About this listen
One of The Times’ 25 Best Audiobooks.
HBO’s hit series A Game of Thrones is based on George R. R. Martin’s internationally best-selling series A Song of Ice and Fire, the greatest fantasy epic of the modern age. A Game of Thrones is the first volume in the series.
Summers span decades. Winter can last a lifetime. And the struggle for the Iron Throne has begun.
It will stretch from the south, where heat breeds plot, lusts and intrigues, to the vast and savage eastern lands, all the way to the frozen north, where an 800-foot wall of ice protects the kingdom from the dark forces that lie beyond. Kings and queens, knights and renegades, liars, lords and honest men...all will play the Game of Thrones.
Winter is coming....

Critic Reviews
"A Game of Thrones grabs hold and won’t let go. It’s brilliant." (Robert Jordan)
"Colossal, staggering... Martin captures all the intoxicating complexity of the Wars of the Roses or Imperial Rome in his imaginary world...one of the greats of fantasy literature." (SFX)
"Fantasy literature has never shied away from grandeur, but the sheer-mind-boggling scope of this epic has sent other fantasy writers away shaking their heads.... Its ambition: to construct the Twelve Caesars of fantasy fiction, with characters so venomous they could eat the Borgias." (Guardian)

I got turned off in the beginning
I got turned off in the beginning with the narration. especially with the accent used with Varys disappointed me because Varys has a great many fantastic dialogues and if this was how he was gonna sound then it would spoil my experience..but as I progressed, I really began to warm up to the narration and started loving it and found myself making time frequently to resume the book

I love this book and love the TV series
What a story and really good narration. initially it was too much accent and modulation added to the dialogs but once you have heard for around 30min, you get used to it and then on the words become clearer.

Roy Dotrice is amazing.
Don't miss this read on audible. Roy Dotrice is amazing. I saw the show first. Not much difference apart from the description of appearances/look of some of the characters.

Impressive Narration
My praises to the narrator, Roy Dotrice, for so beautifully bringing out the accents and voices. Beyond a point, its like closing your eyes and listening to the characters talk in their own voices and accents. Brilliant !

irritating reading of great story
narrator tries his hands at various voices, sometimes trying to mimic the character voices in the HBO show. can be irritating at times.

Brilliant
Picked this book after watching the HBO series and wasn't sure how it would turn out to be. Honestly it took me sometime to get accustomed to Roy's narration but once I picked it up fell in love with his modulation and narration.

great but ridiculous price.
unless you're stupidly rich, buy this with audible credits. it's a good book but not worth the cost.
