A3: I am addicted on this show since the first season of Game of Thrones dvd online comes out. I can not wait for the next season so I also want to read the book to know what will happen next. So I can tell you that the book is closely to game of thrones dvd set, but there are also some differences between them. Like the characters are combined and some storyline are simplified. If you want to know exactly, I suggest you to watch this show after finishing book.
