Am I the only one who loathed that book and has no interest in the series?

[quote=""Madeleine""]I've seen the TV tie-in version of the book here, so I assume the series will be shown at some point![/quote]
I haven't seen any trailers for it, but I'd better dig my copy of the book out and try to read it. With that and G R R Martin's A Storm of Swords to read before the TV series, I will be kept busy!!

I've never read the books because watching the mini-series of Pillars totally turned me off to reading. Still, it's something historical my husband is willing to watch with me so I'll sit through it anyday of the week.
So my sweetheart offered to buy me any book I wanted at B&N last night. Don't you know that I couldn't decide so I got the BBC History magazine. First time I've been able to find it since April. Really disappointed because the August issue looks very interesting!!
