Loved the first book, was bored to tears by book 4. YMMV.

kind of love Jon. Which now means he is going to die.

I seem to be one of the few people I know who really hated that book. He's a good writer but the story and characters made me so angry that I ended up throwing the book, and it was a book someone had loaned me so I immediately retrieved it and gave it back before I felt the need to throw it again.

Huh. Interesting. I am only one chap in. So far I love Jon snow. See I hated the wheele of time books, wondering if I will feel the sane way with this one. So there was no one you liked?

oh there were plenty of people I liked. They're the people that all the bad stuff happens to;)

Around the same time his deposed prince character 'reached under the rough sackcloth of (his own sister's) shift and cruelly squeezed the tender nipple, causing her to cry out in pain' is about when I hurled the book from me (the second time) in disgust.

it's not so much a fantasy series as documentation of his personal sexual perversions.

Also i tried counting the times he uses the word 'cock.'

There were too many cocks to count.

I would rather hammer a steel bolt into my dick than read one more word of that guy's writing.

sonder December 22 2009, 21:05:18 UTC

Adding, I have read all the books.

It's not worth your time.

Ahh yes so this was the book you were ranting about a while ago. I thought so.

It's definitely a dark fantasy. I got through book two, and just couldn't do book three. The writing's good, but it's so depressing...at the end of every chapter, bad things keep happening to these good people. Just when you think it can't get any worse, you hit the end of a chapter, and you're just: "Oh God...Oh no...Holy shit..."

I just couldn't read anymore. Too depressing.

HBO is currently working on a TV series based on the books, though.
