I've read the books. Enjoying the series even though the story becomes less and less interesting with each subsequent book. Dinklage is awesome.
I actually thought books 2-3 were better than 1, but they were all awesome. And I don't see how you can possibly, in any conceivable way, say that 4 > 5. 4 has the best name of all the books in my opinion, but the book was way way way worse.
Have not read any of the books but I am pretty much loving the show. The smog monster crawling out of the hot ginger's vag was a bit out there. They haven't jumped the shark yet though. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
