I'm about to start the third book. I like it, but I don't find myself getting pulled in like I love having happen. I dunno. In some areas it's too wordy. In others it moves sloooooowly. And I'm going to be pissed if the people I like end up all getting killed off (should that happen, I don't see myself continuing to read).
On another note, I saw the first episode of the HBO series. I must say that I'm impressed. It seems to follow the books pretty well, and I like the a tors chosen for the parts (well, except for Jon Snow...he should've definitely been hotter).
