wiseheart: There's depressing and there's depressing. Ursula K Le Guin is depressing, but she writes amazing stuff, so I like her books nevertheless. Martin's book, however, is confusing, in parts deadly boring and not very well written, IMO? although the rest of the planet's population seems to be disagreeing with me.
oh, and it's depressing like hell, too.
The TV version is slightly less boring, but with way too much gratutious nudity. I only watched it because of Sean Bean, but since he got killed off I saw no reason to punish myself after that.
