Game of Thrones autor fears fans will be upset

Game Of Thrones author George R. R. Martin has revealed that he expects some fans to be upset with HBO's upcoming adaptation of the show.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Martin explained that most devotees of his A Song Of Ice and Fire books will be pleased with the series.

"I think 95% of them are going to love the show," he said. "I do think there will be a small minority who will be very upset by changes. 'How come my favourite scene wasn't in the show?' 'How come this character's hair is blond and not black?' But they will be a small minority."

Martin also revealed that he is looking forward to finding out whether people who have not read the books will enjoy the series.

"I have millions of fans, but there are many, many more millions who watch HBO, who watch television, who don't read fantasy, and certainly haven't read my books," he said. "That's what we're looking forward to, hoping we please that whole new audience. There's a tremendous amount of excitement. Every time HBO releases a new piece of information or photograph, the blogs explode with excitement."

Martin has previously described HBO's adaptation of his novels as "spectacular".

Game Of Thrones begins on April 17 on HBO in the US and on April 18 on Sky Atlantic in the UK.

Being a vampire is not what it seems like. It’s a life full of good, and amazing things. We are as human as you are.. It’s not what you are that counts, but how you choose to be. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the vampires creed today via email: Richvampirekindom@gmail.com
