Me too; I found Cersei to be this whiny, utter asshole in the books once we got her POV chapters. Her chapters started to read like WEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHH I WANTED TO BE THE QUEEEEE-EEEEENNN WEEEEHHHHHHHH I WANTED A POOOOOOOONYYYYYYYYYY etc. It made me sympathize with her LESS (while Jaime's POV chapters turned him into a complete woobie ... hmm).
In the show, I feel like Lena Headey gives a gravity and a genuine pain to the character, while still having moments of thinking she's smarter than she is. In the books all the same facts are there about her adultery and terrible marriage, and Robert's many infidelities, but there is a better sense of the regret and sorrows of both characters.
