The books are great! Read them!
Although they are all a very long read. There's a lot of detail (a lot not so important) so they each take longer than some other books. Book 3 is almost 1,000 pages long.
The books are so much more about the world than the show is. There's a lot more detail and history that is lost as it goes into a different media. You can't just stop in the middle of a show to describe events that happened 300 years prior, unless it ties directly with the main plot(s).
Anyhow, I'm at book 3 so far, and I was so PISSED. The good pissed you get when you are engrossed into the story and something happens that you didn't want to. It happens A LOT with a song of Ice and Fire.
