I had to watch the movies and listen to the audio book before I came to like the series and give the book a chance again. If you really want to be exposed to the series because it's famous and whatnot, I HIGHLY recommend checking the audio books out at the library. The voice actor is superb and makes even the boring bits sound interesting, imho. 
(And if you don't want to get familiar with them, that's fine too -- just throwing it out as an alternative option for people who found the book boring 'cause I sympathize.  ) |
You know I never even thought of trying the audio book
I really wanted to like this book. Even after the painfully slow process of working my way through the first book, I considered trying the second. I've learned over the years that not EVERY book in a series is bad just because ONE of them sucked (for me anyway).
I might try the audio book first, thanks! Karma coming your way
