I agree whole-heartedly. I'm not even sure if its paperback buying material anymore. Aside from the length of time it has taken, book 4 was a disaster I had a hard time slugging through. The only way I'll read 5 is if it sits on top of the best seller list for say 6 months. It needs to be that good to make up for book 4. Even then I may wait it out to see if there will be a 6 and 7.
I cancelled HBO and won't watch the series either. Why watch a story that has no particular ending in sight??
