I doubt you can honestly see no room for stories that take place between "nothing bad ever happens to them" and major characters dying sudden, pointless, futile deaths. If you are just being argumentative I don't have a use for it, and if you aren't there's not much I can say on our difference in literary taste.My 'response' to the red wedding was to lose all suspension of disbelief for the story, and thus all interest. I was not angry even for a moment at the Frey's or whoever. I was annoyed at Martin for wasting the time I'd invested already and angry at my bf for recommending the books when I had clearly described how little I liked that exact sort of behavior from another writer. I don't know what reasoning you are drawing from what I wrote, but my comments were a simple statement of fact about how my attitude towards the story changed, not a point for argument. The moment I realized what was happening at the wedding, the entire thing stopped being a story that I could lose myself in and became whatever this guy had chosen to write down on paper. Obviously it didn't strike you that way, but I didn't make the comment to tell anyone else how to think.kahuna burger</blockquote>
