All right, all right, Pesci is done with Ser Pokey's latest 500 page book which he wrapped up in a nice and neat 900 plus page cookbook. Oh the food, the food. So much of it, even reading a description of the best brown served in King's Landing seems like a chore. But I digress, we know this has been a criticism, throughout the series. It ( Read more... )

Brown Ben - “Then you are a dumbass.”
Irri -” It is known”
Jhiqui - “It is known"

That seriously made my day. You're right though - the cliffhanger overload was rediculous. I think the reason the book took so long (aside from various snack foods being available 'deep fried' now) is that he couldn't figure out how to end all those story lines. At the end he just said 'fuck it' and pushed off all the real difficult parts to the 'broken winds of winter'.

you have a future writing Fantasy Cliff Notes (TM) because apparently everyone who didn't like the pace of the book ONLY WANTS Pesci's Cliff Notes.

Hey,

On-and-off reader, first time commenter. Thanks for giving voice to the fans' frustration in such an entertaining way.

I sympathize with Martin a little and all the pressure he was under to finish the book, but I agree wtih all the faults in DWD. Feast I could appreciate. It was kind of fun seeing the immediate aftermath from some new POVs, and I really liked Brienne's story.

With DWD the question I was asking myself all through was: why did this need to be written?

His Bearded Grandness apparently was gonna jump some years forward in time and pick up the character threads then, but couldn't. Well...why not? What happens here that couldn't have been better summed up in a few quick flashbacks?

Thanks for the Cliffs notes. Dany's version was a lot more entertaining that the real thing (Oh Dany what HAPPENED to you???).

I think I need to write a review of my own now...

I'd have to say that Reek being forced to drink from Fake Arya's furry cup had to be about the sickest thing the Great Big Shit has ever written. Are all you fantasy dorcasi really just secretly repressed S&M freaks (rhymes with geeks).

Dany- “ Oh I don't know.”

Brown Ben - “Then you are a dumbass.”

Irri -” It is known”

Jhiqui - “It is known"

Nice
