A Game of Thrones Hardcover Set Book Review

I am a huge AGOT fan and fan of fantasy fiction in general which is why I was so excited to receive the hardcover Game of Thrones book set as a Christmas present last year. As any fan knows the hardback edition of any book series is the set to collect and over the years I have amounted so many hardback editions from my favorite authors that unfortunately they now compete for space on my ever overloaded and insufficient to my needs, bookshelf.

Among my collections are signed books, first editions and limited editions from different authors including Tolkien and Terry Pratchett.

The hardcover Game of Thrones set is my latest addition and while it is not a first edition, limited or signed it is one for my bookshelf, simply because the hardback edition is such a great set

If you haven't yet I don't know what you are waiting for, George R.R. Martin has been likened to Mr J.R.R. Tolkien himself and if you have read, the Hobbit, LOTR or The Silmarrilion I find it very hard to believe that you would dislike any of the novels in A Song of Ice and Fire.

In fact if you like fantasy fiction at all then you are sure to agree that A Game of Thrones the book is an exceptional piece of fantasy fiction and certainly one of the best to be published in the last 20 years.  For once I am even recommending viewing the HBO adaptation of A Game of Thrones because the transition from novel to television series has been carefully done to give a real feel for not only the characters but the story line which is rare in my opinion.

So if you have a few hours this weekend order your copy online or venture to your local bookstore and get yourself a copy of A Game of Thrones, you won't regret it!
