OK! Incidentally, I read Game of thrones when it first cane out and have yet to watch any of the series! However, the rule of never reading the book after watching the film holds firm.
Can anyone think of good examples of films that are as good/ better than the book? The only things I can think of off the top of my head are Annihilation and Apocalypse Now (which is a very, very loose adaptation anyway).
Noooooo, don't watch the films--preserve your memories. The films are utter, utter shit. :(
