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.

I've watched the entire game of thrones series multiple times and always wanted to read the books. Only problem with the books is their massive and would take months to read for me, audible solves this problem as I love to listen.

Amazing book

I’m specifically writing this to compliment Roy Dotrice’s narrating skills (Everybody knows the book is great). Even though the narrator can sometimes take weird voices that get hard to understand (Varys), I still like how much he reflects the characters emotions in his voice. It really emerges you in the story. He’s also very good at changing voices for different characters, in ways that fit GRRM’s definitions. He gives life to the characters.

Outstanding book. Great voice acting.

This is an incredible way to read a book. And the narrator and narration was astonishing. This is a thousand times better than watching the movies!

WOW!

I read this book over several months a couple of hours at a time and it was a very entertaining journey. Roy Dortrice does an excellent performance and as someone who has never read the GoT books or watched the television show I will be starting the second book as soon as I'm done writing this review!

A very long very good read
