Having read the first 3 books, and part of the way through the 4th, I was very excited to find out that The Last Kingdom has been made into a TV series by BBC Worldwide/America, and it's due to start next month 
.
There are obvious comparisons with Game of Thrones, what with it including men with swords running around fighting and killing, but it's the story that will hopefully get people hooked. There will also be a lack of breasts and bums, so I'm sure some people won't watch it because of that
. I love Bernard Cornwells style of writing and story telling, the books just pull me along and I struggle to put them down, so I hope the producers have been able to translate this to the TV series and not changed too much. The one thing that does worry me looking at the trailer, is that might just skim over Uhtred's childhood which would be a shame, as that is a massive part of his story, which is the story.
I don't suppose that the production will be quite up with Game of Thrones, but I can live with that so long as the story is as good as it is in the books. Basically, I can't wait for it to start!
