Games of Thrones

I've just read Games of Thrones.
What you are think about this book and writer G.G Martin ?
Could you recommend me some kind of low fantasy books or novel ?
I like, when the plog it's dynamic and full of heros and intriques.

Game of Thrones was an excellent book and I'm in the process of reading the rest of them. I would recommend The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan and the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind. I also recommend anything by Terry Pratchett and obviously, if you havn't read it already, the Grandaddy of them all... Lord of the Rings :)

brilliant

I watched the series eagerly but was unsure whether the books would be interesting at all. But I bought the first one and I must say, that he is a fine writer! really catchy and sometimes very clever :) And I like the fact that none of the characters are pure goodness and that everyone is plotting against everyone. And the fact that they are just killed to the left and right - you lose ground under your feet, but in a cool way :)

Good Books

You've already been given some good suggestions. I have one more. Anything by Tad Williams but especially Otherworld Series and Memory, Sorrow and Thorn series. Enjoy.

Ive read all the books from "song of ice and fire" series except the last one (but ive waited for 6 years, so i guess another few months wont hurt).

Martin is an impressive writer, but i just hope he finishes the series before he dies.. lol

He is quite exceptional and coherent as well, considering the topics he covers. He has sense for both drama,
fiction and reality - thus making his characters incredible, yet real, at the same time.

If you like such fiction, you might consider reading Guy Kay, or Tad Williams as well. Andrzej Sapkowski offers
a very interesting style too - but not as dark as i expected (based on the online reviews..), to be honest.
