And they are wrong on every count. Only averagely tall, slender, and god-awful with a sword, Locke Lamora is the fabled Thorn, and the greatest weapons at his disposal are his wit and cunning.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

Description
Now the acclaimed TV series Game of Thrones - the masterpiece that became a cultural phenomenon
Winter is coming. Such is the stern motto of House Stark, the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off King's Landing. There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert's name. There his family dwells in peace and comfort: his proud wife, Catelyn; his sons Robb, Brandon, and Rickon; his daughters Sansa and Arya; and his bastard son, Jon Snow. Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse - unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season. Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances. Now Robert is riding north to Winterfell, bringing his queen, the lovely but cold Cersei, his son, the cruel, vainglorious Prince Joffrey, and the queen's brothers Jaime and Tyrion of the powerful and wealthy House Lannister - the first a swordsman without equal, the second a dwarf whose stunted stature belies a brilliant mind.
All are heading for Winterfell and a fateful encounter that will change the course of kingdoms. Meanwhile, across the Narrow Sea, Prince Viserys, heir of the fallen House Targaryen, which once ruled all of Westeros, schemes to reclaim the throne with an army of barbarian Dothraki - whose loyalty he will purchase in the only coin left to him: his beautiful yet innocent sister, Daenerys.
Commentaires
"Martin's trophy case is already stuffed with major prizes...He's probably going to have to add another shelf, at least." (Publishers Weekly)
"The first volume in Martin's first fantasy saga combines intrigue, action, romance, and mystery in a family saga." (Booklist)
"Grabs hold and won't let go. It's brilliant." (Robert Jordan)
"This novel is an absorbing combination of the mythic, the sweepingly historical, and the intensely personal." (Chicago Sun-Times)

Good book but the narrator doesn't do it justice
I already read all the ASOIAF books both in French and English, and I have to say I was looking forward to trying the audiobook version after enjoying the audiobooks for LOTR, but the narrator in this title, despite being a good narrator... just doesn't do justice to the dark cold vibe that this story is all about. It feels too much like we are being read a generic heroic fantasy story while ASOIAF is everything but that.

Everybody is apparently a chain smoking old man.
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes. Very much enjoying the whole story. Even tho i have seen GoT on HBO its more interesting to hear the whole story.
Would you be willing to try another one of Roy Dotrice’s performances?
Probably not. Roy is a good narrator to some extent but he is no Jim Dale. His character voices all sound like 3 Pack a day Camel Unfiltered smokers.

Review of First 5 Books
I understand that there are to be 7 books in this series, but as of this writing there are only 5. I listened to them all, one right after the other, so it is difficult for me to review them separately. Besides, I think anyone new to the series should know what they're getting into right up front. However, there are no spoilers here.
I'm going to use the word "read" instead of "listen" because it's all the same to me and "read" is shorter.
My sons, both of them "men grown," have been nagging me for at least two years to read these books. Recently, they both accosted me about it from different parts of the country on my birthday, so I grudgingly agreed to try the first book. I have now read them all, as I said. My sons have been disinherited several times during the reading process. They had better hope that the last two books come out before I die.
I have read a number of reviews comparing Martin to Tolkien. This might be true if Tolkien had been a warped, sadistic bastard who enjoyed tormenting his readers. During the course of reading these books, I have called Martin everything but a good guy. Lucifer, Beelzebub, and Spawn of Satan top the list, along with accompanying adjectives. But I read all the books and am biting my nails waiting for the next one. True to his nature, however, Martin is making no promises about when that will be. Judging from the spacing of these first 5 books, I may have no fingers left by the time book 6 hits the presses. (This would help me relate better to some of his characters, I guess.)
So, for those of you who have not yet begun this series: If you are very squeamish, you'd better not start. There is a lot of torture, violence, explicit sex, and explicit violent sex. Even worse, there's some really bad language.
It is set in a world that seems to be based on Medieval England, but is not England nor any other place on this earth. The number of characters and story lines that are converging on each other seems daunting at first glance, but I was surprised at how easily I could keep the major ones straight in my head.
There are some characters that you will love and others that you will love to hate, and still others that you will hate to love. Some of them you will hate and then come to love or pity, and the other way around, too. Some of them, mostly Tyrion Lannister, are very witty and humorous no matter what the situation, so that provides a little relief sometimes. Some of them you will forget about entirely, as a whole book might go by before they pop up again.
If you like to feel safe and secure when reading a book, this series is not for you. Nothing is sacred, no one is safe. Bad things happen to good people, and vice versa. If I had been reading a paper book, I would have a lot of holes in my walls from repeatedly throwing the books against them. However, reading them has given me plenty of practice climbing the walls. (Unfortunately, as a woman, I would still not be able to become a Black Brother.) No one is happy in any of the seven kingdoms. The only joy comes from vengeance or, more rarely, justice. I hate books like that! But I read all the books and am biting my nails waiting for the next one.
I have given the series 5 stars because I could not stop reading once I had started, no matter how angry it made me. I would never have read these books if my sons had not hounded me into it. But wait--no--I have no sons. That was that other woman who lived before she embarked on the torturous journey that is Game of Thrones.

