No offence Karsa but I'm not about to read one of your books. The fact that you don't like Martin's work just means that we have a difference of opinion. I am however, about to read NoK and that ICE has made these comments, leads me to believe I wont like his work, because I've done exactly what he did to Martin, Pre-judged him. Thus wasting someone's money.
