Game Of Thrones – April 17 2011



As you maybe aware I have finished reading Game Of Thrones and loved it. I have been looking around the internet to see what I can find out and I didn't realise how popular the book are. So HBO are showing the series on Sky Atlantic on the 17th April 2011, so about 3 months today...

I can't wait, this is how much I enjoyed the book. It is definitely not something I would have gone and bought but after finishing it I realised I should always keep my options open when considering books.

The cast choices are good but I wonder if I could have chosen better???

The Cast is as follows-

* Mark Addy as King Robert Baratheon
* Alfie Allen as Theon Greyjoy
* Sean Bean as Eddard "Ned" Stark
* Emilia Clarke as Daenerys Targaryen
* Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as Ser Jaime Lannister
* Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister
* Michelle Fairley as Catelyn Stark
* Aidan Gillen as Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish
* Jack Gleeson as Joffrey Baratheon
* Iain Glen as Ser Jorah Mormont
* Kit Harington as Jon Snow
* Lena Headey as Cersei Lannister
* Isaac Hempstead-Wright as Bran Stark
* Harry Lloyd as Viserys Targaryen
* Richard Madden as Robb Stark
* Rory McCann as Sandor "The Hound" Clegane
* Sophie Turner as Sansa Stark
* Maisie Williams as Arya Stark

Alfie Allen is Lilly Allens brother he has been in a few things but I am not a fan and I wonder how he got the role..... Sean Bean is in it, legend that he is. I think I would have put him in the series as he would be the first person you would think of to get his sword out like Lord Of The Rings.... A few other great choices are Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Lena Headey, Iain Glen, Mark Addy and Peter Dinklage.







All I am going to say is give it a try, you will more than likely enjoy it.

Finally Finished Game Of Thrones.

Its Sunday, I am chilling after a day with the little man which has been good. I have been doing chores and trying to get stuff sorted and I have realised I have got lazy. I really need to get some motivation back!!

Yesterday I finished Game of thrones and it was awesome, one of the best books I have read in ages.



This means I can get on reading A Clash Of Kings which is the second installment of A Song Of Ice And Fire.



I can't believe Game Of Thrones has 70 or so chapters.... Holy crap....

Anyway that is all from moi, I will post more about A Clash Of Kings when I get past the first few chapters.

Ciao
