A Clash of Kings by George R. R. Martin

Today I finished reading A Clash of Kings by George R. R. Martin.

This was a hospital bed read.

I enjoyed Game of Thrones so much I decided to tackle the 1,000 page sequel, A Clash of Kings.  It was very entertaining.  Martin is a master story teller.  Now I'll have to take a deep breath and read the third book of the series.

Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin

Today I finished reading Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin.

This was a hospital bed read.

I had watched the HBO Game of Thrones series.   And had enjoyed it thoroughly.  I asked for this book for my birthday because I wanted to see how true to the book the TV program had been.  I was suprised.  Martin has an extensive background as a screenwriter.  The book is written as a model screenplay and HBO followed it 90% of the time.  It's a long book (perfect for a hospital bed) but well worth the time.
