title: A Feast for Crows: A Song of Ice and Fire: Book Four
author:  George R. R. Martin 
description: &quot;Of those who work in the grand epic-fantasy tradition, Martin is by far the best.... [He] is a tense, surging, insomnia-inflicting plotter and a deft and inexhaustible sketcher of personalities.... This is as good a time as any to proclaim him the American Tolkien.&quot;&#8212;<i>Time Magazine<br><br></i>&quot;The only fantast series I'd put on a level with J.R.R. Tolkein's <i>The Lord of the Rings&#8230;. </i>It's a fantasy series for hip, smart people, even those who don't read fantasy&#8230;. If you're new to the series, you must begin with Book 1, <b>A Game of Thrones</b>. Once you're hooked&#8230;. you'll be like the rest of us fans, gnawing your knuckles until book 5&#8221;&#8212;Marta Salij, <i>Detroit Free Press</i><br><br>&#8220;THE MOST impressive modern fantasy, both in terms of conception and execution, is George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire<b>.</b>&#8230; A masterpiece that will be mentioned with the great works of fantasy.&#8221;&#8212;<i>Contra Costa Times</i><br><br>&quot;Long-awaited doesn&#8217;t begin to describe this fourth installment in bestseller Martin's staggeringly epic Song of Ice and Fire.&quot;&#8212;<i>Publishers Weekly</i><br><br>&quot;Grabs hold and won't let go. It's brilliant.&quot;&#8212;Robert Jordan<br><br>&quot;Such a splendid tale and such a fantistorical! I read my eyes out.&quot;&#8212;Anne McCaffrey<br><i><br></i>&quot;Fantasy fans will feast!&quot;&#8212;<i>Associated Press</i>
