Title: Great book, one warning
Product review: I agree with everything people have stated here, and couldn't put it much better myself. It's great. Read the rest for specifics.However, I give one warning to readers: This is a GRAPHIC novel. The sceans are rich and pull you into the world, but the battle and sex sceans are also very...descriptive. Almost to the pointless point.I think that Martin could have done without them, but it's a great book, so I can overlook it myself. But don't start into this book expecting to see violence and sex of the Robert Jordan variety, i.e. as people die, the story just says 'they die by the hundreds' and the sex sceans consisting of 'they kiss and start tearing at eachothers shirts' and then leaving the chapter. George RR Martin is descriptive and immersing, and his sceans are not for the easily offended reader. However, the brilliance of his writing overshadows any such problems.
