A Dance With Dragons by George R.R. Martin

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A decent sequel to the everchanging series. The ending didn’t provide the same punch as some of Martin’s first books however did leave me in suspenseful awe. Nothing compares to the Red Wedding. Overall a definite read if you’re engrossed in the series.

A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail by Bill Bryson

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Bryson’s books are hit or miss when it comes to travel. His experiences to me are funnier than shit however when he starts to talk history about the places is when sometimes it does get a little dull. This book was interesting when he adventures with his buddy Katz. Other than that there wasn’t too much substance unless you’ve actually done the trail yourself and could relate. Oh and by the way. He didn’t finish the entire trail. He didn’t even do half of it.

A Feast for Crows by George R.R. Martin

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Not as good as the first three in the series. Starts off a bit slow with introductions to some lesser known characters from Dorne. Finishes off with some good stuff as always. Half the characters are missing from this book (Tyrion, Danaerys, Jon Snow, Bran, Stannis). Next book promises to be better.

The Road by Cormac McCarthy

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is a bit haunting. Great read though. Reminded me a bit of Heart of Darkness. McCarthy has a great way of decsribing minute details. It’s almost poetic.

A Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fans of the first book “Game of Thrones” will not be disappointed. Picks up exactly where the first left off. Excellent sequal to Game of Thrones. Only gripe was Robb Stark was pretty much non-existant in this book.
