LOL at your last sentence. There are a lot of people who are upset because the GoT series hasn't followed the books in the way that they would have liked. There have been arguments about it right here on F!S.

Also: the books are actually not attractive to most mainstream readers. They're dark and depressing and the minute you start to get attached to a character, GRRM kills him/her off. He also takes 5 to 6 years to write each one (and there are a lot of people who've given up on the series as a result of that). He's lucky it got picked up for TV, because otherwise, that's an absolutely terrible way to make money.

So, once upon a time, I worked at a bookstore, and ASOFAI was consistently on the bestseller list and sold out when new ones were released.

People like books with conflict where there's a real threat that the characters might not survive. It got a TV deal because it was popular.

I'd say he did a pretty damned good job at creating a cash cow franchise.
