George RR Martin is one of, if not my favorite current writer. As we all know I'm not the best with the written word, so if you want some super bad ass review just do some searching for A Song of Ice and Fire. I wont say much about the books except he plans for 7, and he has 4 out, the 5th will be out at the end of the year. the books are not kiddie fantasy, actions do have consequents.
