I am finished. My real review will be coming soon (and here it is), but here's the last installment of my reading journal for those who are still interested. This star rating reflects my feelings about the last quarter of the book and may not be my final rating for the book in its entirety. Since I am writing about the book as I go, there will necessarily be spoilers, so don't continue if you want to avoid them.

I am nearly half way through now, so I thought it was time to put up the second installment of my reading journal. My star rating is always where I at in the book at the time of writing. It's going to fluctuate. Since I am writing about the book as I go, there will necessarily be spoilers, so don't continue if you want to avoid them.

I am a quarter of the way through the book; this is the furthest I've reached in four tries. I've been keeping a reading journal, and I feel compelled to share my feelings despite my lack of knowledge of what's to come. My star rating is where I am at now. This may change in subsequent installments. I don't know why any of you would want to read this, but then I would probably love to read this from some of my friends on here, so you never know. Enjoy ,,, or not.

I am closing in on the end, so here's my third installment of my reading journal. My star rating is always where I am at in the book at the time of writing. It's going to fluctuate.

I won't bother anyone with a synopsis. I am not a huge fantasy guy but like the basics. Lord of The Rings, The Hobbit, the first book to the Wheel of Time series before it got ridiculous, Phillip Pullman, Neal Stephenson, etc. I have to say that I enjoyed the book. I was bummed with the death of certain characters but I am looking forward to the next book. It took me a while to get through it. I stopped for a while then go back into it then really cranked out the last couple hundred pages. I sta ...more

Now an excellent HBO series this book opens the Songs of Fire & Ice saga splendidly introducing the land, families, religions and moving matters along at a fair old lick. Not bad for an 800+ page book. Whilst nothing can rival Lord of the Rings this is certainly a gripping saga and I will be back for book two.
