When I first listened to the audio book version of “A Game of Thrones” I put it down at a point that I think many people can identify without me spelling it out. I was to angry to continue reading, and I stuck with that notion determined to never read another book by Martin. Well a friend made a good point to me one day, when has any other book elicited such a strong true emotional reaction. When have I been that surprised at the events in a book.

This is why I finally re-read the book and finished it. Because in truth I really wanted to know more about the world and characters of the Seven kingdoms. That is also why I have given this story 5 stars. Martin will keep you on the edge of your seat with surprises from page one. Enjoy this book and check out the new HBO series, only after reading the book.
