Ah, that's answered my question in the ASoIaF thread! It's certainly not to everyone's taste. Terribly brutal and sometimes can be really quite distressing, but nonetheless, I was hooked and totally compelled to keep on reading. It's a shame you can't get into it as I (and thousands more) do consider it to be something of a masterpiece. Plot intricacy, the likes of which I've never seen before,fantastic world-building and of course, those shock/horror moments! Oh and humour, there are some brilliant quotes and one-liners! But still, not for everyone and there's nothing worse than trying to plod through a book that isn't floating your boat at all!
