Picked this up while helping a friend clean out his basement in Triangle, Virginia. Registered in Rockville, Maryland, USA.

I read another copy of this years ago and this is what I had to say then:

Eleventy-billion characters and the only truly interesting one is the dwarf. Sure, there were a few decently intertwined stories, but I really only paid attention when it was focused on Tyrion Lannister. His cynicism was refreshing amidst all the obsession over who gets to be king next. I liked this book far more than I'd expected, given that I tend not to favor political intrigue of any genre, but I don't feel any particular desire to read more of the series.
