review 1: I love the George R.R. Martin epic Song of Ice and Fire. And I can appreciate a good parody once in a while, even if made of one of my favorite books. However, I can't put my finger quite on why, but this book was just OK. Since it was unauthorized, I guess, they had to change a lot of the names, but usually you could figure out who was who...they opted to make Tyrion a giant instead of a dwarf, for one example. But, taking Bran, and making him Allbran, and full of flatulance was just not that humorous to me. The other thing I didn't like was the author would bring up references to "the show" or HBO, or the book in first person from the characters POV. While that can be creative, I felt they did it too much (kind of like the Allbran character farting all the time). ... moreAlso, not sure where this came from, but making Catelyn a stoner who loves to smoke weed all the time...well, maybe I like her real character too much for that. If you are interested in reading this for yourself, and can find it for $1 on clearance, go for it...I wish I hadn't paid $5 for it, myself.
review 2: It was a great funny book. The reason people don't like it is because they haven't read many fantasy books. You need to have a sense of humor to read this book. Read this book if you are a geek, read this book if you like star wars, lord of the rings, game of thrones, and harry potter, but DON'T read this book if you have no sense of humor or if you take jokes too seriously. It's a very funny book, it's just people who read it take things too seriously. Get over it. Its hilarious. less
