    It is a stupid question to begin with, and it was classy from George to give a straightforward answer, and maybe it would have been more classy to say that Aragorn would have won.

    But I don’t understand this antipathy towards George, he wrote some great groundbreaking fantasy novels just as Tolkien, and I’m happy I was able to enjoy both.

      I tried to read A Game Of Thrones and it was so boring. It didn’t stay with one character long enough for me to get invested in their story. Too many characters, and not enough writing skill to pull that number off.

      I think George should have written a few simpler novels to practice good writing before he went and did a big project like this.
