Ice Audiobook

" I stopped watching the series to read the books and I am not disappointed. HBO has done a marvelous job with the TV adaptation but reading the books allows you to capture more detail and really understand the depth of the characters. Highly recommend the series. "

" I'm always reluctant to jump into trendy series, but I'm glad I decided to give this one a whirl. Really enjoyed the character development and plot line and I'm looking forward to continuing the series. "

" I watched the HBO season first so I already knew what to expect for the most part. The HBO series did a great job capturing each character. The book was great and a pretty quick read. The chapters are interesting and change from character to character, told from their point of view. "

" Took a while to get into it but once I did I couldn't put it down. Can't wait to read more. "

" First I did some binge watching of season one and then read the book. Thoroughly enjoyable, but since I had just seen the series it followed the book so closely, was a touch repetitive. Now on to season two! "

" This is normally not my kind of book but I could not put it down. Amazing story. "

" Well written and grabs your attention from the first page. Gave t the rating that I did because it was too violent and gory to my taste. "

" Great book, glad to be done with it though. I had seen the first season on the show, so I was familiar with the plot, exited to be on to the second one. "

" Sublime, currently on A Clash of Kings. The television show is a wonderful supplement to the books. "

" This is why I don't write, because I could never be this good. "

" This is the perfect combination of mystery, thrill and Magic! This author is a fucking genius! He'll have you laughing your ass out one moment and the next you could be shredding tears. You'll love him and you'll hate him. But he'll never disappoint you. "

" Excellent novel. Fully of gritty realism and EXCELLENT characterizations. Each individual is fully developed and realized. The motivations for each character and nation make sense. Well-written, well-plotted, well-done. "

" I love this book. So much more mature and better than Percy Jackson. Even though my buddies r crazy for P.J. I'd recommend this book. A few pages captivate u a lot. "

" My first experience with George R. R. Martin and most definitely not the last. His storytelling style in AGoT is unlike any other fantasy prose I've read before. A must read for anyone into fantasy, kings and queens, medieval times, and some magic! "

" Martin is in no hurry to tell his tale, but I still enjoyed it. He certainly created his societies, which seem to advance as slowly as the plot. I tried watching the first two episodes created by HBO, and was unimpressed. I may take the next book on, but not sure. "

" The first season is almost the exact same :) "

" Resisted for a long time, but spurred to read by the TV series. Well worth the effort - really enjoyed reading and will continue reading the rest of the series. "

" Greatly enjoyed this novel! I could hardly put this book down. Fresh new story line, different point of views, and new worlds and characters to fall in love with and hate. "

" Pretty amazing. He's writing style is really engrossing, and he manages to tell you about the histories of the characters as well as the land along with the narrative, and without an infodump, which is INCREDIBLY rare. "

" I tried to like it, but nothing ever seems to happen in the whole book. "

" Great Book! George R. R. Martin created an enormous and expansive world of Hi-Fantasy that grabs you at every page turn. This first book (of possibly 7?) is a must-read for any Sci-Fi/Fantasy fan. "

" Amazing stuff, mainly because the writer is capable to take on multiple personas and play them out so well alongside each other. A very captivating series. "

" Awesome writing that grips the reader even if you've watched the series first (which is what I did). The book provides an additional layer of depth and it was such an amazing journey, having the images in my head while I relived the story. "

" Really looking forward to the rest of the series. I think this book is destined to be a classic. Once I am finished with the books, it's time to check out the show. "

" Love the book. I am so happy that the TV show on HBO is following the book. I cant wait to read the second book. "

" 9/10. Just when you think it can't get any better or more surprising... "

" The prose can get a little flowery from time to time, but, man, what a story! "

" This is an amateurish collection of painful cliches. It is a form of intellectual torture to try to read this book. As a member of a genre not known for brilliant writing, this book has reached a new low. "

" Great read. Good compelling story. This was another that I couldn't put down. "

" This book is probably my favorite fiction book. "
