But I love the books...the tv show is really good (first season vs first book) for the visuals and the acting, but the books are way more in depth.  Instead of just hearing what someone says for a sentence, you get to hear a whole paragraph of what they're also thinking about the subject as well.

I'm half way through a feast of crows and it's a joy picking up these books every time I go to read them.

That's exactly why. Hollywood (insert any greedy movie mass production plant here) rapes the source material and makes it different at best, or an unrecognizable mess at worst.

The Hobbit is a book for kids about a little guy with hairy feet going on an adventure. Gotta make an EPIC SAGA and stretch it for three movies too.

Bottom line: okay movies seem terrible after reading great books they're based upon.

It's all about profit. No Hollywood adaptation is complete without the annoying love story, and overexaggerating certain things, leaving lots of
detail out, or totally changing it.

This applies regardless of the source material. If it sells better, they'll do it.

What ruined the hobbit for me was the dwarves, Thorin in particular doesn't look at all like he's described in the books. Seriosuly, the first time I saw the trailer I tought some comedian actor had hacked himself into Thorin's role...
