Martin is just very detailed. You'll notice that if/when you read them. A lot of the length is due to his describing the scene, wardrobes, expressions on characters faces, all the way down to the food that they are eating. How you picture it in your head is very similar to how you'll see it on the show.
He'll describe a character practically down to the shoes they're wearing. If you like books that are detailed, you'll like these books. I'm on the last one right now. I have never been much of a reader, but have enjoyed these for sure.
