[QUOTE="Mannahnin, post: 9260370, member: 7026594"] Quality of writing is always somewhat subjective, but yeah, GRRM is a good writer. He could certainly use more editing, IMO, but his prose, plotting, and characters are evocative and compelling. The TV show took a NOTABLE nosedive in quality of writing once they couldn't crib directly from his material. Jordan I can't stand, but he's still got virtues. I can understand why people like him. I think the plot and basic concepts in the Dragonlance books are pretty solid. The dialogue is atrocious and the prose amateurish, but those aren't obstacles to a TV or movie adaptation. The terrible dialogue is almost a wash, because you won't feel like you're losing anything you cut. :LOL: [/QUOTE]
