They are very lengthy books, increasingly so as they go along (the last two books he did, were meant to be one book, but he realized he was only half done and had 800+pages so he cut the book into two separate ones). I just reread the first book last weekend, and it had about 730pages plus an apendix-753pages total. Not sure the amount of chapters, as they aren't numbered (he uses the character names as chapter markers 'Bran' for a Bran centric chapter, Tyrion, Ayra, etc). Book two is...836pages, and I haven't read the others yet but they are around abouts the same length.
They are longer, wordier, in more indepth then HP books, the world is massive, cultures and characters numerous and well designed-can be confusing to some. If you like in depth, well written novels, with a massive world and can keep track of dozens of characters and minor plots instead of one or two big plots and two or three main characters, then it is a great read. I know a few people that won't read it, because there is to much 'boring description and background shite'.
Also, be aware there are 3 little mini novels that take place about 90years before the main series-not horribly important or anything, but worth a read if you have time.How many chapters does a game of thrones have? George R. R. Martin.?
The first 2 of the three mini novels are Hedge Knight, and Sworn Sword, the series is Tale of Dunk and Egg. There will be seven novels in the main series, going by what I last heard. A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords, A Feast For Crows, %26amp; A Dance with Dragons are out now.
