NOW THE ACCLAIMED HBO SERIES GAME OF THRONES—THE MASTERPIECE THAT BECAME A CULTURAL PHENOMENON

Here is the first book in the landmark series that has redefined imaginative fiction and become a modern masterpiece.

A GAME OF THRONES

In a land where summers can last decades and winters a lifetime, trouble is brewing. The cold is returning, and in the frozen wastes to the North of Winterfell, sinister and supernatural forces are massing beyond the kingdom’s protective Wall. At the center of the conflict lie the Starks of Winterfell, a family as harsh and unyielding as the land they were born to. Sweeping from a land of brutal cold to a distant summertime kingdom of epicurean plenty, here is a tale of lords and ladies, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and bastards, who come together in a time of grim omens. Amid plots and counterplots, tragedy and betrayal, victory and terror, the fate of the Starks, their allies, and their enemies hangs perilously in the balance, as each endeavors to win that deadliest of conflicts: the game of thrones.

First off, the book is incredible, extremely detailed and fleshed out. However, the narration leaves much to be desired. From odd pronunciations to flat out mispronunciations of character names and locations within the world, to the narrators inability to keep character voices the same throughout the book, I can't help but feel the Game of Thrones audio book series would benefit from a better narrator.

In a series with literally thousands of characters is does not bode well that the majority of characters sound roughly the same, be they men or women, though the female character voices are vastly worse than their male counterparts.

The narration leaves much to be desired.

This story is full of amazing characters living lives full of love, laughter, joy, fear, terror, and great acts of bravery brought to vivid life by the narration of Mr Dotrice. So grab a cup of tea or a glass of wine and sit back to enjoy this world created by Mr. Martin come into being.

at 1.0x speed the narration has a tendency to feel rushed...like the narrator is part auctioneer. if you slow narration speed between 8.25 to 8.75 the gravitas....the body of the story grabs you. becomes the story not just some English dude rushing through words . the narrator does a wonderful job once you slow his narration bloody well down

speed of narration will lead to enjoyment

Better than the TV series
