Many people have raved on and on about the book. I read it, I figured out what was happening and was let down with the book in general. Then to top it off, right after I read it, I ventured into a Toys'r'Us store and low and behold, there it was on the rack for sale to beginning readers...pretty much adding insult to injury...:) Right now I am re-reading the Song of Ice and Fire books from George R.R. Martin, including Game of Thrones, Clash of Kings and Storm of Swords, in anticipation of the forth-coming Feast for Crows. IMHO, I think these are modern masterworks in the Fantasy genre. If you haven't read them, I highly suggest checking them out. When you read the first 100 pages of Game of Thrones (the first book), you will have a feeling that its no different than anything else in the genre, then the book really takes off and you cannot put it down.
