What is your favorite book?

My favorite book is A Feast for Crows. It is the last in the
series that follows the storylines of most of the characters I'm
most invested in, mainly the Stark kids. It also introduces new
characters that add to the ever expansive GRRM world. Much of
the plot is foggy to me because I read it two years ago, but I
know this book is where Cersei finally gets her comeuppance, and
that makes me super happy.

A Feast For Crows is a great read. Been a few years since i
read it but with the way he book ends with Jon Snow being
treated by his brothers and the son of the Prince of Dorne just
landing on Westeros with the Golden Company behind him leaves me
guessing whether we already know the character somehow or is he
a completely new character ( I'm hoping it might be Bronn but it
could be any other character we have had a glimpse at already.
dorne are the sleeping giant and its gonna get messy real quick.
Arya and her training is one of the best parts of her book,
learning to change her face, I cant wait for her to travel back
to Westeros and exact her vengeance!
Also Tyrion in Easteros is interesting, will he help Danerys or
not, i reckon he will. Sorry for the spelling mistakes :)

I totally agree. I'd have to say the follow up book 5 is my
least favorite mostly because there are characters from the
previous books the author does not include. So, we must wait
until book 6 to find out the fates of quite a few. I realize he
actually--George Double R Martin--wrote a huge story that was
subsequently broken into two separate novels that became books 4
and 5. I just wish he'd organized it differently.

That just says to me George RR Martin isn't the writing god some
people claim him to be. He's also an established author; so he
doesn't have to try as hard. Readers see a 900 page book by GRRM
and buy it expecting greatness.
On a side note, has anyone read GRRM's "Fevre Dream"? I've heard
it's really good and have thought about getting it on several
occasions.
By the way, I liked the first 3 books best. I, personally, had a
hard time getting through Book 4.

I'll have to check out that book and see if I can find it in the
library.
Unfortunately, many established authors get to the point where
they don't try very hard, or they lose sight of what made them
famous in the first place. And some are just overrated. They
think they can write anything and they can't. Anne Rice is a
great author to me, but her attempt at werewolf lore was a big
disappointment after the Vampire Chronicles. I struggled through
the first book, Wolf Gift, and gave up after about 100 pages in
the sequel Wolves of Midwinter. It was just ridiculous, like she
was trying to be so profound and philosophical. And I really
didn't like the main protagonist.
