OK, thanks for the info. I'm actually about 120 pages into the first book. Ned just left for King's Landing, Jon Snow for The Wall, and Catelyn suspects the Lannisters of pushing Bran off the tower.
This universe has such rich history; I can see where the book is able to squeeze in more information about it where the show couldn't. Robert Baratheon for instance. That dude was just a fat shit tub of lard in the show. He was in the book as well but they also explained that he was once a great warrior. Like 6'6" with the strength of a giant. Ned could barely even lift his battle axe. And when they talked about the three dragons that laid waste during the war all those years ago. Apparently, the largest one could swallow a mammoth whole.
That kind of shit is cool to me. I'll just keep reading and see how it goes.
