Sanderson only read A Game of Thrones before deciding to stop reading the series.

If we have that in common I am more impressed by him.


I've been to a few of his signings (it's nice living just a few hours away from him) and twice he was asked by someone near me something regarding Martin's books. He explained that he read the first and decided that he didn't like certain themes in the book. He said that it was really well written, but he won't read any more.

I don't know if that counts as "on the record" but it's enough for me.

In a board filled with crap, this still wins the prize as one of the stupidest ideas out there. Tom - 13/04/2012 02:31:25 AM 1336 Views
You're thinking of Terry Goodkind beetnemesis - 13/04/2012 04:45:05 AM 1565 Views
Definitely true. And GRRM wrote Eye of the World. Vidarfe - 13/04/2012 01:38:24 PM 1282 Views

No but they are in the same beard club. I can see where you got confused *NM* Dark Knight - 14/04/2012 06:03:28 PM 633 Views
No, but Brandon Sanderson is writing the last two. *NM* Cannoli - 16/04/2012 01:51:02 PM 703 Views
I know you're being facetious, but in all honesty this would not surprise me. *NM* Myrdhyn - 17/04/2012 07:31:45 PM 728 Views
It would very much surprise me. Kaldric - 18/04/2012 02:08:09 PM 1187 Views

Though some of it is second hand, my impression of ASoIaF is that it DEFINES "gratuitous violence." Joel - 11/05/2012 12:19:49 AM 1351 Views
