Query: I don't know what book they were reading, but

This whole series has been extremely long winded, ill edited, and an attempt at either soft porn or fantasy, and coming up short on at least the fantasy aspect. The story line is good, however, it is lost in a deluge of side stories that does nothing but water down the story line. A good editor could have pulled the same story together in 1/2 the pages. Martin must of been getting paid the old IBM programming way- by the line. Better then Tolkien? I think not.
