"For anyone yet to read Martin's novels, the book is a godsend. For
all its epic brilliance, Game Of Thrones' multiple complex story
threads can leave you befuddled, but thanks to profiles of the
major characters, family trees and more, you soon know how to tell
a Greyjoy from a Tyrell. The book's also a solid 'Making Of'.
Author Bryan Cogman (a story editor on the series) has interviewed
the show's key creative forces, and between them they reveal the
attention to detail that's gone into realising the Seven Kingdoms.
Particular focus is given to pivotal scenes like the storming of
King's Landing, and it's here - when things get properly geeky -
that the book's at its best."

"For the most part, people who watch and adore HBO's adaptation of
author George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones saga (released in book
form via the A Song of Fire and Ice series) do so largely, though
still pleasantly, in the dark. Give any random viewer a pop quiz
with questions about which character belongs to which family, and
how to spell characters' names, and the grades would be sub-par at
best. Thankfully, the dense story lines are much easier to sift
through and grasp thanks to Inside HBO's Game of Thrones. Combining
in-depth cast and crew interviews with Martin's own insight, it's
192 pages of Westeros overload, perfect for a few months of
catching up and/or refreshing before the show returns for its third
season"
