy, is eager to "play knights" and defend the damsel in distress. All they need is a villain. Joffrey draws his sword, live steel he never gets to use. The both show had a lot of fans. The both show were rated very high while the shows were going on. But, Breaking Bad objectively had a better ending/final season than Game of thrones.