Entertaining story, narrating not so much
Highly recommend this book if you enjoy the television series. There are some differences, but the history is richer in the novel(s) and I found it easier to follow. However, Mr. Dotrice's narration leaves a lot to be desired. His voice is harsh and gruff, which doesn't lend itself to a plethora of various characters (I found the voice of Tywin especially obnoxious - forcibly pompous, uttering 2 or 3 words between lengthy pauses and breaths, like the worst caricature of a fat old British member of parliament). His interpretation of the pronounciation of the characters' names was inconsistent - "Joffrey" became "Jeffrey" at one point, "Hodor" was used interchangeably with "Hodar," and the Stark matriarch was sometimes "Catt-lin" and other times "Cait-lin," just to name a few. Narration of dialogue in a character's voice sometimes carries over into non-dialogue parts (i.e. reading "...said Arya" in Arya's voice). I found myself actually surprised this recording was given the thumbs-up for release, especially for a story so wildly popular as this one. The narration almost ruins the book for me. I so wished for a different narrator for the remainder of the series, but alas - if you want to experience Game of Thrones on audiobook, this is what you're stuck with.

Audible, PLEASE re-record series w/ new narrator!!
Game of Thrones is an excellently written series, and the books should be recorded with a narrator who does it justice. Roy Dotrice is an absolute legend and his speaking voice is excellent, however he fails to be a good fit for this series. I got through the first two books and gave up somewhere around the third GOT book ,solely because of the narration. All the characters sound like old men, even the ones in their 30s and 40s. Many of the voices have that wet, mealy-mouthed, too much saliva in my throat sound and it is SO distracting. Drogo sounds like a poor imitation of a cholo gangbanger. I understand the narrator was elderly when he recorded this, but when he attempts to give the characters voices it is just awful and cheesy. Hopefully audible will listen to the countless complaints about this series and invest in re-recording the GOT books with a new and superior narrator. May I suggest Ray Porter? He would do a stupendous job with this material and finally the series would get a talented voice to match the quality of the writing. For now, with the current narrator I can't recommend this purchase unless you truly don't mind bad narration and it won't bother you.

Ruined by horrible narrator
EVERY character is made to sound like a drunken goblin, old woman, or caricature of the author’s vision. Women are given a falsetto voice. The result is that serious scenes are portrayed as comedies. There is no difference of intensity from scene to scene. It’s awful. I was looking forward to listening the entire series, but I’m stopping after the first book.

How many ways can one man pronounce Catelyn?
Would you consider the audio edition of A Game of Thrones to be better than the print version?
Absolutely not. Somebody should have given Mr. Dotrice a style sheet or pronunciation key. And perhaps also reminded him that very few of the characters are grizzled old men.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Roy Dotrice?
Anybody.
Any additional comments?
I read and enjoyed this book so long ago, I thought it would be a nice refresher to listen. The narration is painfully slow and Mr. Dotrice's inconsistent pronunciation of names and places is maddening. There are so many characters to keep track of in these books, but listening to this might leave you thinking there are three times as many!
I also hated his creepy Varys voice and daft-sounding Tyrion.

Terrible narrator ruins a great book
What didn’t you like about Roy Dotrice’s performance?
Dotrice makes a slew of mistakes and errors that should have been caught with editing and multiple takes. Not only does he occasionally trip over lines, but he doesn't seem to know how to pronounce a single name in this entire book. It's incredibly jarring to listen to Brian and P-tire and Sancha. Not only that, but his voices are frequently distracting. Aftere being spoilt for talent in the show, the caricature voices are either too difficult to understand, like Varys slurring his words disgustingly, or downright insulting, as with the strange Warwick Davis impression he seems to be doing for Tyrion.
I sincerely hope to find other narrators for the subsequent books, because I have no intention of continuing this series with Dotrice narrating.

The Narrator Roy Dotrice was an awful choice.
Is there anything you would change about this book?
I think the narrator Roy Dotrice is a poor choice, literally anyone else would have been better. Roy could not pronounce even the simplest names (really, who cant pronounce Peter?) Was he not coached on names? Was the Narrator completely clueless about this book when he was cast? Other books I have listened to the narrators at least try to do different voices, Roy isn't even trying. His voice does not suit the book at all. Roy sounds like he is choking on phlegm when he laughs. It was super off putting when he pronounced names wrong and when he grossly laughs. Its super cringe worthy. With a book and show as popular as this, I would have thought the audio book would have been 1000x better.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Roy Dotrice?
Literally anyone one else. He was awful.

