"Not as strong of a finisher" may be the understatement of the year Tom Send a noteboard - 04/08/2021 06:48:03 PM

You do realize you softened what should by all rights be harsh criticism, right? If something finishes poorly it reflects poorly on the entire process.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

WRONG! Book 4 and 5 are Fabulous, and the prequels are more fun as individual stories Roland00 - 02/08/2021 07:13:02 PM 170 Views

We Must Imagine Martin [ Happy ] ? Roland00 - 02/08/2021 11:07:36 PM 150 Views
RJ not for dying, but instead for giving us books 7 to 10 (I never did 11) Roland00 - 02/08/2021 07:10:33 PM 179 Views
If Jordan had died after Book VI and the series remained unfinished, it would have been better Tom - 02/08/2021 08:02:11 PM 179 Views
We agree in a lot with this Roland00 - 02/08/2021 11:06:26 PM 135 Views
I notice you also un-corrected my corrected "Georgerr Martin" Tom - 04/08/2021 07:10:50 PM 248 Views

Very good point Tom - 04/08/2021 06:46:14 PM 219 Views
Martin has definitely frustrated his fans and tested their patience far more... Legolas - 03/08/2021 09:05:21 PM 194 Views
Remember in 2019 he said his fans can lock him up in a cabin if Book 6 was not out by mid 2020 Roland00 - 04/08/2021 02:06:24 AM 155 Views

another good point damookster - 04/08/2021 06:58:32 PM 165 Views
Brazil started well against Germany for the first 10 minutes of the 2014 World Cup too Tom - 04/08/2021 07:09:11 PM 203 Views
Well, okay, so far I guess he's not a finisher at all, strong or otherwise. Legolas - 07/08/2021 06:20:39 PM 157 Views
I think Martin's problem is being a perfectionist. AgentApple - 15/08/2021 01:01:03 PM 131 Views
Maybe if he were good at writing... *NM* Ghavrel - 16/08/2021 09:15:30 AM 156 Views
