Is 'Game of Thrones' really as awesome a book as I've been told?

Yes it is. The 3rd book in the series was by far the best, but the 1st was decent too. Actually had working relaisitc geopolitics, and an author who wasn't afraid to kill off characters in an unpredicatable fashion or shy away from fairytale cliches. It starts slow, a couple of the narrators are absolutly boring, but it is worht it for the compelx plots and better point of view voices.
