Loved the new book!!

[derubermax]

Is it me, or does he totally sound like Richard Dreyfuss? 

[damajaco5]

@derubermax He does!! :-)

I am so tired of his bullshit. He hasn't put out a book in 5 years, after telling his readers that it was just about done almost 4 years ago. Yet he has the audacity to run aroung to all these conentions and read "excerpts" of his upcoming book. He's too busy watching NFL football and buggering off to this Com or that filmset. Add to that, the fact that there are to be 2 other books after this one is alledgedly released.

What crap. Writers should write. plain and simple

He was in town to teach a college writing class for a week...I for one am not a writer, but this Saga is his "baby" so to speak ; I say take all the time you need!

To everybody complaining about how long his writing process takes, it took tolkien 13 years to write a book about a fifth the size of Martins CURRENT series. And Robert Jordan died before he fiished his series. To all those who have the grit to say he is not working hard enough lets see you do something a tenth the magnitude he has done in his career.

yep, it did just come out and I just finished reading it. I wish I could say it was worth the wait. Regardless of my previous comments I wanted this book to be great. I will probably read it again, but I can't say I loved it the way I did some of the previous books in the series. With 2 books left in the series(whenever they may happen) I am starting to loose interest. Maybe I just need to digest what I just read a bit more, but I can't help but feel disappointed.

@beef4u2use well, Leonardo da Vinci was known for never finishing his art on the deadlines. just saying.

@derubermax You're right. He does!

Good god man...take care of your health! I enjoy your work and look forward to more adventures from you. Drop some cash on a personal trainer. =D

[unabomberman]

He looks like fuckin' Santa Clause. Respect!

Books need time to grow. Everyone who has read the four books so far, knows how dense they are written and how well everything is tied together. Writing such a thing book for book and releasing them once in a while makes it even harder to keep on track. So dont bitch about how long it takes, because it will find an end and it will be awesome.

@beef4u2use 'staring'? I presume you mean starving? So what, then, has starving got to do with taking your time? All I know, is to George this is literally his life's work, the thing he has put the most effort into out of anything else, ever. Let the man take his time to say what he wants to say, properly. This is not a product, it is a man's magnum opus for christ's sake. And you try and call me an asshole?

@beef4u2use

Can we all just get along?....no more cussing please ,

thank you

[beef4u2use]

@FiveFingerRainRap Thanks for sharing. I was wondering your thoughts were on the matter and you have finally responded. I particularly like to eloquence with which you make your point. You have trully thought this through. "Ya can't rush art". Well that comes as a real surprise considering all the wonderful work that has been done by so many a staring artists. All those artists that were commissioned to create works with time constraints must have just gotten lucky. Grow the fuck up asshole.
