I didn't read the book but I constantly hear people complaining that the TV serial "is so much worse, the producer ruined it all and blah blah blah"
However, people always say this when they compare a book and a movie/serial
Actually, I had never heard someone saying that movie was better than a book![]()

TV/Film is only an adaptation of the book and rarely an exact replica.
I actually get a bit fed up of some of the holier than thou bookies who insist that that adaptation is "wrong" because such and such happened in the book. With fiction... both are fiction - so who gives a ****?
Non-fiction is a little different.
I have the first book but yet to start it. But the TV shows is absolutely superb, regardless.

You're right, people often forget that any film is an adaptation (probably, I am one of those as well). For instance, the Hobbit book is extremely interesting, but it's a bit static and lacks actions, so the director added some parts that weren't actually in the book and the film turned out to be great![]()

I wasn't that keen on the Hobbit (movie) to be honest. But on the same note, I don't rate the book that highly either
Lord of the Rings... loved the books and loved the films. I read the books first (on multiple occasions) and thought the films were superb adaptations.
DarthFed said:^ Not all of them. I haven't read through the rest of the books yet but at least on the show they kind of gave away part of Bran's future last season by saying that "he will never walk again but he will fly"
