Yet "all men must die" is what the episode is called.

There are only three characters in the books (and I assume the series will showcase this as well) that know how to play the game of thrones.

There's only one character who will win, in the end. My money's on Varys. The Game of Thrones has many pawns, and only one real King.
Or maybe, the twist is 'the only winning move is not to play'!

That's an odd limit.

Sometimes a story is good enough that it warrants the extra attention span required to read beyond 500 pages. Game of Thrones is one, in my opinion.
Maybe you should try the books before deciding that you could never read something beyond an arbitrary limit.

The TV show and the books are different from each other. In the books Ros (sweet Ros) doesn't exist and other characters are alive that get killed in the TV show.
They tried very hard in the first season to do it by the book. But the result was rather lackluster (not that season 1 was bad, but it did ruin the flow at times). So they decided - with approval from George R.R. Martin to be more 'relaxed' in terms of following the story. The major events obviously happen as they do in the book. Minor characters may appear different, some are not included and new might be invented. Characters introduced all ready in the second book may not even appear until the first or fourth season, because that's when they begin to matter. Indeed, rather than having too many characters on screen, these characters will likely first appear when they are about to matter for the plot. Which I think is a very good decision. Multiple storylines work great in books, but not so fantastic on film. And season 2 shows they understand this point, because every episode doesn't include every storyline as it did in season 1.

The handmaiden that Dany makes out with in the books was killed in the TV show because her EU work visa ran out.
No need to kill off every character, you can also just make them disappear or not stay relevant to the plot anymore. Imagine if How I Met Your Mother had to kill off every character it no longer needed.
