No you don't.....trust me
Great books to read...but they would not make for good tv if stretched out
Listening to the IGN TV podcast from 2 weeks ago, they mentioned thatshyt would be terrible TV nikkas dont understand
a bunch of characters are sidelined in book 4 (& brought back in Book 5) and a bunch of new characters are introduced in their place. They also mentioned that the focus is taken away from King's Landing & the focus is taken to a new place. I'm guessing it's either Braavos or Dorne
Either way, I'd still like to see it played out on TV, if it means giving George R.R. Martin enough time to write book 6.
