Game of Thrones

So, I got about 20 minutes into this and realised there was no way on earth I would remember who half of these people were in the next episode, so decided it was best to wait and watch a bunch in a row. Sean Bean is excitingly craggy though; hope this is not a case of bait and switch and he will not end up being eaten by a dire-wolf in episode three. That will annoy me a great deal. Everyone looked suitably cold and grimy (though as I am not gritty viewing sort of person, I hope there will be a great deal of bathing soon.)

Is this the sort of book you think I would like? I have a feeling it would be a lot better to watch this having read the books as it seems to have a cast of about 500,000 and what with all the grime I can see myself getting people confused. Except for Sean Bean, of course. His grime is special.

I'm not keen on epic fantasy and still enjoyed them; there's a lot of politics and he's strong on characterization.
