I need spoilers!

[essayel]

I've started reading "A Song of Ice and Fire", am about 150 pages into the first book, and I am a bit worried. Is this book like Vanity Fair - one with no heroes? Because I haven't found a single character I can warm to yet. Yes, I know it's horribly childish and shallow of me but I need at least one person I can like and respect in order to enjoy a story properly.

Is there ANYONE?
