A Game of Thrones

A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin

In a land where summers can last decades and winters a lifetime, trouble is brewing. The cold is returning, and in the frozen wastes of the north of Winterfell, sinister and supernatural forces are massing beyond the kingdom's protective Wall. At the center of the conflict lie the Starks of Winterfell, a family as harsh and unyielding as the land they were born to. Sweeping from a land of brutal cold to a distant summertime kingdom of epicurean plenty, here is a tale of lords and ladies, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and bastards, who come together in a time of grim omens. Amid plots and counterplots, tragedy and betrayal, victory and terror, the fate of the Starks, their allies, and their enemies hangs perilously in the balance, as each endeavors to win that deadliest of conflicts: the game of thrones.

                          Mary Joy- This book will appeal to anyone with even the slightest taste for fantasy. It is full of interesting and very realistic characters who's conflicts keep the suspense high, and of course the author's penchant for killing off the main characters and tossing in entirely unexpected plot twists will keep the pages turning. Over all "A Game Of Thrones" is a great book for anyone who wants a good read and is not daunted by the sheer length.
