20. Yes "A Song of Ice and Fire" is bloody and graphic.

Monday

However it is a very well told story with compelling characters and an infinite number of complex plots and subplots .

I have re-read books 1, 2 and 3 three times each, book 4 twice and book 5 once. When (if!) book 6 is ever released, I will start all over at the beginning and read them all again. No matter how many times I read them, I still find things I did not connect before.

Martin has this way of dropping a seemingly insignificant character or situation into the story, only to have that character or situation pop up later, tying together a bunch of loose ends. "Oh that's why that was important"!

Martin wrote for TV and he does know how to tell a good story!
