I got the full book set as a Christmas present after having already watched every episode of the series so far...
The books are a hundred times better, but honestly, I'm not sure if they would have held my attention if i didnt have the movies to draw on to keep up with all the hundreds of characters and story lines. shite is pretty complex and i still had to look characters up on my phone every now and then while reading to keep it all straight.
I'm halfway through the second book now and am looking forward to getting into some new territory that the show hasn't covered..
For anybody that has read the books, when does that start happening?

there are a lot of minor plot lines in the books (that could become huge plot lines dependingg on how Martin finishes it). The end of book 3 has some stuff the show hasnt brought up yet that will be a surprise though.
also, a good website to keep tabs on the characters is a song of ice and fire wiki. be careful of spoilers though.

I had already seen the first 3 seasons when I read the books. The first 2 books definitely were slower going but set the story up in a way the shows just can't. The third book for me was the best by far, probably one of my favorite books ever. There's a lot more explanation about things that the show kind of glossed over. They took some shortcuts with the show last season that were somewhat disappointing (still love the show though)
The 4th book isn't the best, but it starts picking up again in book 5. The very end of 3 and book 4 is where new stuff will come in for you. I've re-read the first 3 but am trying to decide whether to go through the 4th one again.
There's also a website that is like a wiki but lets you enter what book you're on and avoids spoilers based on that. Can't remember it off hand but if I find it I'll post it.
ETA: Tower of the Hand. You can put what book/episode you've completed and when you search characters to remember who is who it won't spoil anything.
