>The funny thing is that the Hobbit & Lord of the Rings combined were smaller than AFFC & ADWD

I had to look it up and holy shit, you're right!

LotR one volume edition has 1178 pages

Hobbit has only 300 pages

But A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons together consist of 2256 pages.

It's crazy.

I read it on the day of release and absolutely was one of those one stars. Had nothing to do with how long it took but because it was a meandering mess that needed an editor willing to call him out. It was part 2 of the worldbuilder books that barely nudged the plot along until the end then left it on cliffhanger for god know how long.

So please provide some type of evidence for your claim that's what those one stars were for as I was able to refute your 'no one remotely had a chance to read it'. Did ya know the reviews are still there for people to see? crazy huh?

Well, if you're going for the show love theme for automod, I think you should go full-out and get copypasta from threads like this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/television/comments/47iv12/george_rr_martin_game_of_thrones_twist_will/

Also negative reviews of "Feast for Crows" and "Dance with Dragons" on Amazon (some of these are LOONG and critical nonstop, you could get paragraphs):

Then people could still post some of the anti-show jerking while getting trolled by automod, who hates the books.

Here's all five-star reviews of season 5:

e: here's a couple:

body+title: ["winds of winter"] comment: | "I'm really sick of hearing about this book. None of it matters unless you finish it, george. My issue is the books have been taking longer to write while the quality has dropped significantly from the first three. I wouldn't mind the delay if they were actually worth the wait, but at this point the books have become drawn out and somewhat boring.

body+title: ["feast for crows", "dance with dragons"] comment: | "Feast & Dance should never have been written in their current form--or preferably not at all. Will somebody tell Tyrion where whores go? Yes, I get it--Jon Snow knows nothing. Jaime, did you know Cersei has been screwing Lancel & Osmund? One can cut 100 pages of text simply by removing all food references. If you remove all reminisces you could cut another 100 pages. Good lord! Did anybody edit this train wreck? Instead it's up to the reader to assess whether or not a paragraph is worthy of being read and then skipping to the next paragraph if the answer is "no" (which happens all too often--the vast majority of this book is mere "fill" the purpose of which is to extend the life of this series).

u/MustardBucket · 3 pointsr/gameofthrones

Currently, there is only a box set for the first four (amazon link). But the fifth is available on it's own.

The order of the books is

  1. Game of Thrones

  2. Clash of Kings

  3. Storm of Swords

  4. A Feast For Crows

  5. A Dance With Dragons

    Forewarning: Books 4 and 5 take place concurrently, unlike the first three, they are really just one book that was released in two volumes. So I wouldn't recommend starting book 4, unless you already own book five.
u/Cromar · 2 pointsr/asoiaf

Amazon has it as August 28th.

u/judogirl · 2 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

How about this?

u/jeff17237 · 1 pointr/gameofthrones

Well, in the USA it has one listed here.

u/3rdPlaceYoureFired · 1 pointr/gameofthrones

Amazon Link Confirms March 2013 release date. Hoping he'll include a chapter from book 6!

u/SereneWisdom · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

This book would be great because I've done read the previous four in the series about 5 times now. I really would love to know... What happens to Jon Snow, Tyrion Lannister, and Sansa Stark? I got to know. Dx (Ok, I don't got to know. But I'd like to, haha.)

A room without books is like a body without a soul.

Thank you for this contest. :)

u/jmottram08 · 1 pointr/books

and the american

http://www.amazon.com/Dance-Dragons-Song-Ice-Fire/dp/0553582011

The US has cheaper prices across the board, from hardback to paperback to audiobook to kindle edition to library binding.

You also need to read The Tales of Beedle the Bard. :)

I need book 5 in the ASOIAF series!

I'd like some butterbeer! Thank you for the contest. :)

u/author124 · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

I'd like some butterbeer!

I got a bundle of the first four Song of Ice and Fire books for the kindle app on my phone/computer, and would LOVE a paperback of the fifth (the main reason I got the kindle versions of the first four was that it was cheaper than getting all four in paperback or hardcover.)

EDIT: Also, my boyfriend's never read the HP books. I've read all of them. And yet, SOMEHOW, he often knows the plot of the books better than I do

u/5picy · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

Oh my goshhhh this is awesome. I haven't read ADWD yet, so I'll add it to my wishlist now! Here 'tis!

I prefer a physical copy, but paperback is fine and used is fine. :)

u/aws1012 · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh! I'd definitely love an actual copy of any of them, but if I have to choose, I'd probably pick this one. I already have the e-books unfortunately, but I'd be more than happy with a cheap paperback. :)

Thanks for the contest! Also, I'm not just trying to win, but your kids are incredibly cute! :D

u/javierNelson · 1 pointr/asoiaf

TWoW Chapters Old Bold Barry does not appear to be available online, supposedly only available in ADwD paperback edition link to amazon paperback edition with the barristan chapter here. It is supposed to be a "thrilling sneak peek"

u/badphish94 · -7 pointsr/television

I don't read enough books to know where to look for reviews, but I'll do my best. I got like 200 pages into ADWD before no longer caring, whereas with the first 3 I finished them all in days. It's like he looked at the last books and thought "hmm, people like seeing bad things happen to the characters. I'll just keep throwing bad things at them over and over again and they'll be so shocked they love it!"

AGOT - 4.5 stars. Top reviews are all of praise.

ACOK - 4.5 stars. Most of the top reviews are praise, some notice a dip in quality. I agree, though still a great book.

ASOS - 4.6 stars. Top reviews are praising it, much deserved.

AFFC - 3.8 stars. Top reviews say "it's okay, but..."

ADWD - 4.0 stars. Top reviews are even worse, despite the higher score.

Good books? Maybe, but they're not on the quality level of the Harry Potter books and the first 3 asoiaf books, which was what most people were expecting again.
