"When you play a game of thrones you win or you die." 
 To review a A Game of Thrones book feel like a small gamble. Either you will join the crazy hyped up fandom or you will get stabbed down by it. 
 Luckily I was one of those who really enjoyed this book. It was an excellent book, fantastic even. Will my life continue to gyrate around this series? Probably... 
 "... a mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge." 
 Martin is a born storyteller. He has put his mind, breath and soul into this series and it is reflected in the work. The language is flowing and the characters well worked and interesting and it has dragons Do I have to say more? Even with magic, snow zombies and mythical creatures, Martin has manage to create a world that is weirdly realistic. Another thing that ads to the reliability of the story is that there is no happy ending. It doesn't matter how important one character is to the story, no one is safe, which can not be said about a lot of other books. 
 I have no doubts that within 100 years A Game of Thrones will have become a classic and will be read and reviewed by, not only fantasy geeks, but also classic-enthusiasts all over the globe.
