I very much enjoyed The Hunger Games and definitely recommend reading it. Take that with a grain of salt, though, especially considering what I'm about to say next...

I haven't watched a full episode since the second one. I think, because I'm so into the books, it's hard for me to separate the two. And I just don't enjoy how some of the characters are onscreen as opposed to in my head. Cersei is too likeable. The bond with the wolves isn't as obviously apparent. Jon usually has a derpy look on his face, which makes him come off as an airhead. Less importantly, Tyrion is too pretty, and Jaime and Loras aren't pretty enough (the physical stuff is very minor, though. Obviously you aren't going to get actors that are identical to what you've imagined.)


On the other hand, I'm fully enjoying the picspam, gifs, icons, and snark that comes along with having a television show. And some of the actors have really nailed the characters (Arya and Viserys come immediately to mind.)

I'm probably going to have a mini marathon and watch episodes 3-7 back to back. In the meantime, I'm rereading A Feast for Crows.
