Clash of Kings starts off a bit slow, so much set up. I am finally getting to where things are happening. I have never mentioned how awesome the chapter structure is with each being a characters viewpoint. I love finding out who will be next, "No! Not Sansa, damn it!" Or "Woohoo Tyrion!"

I just finished reading the third book. Best one in the series easily. You guys reading the series with me are going to shit your pants.
About a third of the way through the second book, Tyrion absolutely carries this novel. He is so awesome. Its quite amazing the giant chess game that has been created here. The writing in the book is so sharp, so witty at times especially with Tyrion's dialogue. And it is quite funny, here is one part that had me laughing:
And Cersei began to cry.
Tyrion Lannister could not have been more astonished if Aegon the Conquerer himself came bursting into the room, riding on a dragon and juggling lemon pies.
YES ! ! !
FINALLY I have a few minutes time to MYSELF ! ! !
I'm going to enjoy a BIG cup of COFFEE and read a CRAP-TON of Clash of Kings ! ! !
I am halfway through Clash and finally some crazy shit is going down. I was a bit disappointed by the book so far but it seems like things are really picking up. Season 2 of Game of Thrones must have been a pain in the ass to make cause so much is just political manuevering and it just seems slow to get anywhere. Also you basically hear everything second hand.
BTW I <3 Tyrion.
So Leo where are you now? Steel did you start book 4?
I'm reading at a much slower pace than the rest of you due to time constraints. I just finshed the part where Greyjoy meets his sister...
I heard the third book is the best and the fourth is a disappointment.
