I know it would be impossible to fit all the book plot into the show. But, it will be interesting to see the books story eventually.
I do not think the books will ever be completed. I have to say I think the HBO production is better than the books anyway.
As to be expected, I found the descriptions and of course details to be far more extensive in the first (and only) book I read versus the TV series, minor minutia that's left out of the TV series but really enhances the flavor of the series. However, I felt the story as a whole was a bit dull and there were so many damn names to memorize... it has not been my favorite book series, so I agree the TV series is definitely more exciting on that front.
