Wikipedia does summaries of the various books

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Song_of_Ice_and_Fire

which ought to ruin it for anyone!

I have neither read it, nor seen the TV - but I did read some rather scathing reviews somewhere, which put me off - particularly given characters like Bran ....

[openidwouldwork.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that is why I'm so confused... I read the German translation and Stark is still alive by the end of the first book... and I'm so put of by the POV characters (exept the adult male ones... all others make me want to scream) and the utter b******s of the women that I don't want to read further...

I'd be interested to see the first TV episode for curiosity's sake, but the reviews have so far put me off reading the books.

[openidwouldwork.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I'm not impressed with the book(s), not interested in reading child POVs and angry at the author for having made every single woman an utter bitch...

But yeah, I'd like to watch the first episode for curiosity's sake.

I think the idea is that 'strong woman' equals bitch - especially in fantasy. Women either kick ass, or ... um, cater exclusively for the alpha-male's desires.

These do neither but are unpalatable to me all the same.

The review I read went on about the whinging Bran ... and various weird relationships. I am not tempted

I do abhor all the children's POVs *shudders*
