I can't remember anyone's name, but since all my friends who are watching it and my partner have read it, they keep helping me out.

oo is it a good book?

It's a terrific book, but you have to be ready for a shifting perspective story. No two chapters *in a row* are told from the viewpoint of the same character, and, as you're seeing from the TV show, there are a *lot* of characters.

And, not surprisingly, things have been simplified for the screen.

Also, not to spoil anything, but...the full end of the story has not been told yet. Book 5 is due out in July (finally!) with (in theory) two more books planned.

(Edit: pesky grammar bit that only I would probably be bothered by. And a factual error corrected - the bit in *asterisks*. Oopsie.)

I broke down and read it this past week after watching the first episode of the series. It's quite engaging. I would recommend it.

yes. it (they) are a series of magnificent, brutal, challenging reads and I recommend them all very highly.
