A Game of Thrones is SUCH a good read. Different than your typical fantasy books - while there are fantastic elements, they are more of a background component than the main subject matter (though I suspect that will change a little in the next 3 books). There are lots of characters to keep track of, but really if you focus on the main players, you can't help but really have a vested interest in what happens to them - even the ones you love to hate. His ability to tell stories from such different points of views is extremely impressive. It's full of political intrigue and while I was initially skeptical of the plot, it sucked me in. It's mind boggling that authors such as he can create whole worlds like they do. Thanks to my brother for recommending it.
