Here some information on a book from the NewYork Times best seller list.

I'm about to type about a book callled Game of Thrones. A man who is a friend of the author said that it was terrific and thanks because a friend gave it to him.Now here is some more information on Game of Thrones.


 Game of Thrones is filled with seven kingdoms worth of feuding feudal families, complex genealogies, deceptions and betrayals, dragons and mysterious, violent creatures called the Others. Bantam books said that there are more than 4.5million copies of his book. Naturally he takes satisfaction that some,15 years after spurning the entertainment industry for its lack of imagination. A Game of Thrones television series is now days away from debut. As the author Mr. Martin put it , “The project that I thought most unlikely to ever be filmed — the project that was actually unfilmable — is now going to be this big show on HBO. One of the first men to read this book thought that it would be impossible to make and evidently he was wrong. Not only did they make it, it also made on the NewYork Times best sellers list and has been made into a tv show.

Game of Thrones whose first episode will be on next Sunday, is not only a prominent opportunity for Mr. Martin's work to be introduced to a wider audience. But also a bold rejoinder to its creator's skepticism. It is also a crucial and potentially costly test for HBO.
