Beautiful but impractical edition of an excellent book.
This is a very fine edition. The maps have a better definition you won't find in the pocket editions. But nothing's better than the content.. xD
However it is a beautiful edition, it can be impractical when carrying the book for short readings (at the bus or between classes, for example) because it is too big.
Bear this in mind when buying.Lire l'avis complet...
The writer's Fatal Flaw (pun intended).
The series (A Song of Ice and Fire) to which A Dance with Dragons is Book 5 has been compared, by critics, to Tolkien's the Lord of the Rings. While it is true that Martin writes beautifully and that the lay-out is unique and interesting, Martin's work has a fatal flaw.
Imagine, if you will, that Tolkien killed off Samwise in chapter 5 of Book 1, that Aragorn didn't live through the second book, and that Frodo, Merry, Legolas, etc. met their ends before the culmination of the adventure.
It is a characteristic of readers to become attached to leading characters. It is a mark of a great writer to use that attachment to cheer us or shock us. However, Martin has a penchant for eliminating so MANY of his major characters that I no longer even feel shocked when he killed off yet another promising character at the end of this book. I am disappointed that I have wasted so much time (these are, after all, lengthy books) but will no longer waste more on Martin's series.Lire l'avis complet...
Awesome finale to this immense saga..............
This was a Birthday Gift for my gorgeous Wife ,she has the rest of the collection and this Finale was special given that the Author had signed this first edition when he appeared at a promotion launch in Los Angeles earlier this summer.
The story itself is as marvellous as ever and we look forward to many more such sagas.Lire l'avis complet...
Starks rule! Mother of Dragons lost her mojo!
Although long and doesn't address several of the lives of people who I love, I still enjoyed the book. I am in the process of rereading the parts about Jon Snow and Bran. I am truely invested in their characters and am trying not to miss anything. Although disappointed at the end, I hope I will be surprised. I agree with some, that Mr. Martin seems to be sometimes forgetting the Starks, who we forged a bond from the beginning. I see this a continuing saga of their story. Meanwhile, Daenerys is ho-hum and not the strong character portrayed in the other books. Hopefully, she gets her mojo back!Lire l'avis complet...
Best fantasy!
This book is one in a series of awesome fantasy stories with a middle ages feel. Kings and queens, knights and barbarians, all based on historical fact. Very good if you like fantasy, sci-fi or historical novels. I found it to be a true page turner.Lire l'avis complet...
A Dance With Dragons is a fantastic addition to my collection!

It's the WRONG book y'all!
This was not George R.R. Martin's 'A Dance With Dragons' ! It's 'Grant' by Ron Chernow... Can't explain my disappointment or confusion after I opened it two months after I ordered it, to begin reading.Lire l'avis complet...
