That's an interesting question. Darth_Katie Send a noteboard - 18/04/2011 04:33:48 AM
The story holds up well enough without it.


Would it? I am not so sure. I'm generally not a fan of pointless violence and sex, but I don't mind it if I think it adds meaningfully to the story. Now granted, I haven't finished the first book yet, so there might be a giant, extraneous orgy at the end that I haven't gotten to yet, but so far I think the violence and sex encountered has been well placed and valuable to the story. I think toning it down would remove a lot of the texture and general feel of the world, the characters, and the books.
Insert theme music here.

The original reviewer appears not only to be an outdated snob but an idiot DrJacJacMcScrumptious - 16/04/2011 11:51:29 PM 873 Views

Wow. Very opinionated. It would be offensive if I cared about what she thought but I don't. Tashmere - 18/04/2011 02:08:52 AM 865 Views

It would depend on how much detail they go into. Tashmere - 18/04/2011 10:01:58 AM 987 Views

I haven't ever had HBO so I don't know what to expect. Tashmere - 18/04/2011 09:57:27 AM 857 Views
It mostly irks me that women will read this and think, "I shouldn't bother with that show." Clover - 18/04/2011 07:07:13 AM 921 Views
