I encourage you to read the books kasi even though HBO series was an awesome adaptation of the book, iba pa rin pag binasa mo. And hindi ka ba nabitin sa end ng tv series? Next year pa kasi ang labas ng Clash of Kings sa HBO.

Its dark and cynical and there is a strong sense of melancholy in the characters to the point that you can say its too gloomy. Nobody is truly happy. There are no moments of levity. That is not to say that its not good. In fact, its very good but if you're the type of person who needs a book that is affirming, this is not the book for you. Its a lot different than LOTR with regards to treatment and theme. In LOTR, its basically good vs evil with good eventually winning always over evil no matter how hopeless it seems. In Song of Fire and Ice, the good doesn't always win. The wicked prospers. In fact, the line that separate between the two may not always be so clear. The "good" characters sometimes makes decisions that cause more harm than good and the "evil" characters sometimes are capable of selfless acts of compassion.

Btw, if you're really into reading the books... storm of swords (book 3) is waaaaay much better than the previous installments and most probably you'll find yourself caught off-guard on how the turn of events transpired.

I've only read the first book and am hesitant about continuing the series since it isn't finished still. The anticipation of something is far to taxing, thus I opt to wait a few years before truly immersing myself into the series.
Also it is said that every time fans complain about when the next book is coming out Martin kills off a Stark! Hahahaha
