He just doesn't do it well.

While I tend to be sympathetic to that opinion, I know from reading other forums of other readers who found it highly captivating as it is.*shrug*
In reading some of the reviews for last night's episode, one of them mentioned something that I really agree with. The scene where Littlefinger and Cersei trade barbs about power. It didn't happen in the book and I would think Littlefinger would be much more veiled than to threaten Cersei like that. I'm not exactly sure why that scene was added.
