At 700 pages, this is not a quick read.  It was also not a quick read because I kept taking breaks.  It was good, but there were times that it was too intense and I needed some time away.  The author, George R. R. Martin is not afraid to kill off characters he has spent much of the book developing and getting you all excited about.<\/p>\n<p>But this was an awesome book.  I recommend it strongly.
