ATTN: MALIKA "A GAME OF THRONES" TV SHOW!!!!![views:41563][posts:136]_______________________________________ [Jun 21,2011 1:12pm - AndrewBastard ""] I'm all set with the rest of the WoT series...shit is just stale and stagnant. |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 21,2011 1:28pm - ouchdrummer ""] i agree... i was all about finishing it.. but only for the sake of... nope, not gonna do it. It was AWESOME all the way to "The Lord of Chaos" |
| ______________________________ [Jun 21,2011 2:22pm - ark ""] I only got halfway through the 2nd book in WoT, I stopped a while ago, I just wanted to read something else. I might jump back in and see if it still holds my interest. |
| _______________________________________ [Jun 21,2011 2:24pm - AndrewBastard ""] its good up until Winters Heart IMO...starts losing steam after Lord of Chaos though. |
| ______________________________ [Jun 21,2011 2:25pm - ark ""] ouchdrummer said:but fuck easy. This shit's elite. awwwww yeeeahhhh |

| ________________________________________ [Jul 11,2011 11:31am - AndrewBastard ""] last episode was epic as fahk need to pick up a dance with dragons STAT |

| __________________________________________ [Jul 12,2011 11:27am - arkquimanthorn ""] watched the finale last night. OH SHIT |
| __________________________________ [Jul 31,2011 12:06pm - Doomkid ""] Bought "A Game of Thrones" the other day. Sooo glad I did, this book is amazing. And having watched the show first, reading about Eddard Stark and picturing Sean Bean is great. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 31,2011 2:18pm - deathchick ""] A Dance with Dragons is pretty awesome so far. |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 31,2011 2:31pm - Boozegood ""] Just started Season 1, found it at the bazaar over here. |
| _____________________________ [Jul 31,2011 4:10pm - pam ""] 1/2way through the first book, loved the show...how have I missed this thread? |

| __________________________________ [Aug 1,2011 2:22pm - arktouros ""] The best thing about the HBO series is you can pick up the second book, and know EXACTLY what's going on. |
| ________________________________ [Aug 1,2011 2:26pm - Doomkid ""] Housed the first half of GoT yesterday... I'm glad I started this when there's 3 more books waiting. Does anyone else feel like there's almost a Redwall-like level of food description in Martin's writing? (if anyone knows what I mean that is) |

| _________________________________________ [Jul 5,2012 3:27pm - largefreakatzero ""] I finished the first book over the weekend, and am well into book #2. Great read, don't want to put down. Reading on Kindle which makes it possible to read while drunk -- increased font size FTW. |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 18,2012 7:05am - arilliusbm ""] Just finished season 1. Love it. It's definitely my favorite soap opera after One Life to Live. |
| __________________________________________ [Sep 18,2012 8:03am - largefreakatzero ""] Show is ok. Books 1 to 3 were great, book 4 kinda went off the rails, and from the reviews book 5 sounds even worse. Probably won't bother. |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 18,2012 8:20am - arilliusbm ""] Joffrey = Algus from FFT |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 18,2012 8:35am - AndrewBastard ""] yeah, a Dance With Dragons was a fucking bore, IMO...it takes place at the same time as a Feast for Crows (book 4) which I liked more than DwD... all fantasy series that I initially love end up going on for too long. Its a shame. Gookind Jordan Martin Eddings 5 books is the max IMO. 3 is preferred. |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 18,2012 8:45am - arilliusbm ""] What was up with that awkward fat guy with the dangling penis in episode 9? |

Its a shame. Gookind Jordan Martin Eddings 5 books is the max IMO. 3 is preferred. Yeah, Feast for Crows wasn't terrible, but it started to turn into a clusterfuck with too many characters, and he started to cheap out on the character development. Also, I found it arrogant and annoying that the author addressed the reader directly at the end -- fuck off, don't talk to me, write. From all the reviews I read, DWD (Book 5) was even worse from that aspect (discombobulated) -- from those reviews and your review, I'm definitely going to spend my time reading something else. It's too bad, because the first 3 books really were excellent. |

He's just a simpleton that the Starks had in their care that they ended up using to assist Brandon after his fall... |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 18,2012 9:12am - AndrewBastard ""] DwD gets cool towards the end and some pretty major shit happens...but the first 1/2-3/4 of the book just seems to drag with no major events taking place and too many chapters on random characters you dont really give a shit about. |
