[QUOTE="GoodKingJayIII, post: 3884483, member: 13804"] I don't suppose Time posted that article on their website anywhere? I'm going to take a look, but if you have a link that'd save me some time. :) I'm actually very curious as to why they think so. Why do you say this? Certainly, the fact that Time said anything at all is something, but what else is this statement based on? I try and stay abreast of goings-on in the publishing world, and I'm not really getting that from the trade journals, nor my friends who enjoy reading. He has sold well. So have R.A. Salvatore and Kevin J. Anderson. That is not an accurate gage of anything except how well the books have sold. I am not sure what to take from that. Are my statements less valid because there are more people who like him than those who don't? I'm not trying to start an argument about the subjectivity of art (or any argument at all, for that matter) as I'm sure you're already aware of that, but obviously there are two sides to every coin, and I was offering another. The OP did say he tried the first book and had some trouble with it because it seemed kind of slow. Expanding on that, the books get longer, the plots meander more, and if you're looking at it from that opinion, they indeed get slower. And I'll leave it at that, because I don't want to derail this perfectly good "what books should I read" thread into a back-and-forth about GRRM. [/QUOTE]
