Bloody well if only! Martin's got a way with messing with his characters and putting them in unexpected situations, though, and there are still two books left to go (providing that ols fart doesn't pull the greatest stunt of all and bleeding die on us) so i'm not throwing this ship out the door just yet. After all, Robb married for love...what's to say his little sister won't wind up in a situation where she has to do the same? And we all know she really does have a soft spot for the only Clegane worth knowing...*smiles at the possibilities*
I haven't read the books, want to but can't afford them lol, but can I ask, is Sandor meant to be (despite his scars) good looking in the books, because knowing that he and Sansa have a thing I really don't like who they casted in the programme?
Not really, no. I mean, the way he's described he'd probably be an average looking guy with a great bod if you're into the bigger types (that's why I always cringe a little when I see him depicted as a thinner/smaller dude - he's actually the one people in the books compare other people with to say just how BIG they are), but his scars in book canon look much MUCH worse. So much that he starts off as downright scary to Sansa. They played it down a little in the show.
(btw, strictly speaking, they interact incanon but they don't really have "a thing", that's fan speculation )
Ah, I thought it was actually something that happened in the books. Ah well, it would have been kinda cute. So, how good are the books? Like compare them to another series, if you can lol.
Hmmm, I dunno, I like the books a lot? They're not high literature but they're still more complex than the tv series, especially in the characterizations. I... don't really have a term of comparison because I don't read much fantasy besides ASoIaF, actually! The closest thing I can think of is the manga Berserk.
