Review by Lotufou on 7th June, 2011
5 stars "I never thought I was a fantasy fiction type"

When my friend told I would “love” this book I thought she was exaggerating. I thought I would like but I was wrong in many ways…I loved it.

I don't know if I'm into fantasy novels but I am surely into this one.
The story is not difficult to comprehend. There are Houses, politics, wars, some good characters, a bastard child, prophecies, portents, warnings, dragons; and it's set in a world in which children grow up fast.

I know my review does not give it the justice it deserves but this book should be read by everyone.

 
 
Review by Jonathon on 4th May, 2012
5 stars "Spectacular"

If you havent seen the series yet then this is a great starting point! Martin combines war, murder, sex and betrayal all in one little gem of a book. I can promise all readers nasty little surprises when you expect it the least too :P (in a kinda good way)

 
 
Review by Patricia on 8th February, 2012
5 stars "TV series is epic, yet the book is somehow BETTER"

Martin has a way with words, and the universe he has crafted comes to life in this book. I have no words to give it justice; just know that you should read it. Any fantasy reader would. And even if you're not into fantasy, maybe give it a try- [;

Can't wait to read the rest of the series!

 
 
Review by Wendy on 8th February, 2012
5 stars "Couldn't put it down!"

This book is one of those epics that you simply HAVE to read! When it first arrived I thought ‘wow that’s rather a long book!' but it's so good I read it in less than a week :)

5 stars "Fantastic delivery timing & excellent book!"

I ordered this for my boyfriend for Christmas and it was delivered the very next day amidst all the rush! Although he's not letting me read it yet until he's finished it, I snuck a look at the first few pages and simply couldn't bear to put it down!

Review by Georgia on 5th November, 2011
5 stars "Awesome"

I could not put it down, spending all night reading suddenly seemed quite reasonable.

Brilliant book, and while it is quite long, it is really interesting the whole way through. Better than J.K. Rowling and Tolkien put together. Fascinating and one of the best books I have ever read.

 
 
Review by Roneel on 7th October, 2011
5 stars "Amazing"

Any fan of Tolkien will be captivated by this experience.

 
 
Review by Cushla on 23rd September, 2011
5 stars "Amazing introduction into a cleverly constructed world."

My partner started reading the series when they first came out and has been hassling me to read them. When I finally picked up “A Game of Thrones” and started to read I was hooked.

George R.R. Martin has created an intricate and cleverly constructed world that allows the reader to engage with characters. This book is a wonderful introduction into a fantastic series, with it's twists leaving you reeling.

Review by Reon on 15th April, 2011
5 stars "Stands up to praise"

I had heard many good things about this book and was happily surprised that I found it at least as good as people had told me it was.
Definitely worth the read.

Review by Mark on 15th October, 2009
5 stars "The first of a stunning epic by the true heir to J.R.R. Tolkien"

An excellent writer. He draws you into a world, large and wonderous, filled with many amazing characters worthy Tolkien.
The game of thrones is not a game for the week hearted, where there is betrayal and deceit hidden in unlikely places. Courage and honour are hard to come by, and only hinder you in the court of the Iron Throne.
