Eeeeeeee! So huggable I just want to die!

Nymeria might be the cutest. I love when puppies have one ear "half-cocked."

That is the beauty and hook of the books. Haha. I'm still hooked and waiting like a junkie for book 4.

There are already four books:
- A Game of Thrones (1996)
- A Clash of Kings (1998)
- A Storm of Swords (2000)
- A Feast for Crows (2005)

A Dance With Dragons is the fifth book.

Yup, but depending on editions the actual number varies.
-The english edition I have has cut a storrm of swords in two, but clearly states Vol1 and vol2.
-Some translated languages have cut the volumes in order to milk the customers, french AFAIK has been cut overall in...twelve pocket books ? So it makes sense some people are confused about numbers.

Hmm, didn't realize it.

I've been googling for reviews for the past couple weeks, and it appears the review embargo was finally lifted yesterday.

The overall consensus so far?

It's awesome. "A Storm Of Swords" awesome.

Oh GOD, am I ever looking forward to it. Gotta finish A Feast For Crows as fast as I possibly can!

Yeah, I've read the german version before the original - which is 8 books up to now (every english book is splitted into 2 germanbooks). And I've read also that this variies between coutnries - french seems to have the heaviest book-count haha..

Guys, I cant hardly wait anymore...I mean, I've waited already long enough, but daaaaaaamn is it killing me at the moment...

I recently finished season one of HBO's Game Of Thrones, and it was great. I totally loved it.

So i ordered all the 4 books there is, and im about to read them soon. I have very high expectations towards them.

Ya for some odd reason, french people don't seem to mind getting milked example: I've read the Wheel of Time (which has 13 books in english out) and the french version had 19/20 out prior to the 12th english volume XD

Started reading "A Game of Thrones" ..the first book, today. So far it's good, but i can't really say anything yet. I'll post my opinion later, when i've read it further.

Picked up my copy of ADWD today.

Haven't finished A Feast of Crows yet as I haven't had as much time to read as of late, but it's nice knowing that, once I am done, it will be there for me.

 

[petereanima]

Amazon shipped mine yesterday, should arrive today. tomorrow latest.

I still want to finish my reread before starting it, so I'm again "up to date"..its been 2 years since I've read it...I'm in the middle of Storm Of Swords at the moment, and have no fucking time...I think I need holidays.

 

[Bekanor]

You said it bro.




What "it" is I have no idea and I suspect I never will.

 

[gunshow86de]

I have around 50 pages left in Storm of Swords (for my lunch break today). I've enjoyed every word.

 

[Animus]

I just finally got on the Kindle train and ordered one. So I will be reading the whole series on Kindle (halfway through GOT now on my iphone).
