    Book reviews are meaningless.

    I've said this around a few places and I guess it's a good time to say it here. I think we're entering the age of the 'super reviewer'. Whereby genuine, unbiased reviewers who build trust and respect, will dictate future bestsellers. While the dodgy or fake reviewers will become increasingly...

    Game of Thrones

    There were a lot of added sex scenes. Maybe they 'sexed it up' to get maximum ratings? I'm not prudish (well, not overly) but one of the scenes in the Brothel with Littlefinger gave me the irrits, it so obviously had no other purpose other than for the added perv value. I'm sure many wouldn't...

    Childhood favourites?

    I loved David Eddings books as a teenager. Recently I tried reading them again - the 'Elenium' series. I found it predictable and tedious. And I HATE the way he writes women! Talk about Madonna-whore complex!

    'Unoriginality'

    Yes but all the elements of that story would have been seen before - the evil antagonist, the dreamer, castles, dark forests, etc - you name it, it's been done.

    Which POV?

    I agree try the paragraph idea, I've seen it before and it works.
