GoT Reading Update

So, I am more than halfway through the first book of the Song of Fire and Ice collection, A Game of Thrones. Here are my thoughts on the book vs the show. First off, the book much much better obviously but also I can see how the producers and writers on the show have decided to make some of the scenes they use. There are a lot of scenes in the show that are a combination of two separate events in the book, typically the events are very closely related and they have combined the two and taken a little away to get what we see on the show. They are typically fairly in line with the storyline of the book but in general things are quite different. As I get further into the book things to seem to change more and more. The story is just so much more developed and detailed. There are so many things that make you think and change your opinion of the events you already know of. I cannot wait to get to the end of the book. The new girl who works with me now, Becky, is also reading them and she just finished the first book and said she could barely put it down at the end! Brans story line in the book is so much more detailed and interesting than what we got in the show. The whole trip to the Eyrie was condensed into one day on the show more or less and it was quite an event. Also Ser Rodrick was with Catelyn the whole trip, not back in Winterfell and there is a funny storyline about his whiskers. The way that things went down in Kings Landing with Eddard are quite different, not 100% but different. Anyhow, I really dont want to say too much because I do not want to give anything away. Oh, lastly though the amount of information we are denied about Dany's storyline in the show vs the book might be the worst, the Dothraki make much more sense to me now than in the show.
