The Big Question: Game Of Thrones… TV Show Or Books?

Okay, so here’s a question that’s gonna get blood flowing in the streets.

Game of Thrones. Which is best? The books or the TV show?

As someone who loves the TV show, but found the books to be a little bit average…

I think you can guess where this is going.

Even Chris Jager, who is our resident Game of Thrones mega-nerd, admitted to me that the books aren’t brilliantly written.

That being said — I absolutely respect the scale of GRRM’s world building, and what it takes to craft a universe like Westeros. But personally? I’m happy to just watch the show.

How about you?
