The enormous popularity of HBO’s Game of Thrones led many to believe that the source material — the book series A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin — must be even better. It's not. All subtlety and character depth were creations of the show’s writers and actors.

What? No one's ever liked this critique?! Well, I'll be the first. I own the first book, and I've seen the show. They're good in their own ways, but there's a reason I stopped reading the books... I'm just not a fan of how G. R. R. Martin chose to write certain scenes... a little too dark and sadistic, in my opinion. But fans like it, so I keep my opinion to myself.