Terrible editing, though...
Great story and fantastic narration. I have nothing to add on that front.
About the quality, however...once an hour a sentence repeated itself. I'm assuming they recorded from a CD where the last sentence of a disc is repeated as the first sentence of the next disc. Also, the last 40 minutes of Audible's Part 3 were repeated at the beginning of Part 4. Not at all on par with Audible's usual quality...surprising and disappointing that they would let one of their best sellers go out in this condition.

Why oh why was this guy chosen for the narrator?
Love, love, looooooove this series but good lord-this guy's terrible. I don't understand all the people that like his performance?! His range is horrible. He uses ever so slight variations on the same 2 voices over and over, sometimes inconsistently changing his voice for various parts. His only saving grace, for me, is I recognize he has a nice voice but he would have been better off not trying to change his voice at all and just doing straight reading. Michael Kramer would have been brilliant narrating this series.

Einfach unglaublich gut!
Eine großartige Geschichte, die alles mitbringt, was ein wirklich fesselnder Fantasy Roman braucht. Könige, Verschwörungen, Ritter, Intrigen, Diawolves (riesige Wölfe), lebendige Tote und am Ende auch Drachen.Obwohl die Geschichte zu jedem Punkt spannend ist, kann man dank der Kapiteleinteilung doch zwischendrin wieder einen Punkt zum Aufhören finden - Ansonsten hätte ich wohl eine Woche Urlaub nehmen müssen.Ich habe selten einen Autor erlebt, der sich so viel Zeit nimmt, jeden wichtigen Charakter so umfassend darzustellen, dass man mit ihm mitfühlen und mitfiebern kann. Und der Erzähler schafft eine großartige Stimmung indem er jedem Charakter seine ganz eigene und unverkennbare Stimme verleiht. Dabei nuschelt und näselt er auch gern, was in großartiger Weise die Wesenszüge unterstreicht, aber ein sehr gutes englisches Hörverständnis erfordert.Jedenfalls eines der besten Bücher seit langem, meiner Ansicht nach sogar besser als Eragon.

Mittelalterliches Intrigenspiel
Aufgrund der Vielzahl der Personen, Handlungsstränge und Erzählperspektiven ist es zu empfehlen die ersten zwei Stunden am Stück zu hören, oder sich Namen und Stichworte zu Beginn aufzuschreiben, um zu große Verwirrung zu vermeiden. Sehr gelungen ist die Idee die Kapitel jeweils mit dem Namen der handelnden Person zu überschreiben. Mit fortschreitender Handlung schafft es der Autor jedoch brilliant den Leser mit wenigen Worten wieder auf die Gefühlswelt und Charaktereigenschaften der aktuellen Person einzustimmen. Durch die wechselnde Erzählperspektive wird schwarz-weiß-Malerei weitgehend vermieden, man versteht stets, warum die Personen auf ihre Weise handeln.
Abgesehen von gewissen fantastischen Lebewesen, die in Nebenrollen auftreten, handelt es sich bei diesem ersten Buch weniger um einen Fantasyroman, als um einen mittelalterlichen Machtkampf zwischen mehreren Adelsfamilien in einem von mehreren Seiten andeutungsweise bedrohten Königreich. Eine Karte der Welt direkt auf der audible-homepage wäre noch eine sinnvolle Ergänzung zu dem Hörbuch, sie lässt sich aber auch ohne großen Aufwand im Netz finden.
Diese englische Ausgabe, die auch für nicht Muttersprachler gut verständlich und gut gelesen ist, hat den großen Vorteil, dass nicht wie in der deutschen Fassung zwei Bücher gekauft werden müssen, um das ganze erste Buch in Händen zu halten.
Fazit: spannender Mittelalteroman mit Fantasyelementen und brilliant gezeichneten, lebendigen Charakteren, die man schnell liebgewinnt. Gelungener, wenn auch etwas zu lang geratener Einstieg in eine Welt, in der noch viel passieren wird.

Sprecher schlecht bei Dialogszenen
Halten Sie die Hörbuch-Ausgabe von A Game of Thrones für besser als das Buch?
Wenn es ein Buch ohne Dialoge wäre, wäre der Sprecher gut bis sehr gut zu bewerten.
Aber so? Die Stimmen der Personen, deren Charakter er eine "eigene" Stimme verleihen möchte, sind gruselig.
So hören sich fast ausnahmslos alle Frauen wie Krähen an, aber auch bei Männern bekommt er es nicht hin. Dadurch wirken viele Personen komisch bis unsympathisch.
Das ist das einzige was ich bei allen Folgen dieser Serie zu bemängeln habe.
Wie hat der Erzähler das Buch beeinflusst?
Negativ, durch schleche Intonierung der Personen.

anfangs etwas schwierig
Zu Beginn des Hörbuchs war ich froh, dass mir die Handlung schon aus der TV-Serie im deutschen Free-TV bekannt war. Roy Dotrice liest derartig vielseitig, nicht nur in unterschiedlichen Stimmlagen (zum Glück ohne die weiblichen Stimmen übertrieben "weiblich" zu sprechen), sondern auch in unterschiedlichen Dialekten, dass ich es in der ersten Zeit schwierig fand, der Handlung zu folgen. Sobald ich mich allerdings eine Weile "eingehört" hatte, war ich völlig begeistert, sowohl von der Handlung des Buches als auch von der Hörbuchausgabe.

