I didn't mind FfC that much, but when it comes to series like this, my likes and dislikes do not extend to the books themselves, but to characters I like and don't like. I'm not a huge fan of where the stories of Sansa and Samwell are going, so with both playing prominent roles in this book, it was lessened somewhat. That, and I want to know what is up with Tyrion.
Similaraly, the scenes with Frodo and Samwell dragged LotR down for me.
It will be very interesting to see how they adapt these books. Glad that it is being adapted into a television series rather than a series of movies, as the stories are just far too massive to cut down into a 180 minute feature.
