Question for true Game of Thrones fan (person who read all books so far and is watching the show)

"clicked enter by accident. Editing atm. check back in 2 minutes" laughed way too hard at this xD

The TV series is not in total order with the books. They do some mix ups and add things that don' exist in the books. The only drawback is that when she will read the books the scenes of the series will come to her mind and won't let her make her own Game of Thrones world in her head. At least that's what happened to me. Im not a book nerd (working on it though) so I can't say for sure which is better. For her as you describe her, well I don't think she ll watch the series again :P

Books are much more detailed. Also TV shows need to take shortcuts, drop many minor plot fragments, characters, don't realy tell you much about world lore and history - so yeah - there's much in the books even if she's seen the show already. Martin may not have the greatest writing style, but his characters and plot creation skills are top notch, so if she's into books and show as well it's a great idea to give her these books ;)

A very good idea if she's loves the TV series. It may be taken as a deeper look behind everything that has happened in the series because the books directly follow the characters point of view. The characters motivations and actions are far more fleshed out in the books.

Furthermore, the series has begun to diverge more and more from the books so she is most certainly in for more than a couple of surprises if she reads the books and still remembers how it played out in the series.

The books are really great, man. I, for one, first knew of GoT from the TV series, then due to super hard-on for the contents I bought all of the books in one go. I had to say that decision transformed me from a non-reader to a massive book nerd. I am now a beautiful butterfly, flapping my majestic wings, roaming above flower gardens, oblivious to the passing of day. Anyway, the books are much much more detailed and it's not boring at all, it got me into reading novels ffs! Sorry for grammar mistakes and please do correct me, if any of you guys/gals spot any.

Sweet, thank you all for approving my idea! You guys / girls helped a lot ! :)

are the books different than the show
yes.

and would reading them be boring
first three to four, no.

Absolutely read the books.

A lot of people already answered but I think it's worth to repeat:
Get her the books!
Totally worth it!
I'm pretty sure she will like reading them. And yes, I'm keeping in mind she's already watching the show.
Go for it.

Get her the books m8 i still need to read the last one but it's totally worth it, it's much better than the show.

The books would be a great gift especially since she enjoys reading!

Dont think about the diffrences between books and series. She will like the idea, that you thought about what you can buy for her and you will see her reaction when she read them. She will be suprised! Its way better than most of the presents she will get :D

Reading the books gives new depths of meaning to the quote "You know nothing Jon Snow."

Game of throne is totally a Porn movie -_-

Everyone has summed it up quite aptly, book going on the detail and show going on to save time. So just one more thing to consider - the books provide you an great view into the feelings, emotions of the character. That explains a lot, much more than the TV does. For eg, The TV show didn't even introduce Theon Greyjoy properly

The books are full of demons (details, more awesome characters that u won't know in the series, more indept story) ... the series is 10 times simplified ...

If she likes books she will love GOT books.

I read the books, those that were published, before the series started.
Like midnighshooter said: "The only drawback is that when she will read the books the scenes of the series will come to her mind and won't let her make her own Game of Thrones world in her head."
I'm currently reading the last published book and all characters in my head look like the ones in the series.
In the books for instance Tyrion is way more disfigured then he is in the series. Also, I didnt like the guy at all in the books but in the series he's my most lovable person. Shit like that happens when you read the books and watch the show.
Also, when she's read all the books there will be no surprises left. I knew the red wedding was coming, the fun thing is I didnt watch the scene but just looked at my wife's face ;)
If she likes this kind of books I'd recommend it though. It gives way more detail and background

Well if she loves GoT and she's a book nerd, the answer's obvious. Get the books!
