Haven't seen GoT, but read the books. The woman I was dating just before the series came out had a couple of them, so I read those and bought the rest. I think GRRM decided he thought he'd be clever and unpredictable by doing things contrary to most story telling (i.e., killing off all the people most readers want to live), but after the first two or three deaths, he became predictable - he was too clever by half.Yep you are correct - there is a world of difference between the books and the movies -- same thing with withe GOT
He also seemed to find favorite phrases to overuse in each book.
Overall, I enjoyed the books, but I suspect we may never get the series finale in written form, and if we do, it will be an edited together bit of dreck derived from the scripts for the portions of the TV series that went beyond the books already published.
