I've read all the books, and now frankly wish I hadn't. Seriously, the show is so well done, the only thing that sucks is knowing what's going to happen. Especially this season, since the third book is the best of the bunch.

I might be just a crazy fanboy of the books, but to me, the show doesn't do the story justice. What makes ASOIAF such a masterpiece is the endless myriad of details that all fit together like an amazing, huge puzzle. It's mind-blowing how GRRM could have thought of everything he did. It should be impossible for a human being to have such an imagination, but he somehow does.
Sure, the broad strokes of the show still create an interesting and intriguing story and it is rather enjoyable, but shit, man, the books are like a million times better.
