Game of Thrones (or... Song of Ice and Fire?)

So... good job Mathewses... I am addicted. I even started doing some art (real art... with paint and stuff!) late at night so that I could keep listening to this book. I can't believe I balked at the Outlanderish length, when I'm already on the second of four downloaded parts. Oh Audiobooks. 

I also broke down and watched the first... one and a half episodes of the show (I stopped to cook dinner in the middle of the second, and then decided I'd rather listen than watch). I think it does not do a terrible job, but there are certain things I would do differently... like make John Snow not have such a wuss face all the time. I'll retain my other critiques for the comments if anybody actually wants to hear them.

sure bout that eyebrow tilt choice? Maaaybe? Maybe not?
I do, of course, love Tyrian Lannister... everybody's favorite dwarf actor ever... of whom my favorite roll that he may have ever acted was "Lemon" from "Penelope"... with his little pirate notepad... he is, however, also not how I pictured Tyrian. I may keep watching the show for him though. and did this narrator do voices in "Skippy Dies?"
