It's not like it's a literary achievement in any way, shape or form. As such, I highly support people who just watch the TV show which, honestly, seems superior to the books.

I for one am never buying another book by Martin as long as the TV show covers the action for that book. Given his glacial pace of writing, the TV show should be wrapping up the last season by the time he gets around to the penultimate (maybe) book.

Save your precious reading time for something worth reading from a stylistic and aesthetic point of view (Hanna Montana, for example).

Firstly, Camilla is a she. Secondly, though I won't speak for her, regarding the rape in the novels, Ghavrel - 14/08/2012 02:23:19 AM 2289 Views
When does he use rape in an erotic manner? A Deathwatch Guard - 14/08/2012 05:48:59 AM 2140 Views

How is that a violent rape? At worst it would be statutory rape. Cannoli - 17/08/2012 11:53:44 AM 2212 Views
The wedding night is statutory. I would describe the later rapes as fairly violent. Camilla - 17/08/2012 12:13:26 PM 2242 Views
That was her only sex scene, until she induces him to have outdoor sex to get pregnant Cannoli - 17/08/2012 07:20:09 PM 2235 Views
It is not necessary to provide a scene Camilla - 17/08/2012 10:49:20 PM 2136 Views
I believe that what is happening here is called confirmation bias *NM* Kotagg - 21/08/2012 06:23:38 PM 1192 Views

I think you misread one part Dark Knight - 14/08/2012 04:51:34 PM 2342 Views
I think that the Rhaegar and Lyanna stuff does look like rape in the first book Stephen - 14/08/2012 08:10:27 PM 2141 Views
"Looks like" is this case meaning "explicitly stated to be that way"? Cannoli - 17/08/2012 11:56:48 AM 2094 Views

I think the TV series handles the problematic Dany/Drogo relationship better Werthead - 17/08/2012 12:20:16 AM 2243 Views
Re: I think the TV series handles the problematic Dany/Drogo relationship better Camilla - 17/08/2012 06:40:12 AM 2129 Views
I think it messed it up by showing forced intercourse without the verbal consent Drogo DID obtain Cannoli - 17/08/2012 12:07:14 PM 2196 Views
I still find it difficult to read it as anything other than a coerced consent Stephen - 17/08/2012 01:08:15 PM 2051 Views
A perpetrator-less crime then. Cannoli - 17/08/2012 07:26:26 PM 2184 Views
Exactly! I'm on board, Cannoli. Kotagg - 18/08/2012 07:45:56 PM 2045 Views

Perhaps if reading other people's views makes you so angry, you should avoid reading them? *NM* snoopcester - 19/08/2012 02:37:03 PM 1131 Views

Don't lock it! Dan - 21/08/2012 05:11:34 AM 1148 Views
Yes, I'm aware, or I might have locked it already. Legolas - 21/08/2012 06:17:29 PM 1017 Views
I'd ask that you do lock it. Stephen - 21/08/2012 10:00:48 PM 1086 Views
