I've said this around a few places and I guess it's a good time to say it here. I think we're entering the age of the 'super reviewer'. Whereby genuine, unbiased reviewers who build trust and respect, will dictate future bestsellers. While the dodgy or fake reviewers will become increasingly...

Ok, well that verifies that ;) yes! that's exactly what it was!

There were a lot of added sex scenes. Maybe they 'sexed it up' to get maximum ratings? I'm not prudish (well, not overly) but one of the scenes in the Brothel with Littlefinger gave me the irrits, it so obviously had no other purpose other than for the added perv value. I'm sure many wouldn't...

I loved it, but there were a few little things that were different in the series, things that didn't happen or happened differently in the book. My favorite characters in both the books and the tv series were Tyrion, Ayra and Syrio.

Just read it and I liked the 'twist' ;). I will be writing a full review of it on Amazon soon.

Agreed! :)

I noticed this too! It does make you wonder if they even bother reading it! I think they simply want to portray him as dark, which is missing the point really.

Just spotted your avi on the forums and wanted to stop by to say OMG I LOVE DRAGON AGE! Ok, that's me done.

I loved David Eddings books as a teenager. Recently I tried reading them again - the 'Elenium' series. I found it predictable and tedious. And I HATE the way he writes women! Talk about Madonna-whore complex!

Agreed! :)

Yes but all the elements of that story would have been seen before - the evil antagonist, the dreamer, castles, dark forests, etc - you name it, it's been done.

I agree try the paragraph idea, I've seen it before and it works.

I agree that we can no longer be truly original, but, it's not a problem. We simply take what we know and invent our own story with it. As long as it's a good story that is all that matters, as long as I don't replicate the tale of another author there is nothing to worry about.

Yes, in fact, I leave the word 'prologue' off my prologues. Tricky aren't I? Have you read a teenage girl's diary? I found one of mine, written when I was 14, it was hideous!

Welcome, yah, as much as I hate that word, it is very 'nice' here ;)
