GAME OF THRONES (A SONG OF FIRE AND ICE BOOK 1) 
by George R.R. Martin
5 stars

I just love this series. I have read the books 3 times and I watch the show on HBO.

Martin is superb. His descriptions come to life. The plot pulls you in and makes you continue reading all hours of the night. The characters are all excellent. Even the evil ones are great. My favorite characters are Arya Stark, Jon Snow, Tyrion Lannister, and Sandor Clegane.
