COMMUNITY REVIEWS

excellent submitted by klsyking on July 20, 2011, 8:19am I've read reviews on NPR of these books and their critic calls George R.R. Martin the Tolkien of our times. I agree wholeheartedly with this assessment. Fantasy books can be drool, because there are only so many ways that you can tell the same story. Martin's books, on the other hand, are exciting and complex with a cast of characters that one becomes attached to very quickly. The narrator isn't the best, but you get used to him. The hold weight is kind of long for this book right now, but it's totally worth the wait if you like a good story.

Great series submitted by ashflowtuff on June 28, 2012, 12:46pm Definitely read this series. Don't be intimidated by the length of the books. You will get sucked in and finish them faster that you think. Read them before you watch the TV show. This is one of the best fantasy stories I've read.

Excellent writing and narration submitted by TraxAttack on May 28, 2014, 8:17am George R. R. Martin has created compelling and varied characters in an interesting medieval world (featuring just the slightest touch of magic). You'll meet egotistical knights, a drunken king and numerous power hungry nobles. I was shocked at the twists and turns in this novel and loved hearing the variety of voices Roy Dotrice has at his disposal. Excellent writing and top-notch narration have come together to in a perfect package.

Love it submitted by srclark734 on July 10, 2014, 5:40pm Great book. Very like the TV show you should listen to this first though. I did not and regret it. Though it is a good TV show too.

Very engaging submitted by Kenziezaitzeff on July 5, 2018, 3:25pm This series is a well made series that includes persons that are differently abled, well written female characters, engaging magic and etc. The reader uses excellent vocal variety

A Game of Thrones submitted by avrogers1 on July 12, 2019, 10:59am This is a wonderful series. Its really well written, but there are a lot if character to try and connect. Overall I really liked it. Sometimes its nice to just listen to a story!
