When I first listened to the audio book version of “A Game of Thrones” I put it down at a point that I think many people can identify without me spelling it out. I was to angry to continue reading, and I stuck with that notion determined to never read another book by Martin. Well a friend made a good point to me one day, when has any other book elicited such a strong true emotional reaction. When have I been that surprised at the events in a book.

This is why I finally re-read the book and finished it. Because in truth I really wanted to know more about the world and characters of the Seven kingdoms. That is also why I have given this story 5 stars. Martin will keep you on the edge of your seat with surprises from page one. Enjoy this book and check out the new HBO series, only after reading the book.

This book was Awesome! One of the most enjoyable books I have read and will now hold a place at the top of my list. It was fun and full of gaming and geek references that made me laugh and smile. I also now have a list of books, movies, and games that I want to dig into.

Under all the geek culture references was a truly engrossing story and adventure to make any reader excited.

I may be biased, but I truly believe this book deserves 5 stars.

The begining to a wonderful adventure that will keep you exited from start to finish. I highly recommend this book and the entire Wheel of Time series.

I am not sure i can find the words right now to describe how excited I was to finally read this book. I am in awe. Thank you Robert Jordan for getting us started on this journey and thank you Brandon Sanderson for bringing it to an amazing close.

Wow!

Once again, George R. R. Martin has taken me on a bloody, harsh, epic journey through Westeros. At first I thought this book was slow moving and drawn out, but quickly Martin turns the tide and sets you at a full sprint downhill. You begin to see the plans that were laid in the first 1/3 of the book come to fruition, every page turn making it that much harder to put the book down. I was once again surprised over and over. Some of these surprises made me angry while others made me very pleased. 5 Stars, Martin has done it again.
