Title: What's the fuss all about?
Product review: There is almost no character development at all and I found the foul language a bit incongruous with the setting of the story. I made it about 1/3 the way through, realized I didn't care a hoot what happened to any of the characters, and then read the end just to see if it got interesting (it didn't). At one point we read about dragons suckling on a human girl, and that's when I decided not to bother at all with the second book in the series, despite already owning it. Martin's work just isn't my taste. I prefer novels where something good happens to at least someone in the book, and less incest and gratuitous sex. For fantasy on the lighter, happier side, try Tad Williams, C.S. Friedman or Martha Wells.
