Sample Response:

This topic excites me. Speaking of the last book I read, it was A Song of Ice and Fire. I’m actually still on the second book. I’m not gonna lie, even though it’s a page-turner, it’s still pretty hard to understand it. But now that the book has been adapted into the amazing HBO show, Game of Thrones, it makes it a lot easier to fully understand the plot and the characters.

A Song of Ice and Fire is a series of epic fantasy novels by the American novelist and screenwriter George R. R. Martin. Unlike many novels, the narrative moves forward relatively slowly. The author really takes his time and does it right: he builds tension and creates a compelling world filled with interesting characters. The storyline is truly addictive to the point where I just couldn’t put the book down for a second.

It's shocking how characters that the readers idolize or respect instead tend to lose out or die. Meanwhile those we think of as villains originally become much more gray, eventually taking on goals that bring them into the role of heroes in their own right. Initially, you'll have a problem remembering their names. But the characters are very realistic and believable, each with their own flaws. You actually get attached to these characters and start caring for them. 

There’s so much to love about this series of books, the unpredictable storyline, the realistic and charming characters, and the exceptional effects and the imagination that fills up my mind. I just love it all.
