Wrong.
She's about 4x as evil.
The show made her seem docile and nice.

I'd say she's worse in the book because there aren't any POV characters that would be the least sympathetic to her. At least in the show we got that terrific scene (maybe ep 4?) with her and Robert talking about their marriage as the only thing holding the realm together, and the scene in ep 2 where she tells Catelyn about her stillbirth.

In the book she's usually described wearing a gold spiked dildo. For serious.

Last episode to be aired in about 4 and 1/4 hours here in UK/Ireland... Can't wait! This has to have been the best translation of a book to a tv series yet!

Fair. Bit of speculation, there.

Damn I must've missed that chapter in between all the midget porn.

Which surprisingly enough is easier to watch than to read. Not something I thought I would be discussing but there it is. :D

I went through a Feast of Crows again, and I'm not sure what to think. It was the most disappointing book so far. No Jon, Daenerys, Tyrion...

I'll be getting the next book, but it might be a deal breaker if it just trundles along and doesn't do anything with the overall plot.

I didn't hate Feast that much. It was a slower pace, and it didn't have as many world-changing events, but even without Jon, Tyrion and Daenerys it still has some interesting characters.

Maybe not as good, especially since Storm of Swords had incredible pace and events, but I didn't find it disappointing.
Spoiler
Sansa's, Arya's and Martell's and Jaime's arc had an interesting conclusion

I really liked the Jaime story in Storm of Swords, and Arya was great in Feast of Crows. With Sansa, I have hope that she'll become interesting, but up till now she's a pawn for smarter players. It'd be awesome if she became a kind of littlefinger figure, but she started off as annoying, and she's developed into slightly less annoying.
