A review by truebookaddict
A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin

5.0

A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin was published in 1996. I can't believe it took me fifteen years to discover it. I have always been a lover of the fantasy genre, especially epic fantasy such as this book, so it's quite strange that I never picked it up. Not until I started seeing previews of a certain series that was coming to HBO in Spring 2011 did I learn that it was based on a book and then my interest was piqued... highly. This book is both plot and character driven and that is what makes it so great.
