I watched the TV series before reading the book and I think it made it easier to keep the characters straight. Otherwise I think all the names and people could be overwhelming to keep track of while understanding the world.

The book is less graphic than the TV show. There are characters you love and ones you love to hate. It is a wild ride in search of justice and peace.

What can I say that hasn't been said about this book already? I normally don't like books that focus almost exclusively on political intrigue, but R.R. Martin is a master at what he does. The world building and character development are excellent.
