Review:I bought this anthology as a gift for my significant other who is enthralled with A Game of Thrones. The book was in good shape when it arrived, and is aesthetically pleasing to publicly display. The anthology seems really interesting as a whole. Definitely worth the buy. Read more
Review:The book kind of started off okay, but then veered off into blandness towards the end. The end was fairly cliche and didn't really contribute any new ideas. Overall I would recommend skipping this oen. Read more
Review:I found maps on internet betters than this one! There are a lot of maps, but it's like a big map divided in parts. Nevertheless, I liked the map. Is better read the book with a opened in front of you. Read more
Review:Don't hate on this please. But while I absolutely love the GOT books' storylines, characters, and scenes, which Gorge R.R. Martin so expertly and economically sets up, it's continually difficult for me to wade through the style of prose he's chosen to tell the tale. It just breaches the hokey line, in addition to the highbrow mark, a bit too often for my taste. But of course I read on. This world he's created is just too intriguing to stop. One just has to know what happens next. Read more
Review:Surprised me how quick this book reads. The jumps between lives of aces and jokers just kept me interested. It never got too long for a single character, but continuous mentioning kept them close at heart. Read more
Review:I was a little shocked, I didn't think that George RR Martin did anything in less than 150 pages. it's an interesting story, but it doesn't really seem to fit with any of his other works. All in all, a good purchase I'd say. Read more
Review:This series of books has a little, or a lot in some cases, of everything. Action, adventure, magic and fighting. About the only thing missing missing is an actual romantic angle, or so it seemed. Great read, engaging until the last. Read more
Review:I bought this to read while on jury duty and picked it because of the author. Actually, its is a collection of short sci-fi stories which range in quality from good to so-so. George RR Martin is not one of the authors. I need to say that I am not a sci-fi fan, but I did really enjoy the five Game of Thrones books so I bought this one. It's okay but I would not recommend it as worth getting unless you are a sci-fi nut. Read more
Review:I just recently received and am really impressed! Such a beautiful book! Love the illustrations too! I hope that the author/ publisher comes out with other illustrated volumes like this one for the other 4 books since I would buy and then the dragon egg book ends to go with! Cannot wait to read! Love the HBO series and am hooked!! Read more
Review:This simplistic "adventure in space" seems to have a target demographic of 12 year old kids. Tuf, who accidentally loves cute cats, finds a space ship. Tuf takes this huge space ship to various planetary systems, who all have various ecologically related problems they can't fix themselves. Tuf uses the ship's cloning devices to engineer some kind of biological solution to the planet's problem. Repeat a couple of times, and that's it.
The ending's attempt to provide a more philosophical di... Read more
