I tried to read A Game Of Thrones and it was so boring. It didn't stay with one character long enough for me to get invested in their story. Too many characters, and not enough writing skill to pull that number off.

I think George should have written a few simpler novels to practice good writing before he went and did a big project like this.

I read the first book back in the 00s. This was just before everyone was making these epic, high production TV series. Even so, my first thought was, this would do well as an HBO/Showtime/cable series. My second thought was, I'm not going to bother reading any of the other books. Too many characters that I not only didn't like, but could keep track of. Having a different chapter for each character, and jumping back and forth, not for me.
