Book Reviews: A Game of Thrones

by George R. R. Martin

I didn't realize this was the first of 7 planned novels (series called A Song of Ice and Fire) so I was annoyed when I reaized after 600 pages (with about 220 left) that this was just the beginning. The book was quite enrapturing, its the first fantasy I've read in over 10 years, and I see how people can get hooked. Wow, lots of sex. I didn't remember fantasy having sex in it when I was a kid. Maybe they didn't...

Anyway, although I enjoyed many parts, I won't continue the series but mostly because I don't have time to read 820 page books that don't contain equations and numbers.
