George R R Martin, thou art a son of a bitch. Yeah, I'm sure I speak for all GoT fans across the globe. You've created this myriad of characters who we fall for, and who we find despicable. And yet, you come up with these untimely deaths. David Benioff and D.B.Weiss have come up with the most brilliant adaptation for TV. However, they've meandered along the source material, streamlining it for the audience making changes here and there, trying to simplify the complexity of the novels, and still maintaining the shock-value of the original works. Here are 15 big differences between the books and the TV series:

1. Everyone's older on TV. In the books, Daenerys was only 13 when she marries Khal Drogo, Jon Snow is 14 when he goes to the Wall, Bran is 7 when he's pushed off the window.

2. Ros (the prostitute), Talisa (Robb's wife) don't exist in the books. Shae hardly figures in the books as against the TV series.
