I loved the books, and I think the show is done really well, but sometimes I have a difficult time getting past some of the changes the show makes from the books. I understand when their are necessary changes for production or storytelling reasons or whatever, because the screen just can't do some things in the same ways that books can... but some of these changes are completely unnecessary, in my opinion. I just have to keep telling myself when I watch, "it's not the books, and that's ok!". I still love watching though!
