I read A Game of Thrones based on a recommendation so I finished the whole book because of that as well as the fact that its an easy read despite its length. However, compared to other books in this genre I would rather have spent the time on other books including rereading The Lord of the Rings or Dune again for the umpteenth time. I realize this isn't a popular view and I don't know if my high expectations for it influenced my reading when I should have just enjoyed it for itself.
