I've relentled and started reading the books.
Just finished the first hundred or so pages, (where the first TV episode finished)
Here are some points I'd like to make.
* Robb Stark and Jon Snow look nothing like 14 years of age on the TV Show.
* In watching the show I wasn't aware of 'Rickon' the youngest Stark child.
* I thought Theon was the 5th Stark Child (It hasn't been put across in the show very well how a Greyjoy came to be living with the Starks. Although maybe that will come later when it has more relevance)
* It's after reading this section of the first book that I realise how well Mark Addy captured Robert Baratheon.
* I concur with Narc, The Daenerys chapters are fabulous.
