Review title: A Really Slow Clash of Kings
Product review: After reading "A Game Of Thrones" (this book's predecessor) I expected much more from "A Clash of Kings". The first book truly "unfolded" before my eyes, and introduced the world and its inhabitants to me in a very intriguing way.In contrast, I found this one slow and a bit confusing through most of the book. There was so much information about such a large number of characters that it was often hard to figure out who was doing what to whom and why. It was as though I was being force-fed character development information and background info in preparation for a test the next morning. Yikes!I will still read book 3 when it is released, in hopes that it is closer to the "feel" of the first book. If you are of the same mind, you'll want to trudge through this one so you don't miss part of the story.[Update, 2005] - I did read book 3, and have found it to be much better. Just thought I'd let everyone know that.