Story gut aber Sprecher nicht mein Fall
Würden Sie gern ein anderes Hörbuch von George R. R. Martin und/oder Roy Dotrice ausprobieren?
Ich finde die Game of Thrones Bücher klasse. Und mit englisch habe ich überhaupt kein Problem. Der Sprecher spricht auch sehr deutlich und gut akzentuiert. Er versteht es den verschiedenen Charakteren Leben einzhauchen. Allerdings finde ich ihn oft ein wenig too much in jeder hinsicht. Er überspielt und das finde ich unsyphatisch.
Welche Figur hat Ihnen am besten gefallen? Warum?
Kann ich nicht genau sagen, da es so viele sind. Ich mag es wie der Sprecher Catelyn spricht. Sehr ruhig und trotzdem nicht langweilig.

Die Geschichte nimmt Fahrt auf
Ich habe mir "A Game of Thrones" auf Englisch angehört. Teils, weil ich mein Sprachtalent fördern wollte, teils, weil ich neugierig war.Am Anfang fand ich Geschichte und Erzähler schwierig und hatte mir schon überlegt, dass dies wohl ein Fehlkauf gewesen ist. Weit gefehlt! Die Geschichte ist absolut spannend und in ihrer Tiefe sehr überzeugend. Ich höre das Hörbuch bei langen Autofahrten und ich bin seit dem froh, dass ich täglich über 2 Stunden im Fahrzeug verbringe.Ich kann Hörern, die die Tafelrunde, Herr der Ringe, Star Wars und ähnliches lieben, empfehlen. Ich bin schon verrückt auf die weiteren Teile!

If this isn't Epic Fantasy, what is?
Martin tosses the listener into a world as full of life as our own.We meet the characters in a time of peace, but not long after we join them chaos unfolds...The story is told from a multitude of perspectives, making it hard to determine who is villain and who is hero, or if there are any of them at all. The reading by Roy Dotrice is superbly fitted to the style of the stories and he gives each character it's own voice making it easy to determine who is speaking without being told.I do not know wether the German audioversion is good or not, but it will have a very hard time surpassing this one.

Spannend und gut um Englisch zu trainieren
Was wäre für andere Hörer sonst noch hilfreich zu wissen, um das Hörbuch richtig einschätzen zu können?
Ich fahre beruflich sehr viel Auto und höre daher Hörbücher um nicht einzuschlafen und damit die Zeit nicht sinnlos verstreicht.
Der Sprecher hat prinzipiell eine sehr gute Aussprache und bringt die Dramaturgie wirklich gut rüber. Nur bei einigen Charakteren übertreibt er es mit dem Nuscheln dermassen extrem, so dass ich als non-native Speaker dann doch an meine Grenzen stosse - wobei ich das vermutlich auf deutsch dann aber auch nicht verstanden hätte. Dafür ein Punkt Abzug von ansonsten voller Punktzahl
Die erste "CD" habe ich nach etwa zwei Stunden abgebrochen, ich konnte mich einfach nicht in die zuerst sinnlose Aneinanderreihung von Häusern und Geschichten anfreunden. Erst ein halbes Jahr später habe ich mich dann gezwungen es noch mal zu probieren.
Einen Abzug in der Gesamtwertung gibt es, weil kein Booklet / pdf beigefügt ist mit einer Übersicht der Charaktere und Häuser und einer Weltkarte. Wozu habe ich eine Audible-App, wenn ich dann im Internet recherchieren muss um überhaupt der Geschichte folgen zu können?
Und einen Punkt Abzug gibt es in der Geschichte, weil ich wirklich erst nach mehreren Stunden Hörens angefangen habe, die Geschichten wirklich spannend zu finden
Wenn mir nicht Freunde so von dem Zyklus vorgeschwärmt hätten, dann hätte ich sicher aufgegeben

Great story but to much "breast"
This book really immerses you in the story which I loved. Unfortunately it is one of those books where it is clearly written by a straight man: the word "breast" is mentioned what feel like every 5 sentences (especially in scenes involving women). I also really disliked the description of sex scenes with 13 year old girls, I don't think making the character this young has any purpose for the story. Also, note to all men: a women's nipples don't get hard when when she is horny, nipple boners aren't real.
