[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree on "bloat." I've read all 5 books 3 times and seen all but the current season of the show. I love that the books are long and full of detail and asides and atmosphere. I love the world he's created and like that I get to spend so much time in it. Plus many of the "side" plots and characters actually contribute to the "main" plot in that they fill in little details in reconstructing the backstory on all the main characters and their parents and how all the claimants to the Iron Throne came to be and why certain people are supporting certain others. But it takes 2-3 reads of the books to start piecing all this together- on the first read you don't know which details are important and which are just atmosphere.

I'm leery of watching the current season because it sounds like they are changing so much form the books- why is Sansa marrying Ramsay instead of Jayne Poole, why is Jaime going to Dorne, etc. [/quote]

OP here- I think you might like this season unless you're a purist. It's not clear whether the plot is really changing or whether the producers are having main characters take over some of the story arc to compress it a bit.

I like the details too- there were a few things I could have done without. [/quote]
