IA, but it makes it a little easier to read I think. But coupled with fact that I'm stuck on book 4 now (snooze-fest), I voted 'it's OK'.
It took me forever to get through the beginning of book 2, but IA that it picked up very quickly afterwards, and book 3 was a breeze.
On the HBO show, as Ben Wyatt on Parks and Rec said:

Ben: They would never cancel Game of Thrones. It’s a crossover hit! They’re telling human stories in a fantasy world.

Season 1 was amazing, and it made me pick up the books. But season 2 was rubbish; too much sex for no purpose, like it was just trying to be raunchy.
There was this scene I remember of two girls going at it in the background while Petyr Baelish was talking about... something to... someone. It was a long monologue, and I'm a straight female but I couldn't concentrate on that scene. I had to rewind it and listen without seeing any visuals to understand what was going on.
I still don't really remember what was going on.
