Doesn't look like it's going to end like I was expecting it too.

Shelley does an excellent job ramping up my excitement for what the Monster is about to do. I actually hate to stop reading for the day.

For all the progress we've made as a society, I sometimes feel like our art has gotten cheaper. Books (and we) aren't as sophisticated.

I like it, but I am glad that we're finally progressing past the creature talking all the time.

I really like the chapters with Jaime and Brienne.

The Comedy of Errors Act II Scene I. Titus was a weird tale.

A little silly, but I actually really like the writing.

The Monster is telling an interesting tale, but I'm wondering exactly what the point of it is. How did he come to murder a child?

I hate Bran's wolf dreams, but I did like the Davos chapter.

Man, the Monster sure can ramble on and on LOL, but it's interesting reading about how he discovered language.

Titus Andronicus Act V Scene III. Really having trouble staying awake

Titus Andronicus Act IV Scene IV. Having trouble staying awake on this one.

A character I thought died turned up alive, plus an interesting Jon chapter featuring the introduction of Mance. I like him so far.

I know classic horror films are usually very different from the novels they're based on, but I was really surprised the Monster is intelligent and capable of human speech.

Titus Andronicus Act IV Scene I. Dozed off for a moment while reading. Could have swore I read something about traveling, but when I went back to find it it wasn't there.

Glad to finally get a Jaime chapter, which cast light on a question that's been plaguing the series since Book 1 (who tried to kill Bran?).

Pretty good so far. I was surprised by the death of a young character, though. Wouldn't have expected a murder like that from a novel written so long ago.

Titus Andronicus Act III Scene I. Curious how they would have showed Lavinia without any hands back when this was an original play.

The preview for the next book was interesting. I think I'm going to like reading about the Tyrells.

Bored with Bran's wolf dreams. Finished the story and now reading about the Houses.

Titus Andronicus Act II, Scene I. I enjoyed what I understood of Richard III. I had to look up what happened in TA Act I because I didn't understand why Titus killed his son.

I like the way the author doesn't explain the confusion over the last Sansa chapter and trusts the reader to figure out what happened on their own. That said I'm very disappointed that Loras would side with the Lannisters.

King Richard the Third, Act IV, Scene I

A dull Tyrion chapter followed by an interesting Sansa chapter with a very unexpected announcement at the end. This was followed by an interesting Daenerys chapter that I wish had happened at the beginning of the book.

King Richard the Third Act II, Scene III
