Summary: Better than Tolkien
Comment: Yes, you read right--George R. R. Martin's A Song of Fire and Ice is BETTER than Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. Why is everyone afraid to admit this? Yes, Tolkien is a genius--the fantasy genre wouldn't exist without him, and no doubt, A Song of Fire of Ice couldn't have been written. But ... each of Martin's books are more entertaining than Tolkien's trilogy. I get bored at times reading The Lord of the Rings; I barely sleep when I read each of the 700+ page Martin books. Am I alone?

Summary: A Feast For Crows?
Comment: I won't write anything new about this book, since there are a myriad of other reviews that capture the essence of this series. I did find the first two books in the series just a wee bit more enjoyable, thus the four star rating. If I could have, I'd have rated this book at 4.9 stars. In any case, it still is, simply put, a wonderful book and a great read. It also stays relatively true to the incredible world vision that emerged in "A Game of Thrones." I'll also add that by the time you finish reading this volume, you'll still be thirsting for more, i.e., the next installment in this epic doorstopper series, "A Feast For Crows."
READ THIS WARNING---- I just perused Martin's official website and as of today's date (12/03/03), Martin has not even finished writing "A Feast For Crows." So why does Amazon[.com] have this listed as a preorder? Martin says he has no page count, he is trying to finish AFFC as fast as he can, but, I repeat, it is NOT finished! Martin also addresses the Amazon[.com] error and has no idea where their information comes from. He also adds that the only thing finished is the cover art. At least Amazon[.com] got that right! So, prepare for a major disappointment if you think you'll be getting your new copy on the date Amazon[.com] cites as the release date.
In conclusion, I would have put this review with the "A Feast for Crows" listing, as Amazon[.com] usually allows reviews to be printed before a product is actually even available to the public. For some reason, they don't allow it for AFFC. I wonder why? Needless to say, we all would love to get our hands on a copy as soon as we can, BUT Amazon[.com's] erroneous listing of "A Feast For Crows" is a tease we all could do without.
