A Game of Thrones: The Story Continues. 7 Volumes Boxed Set (A Song of Ice and Fire) Paperback – July 12, 2012

Amazon Japanへ、この商品の名前は絶対ダメです。お客さんを間違えさせる上、嘘な品名です。マーティン氏は今まで5冊を出版にして、残りの2冊まだ書き終えていないそうですから、英語の品名「Set of all 7 books」の代わりに、違う品名にしていただければ、カスタマーをダマすつもりはないとはっきり分かるんです。The novel :I started to read "A Song Of Ice And Fire" a few weeks ago and I'm almost done with the first tome. This book is amazing and I just hope that the following volumes will be as promising (and rejoycing) as the first is. There is not a single paragraph too many, everything is just where and how it should be to keep the reader reading and wanting (or better say burning) to know the rest of the story. Every character has a clearly defined personality yet they evolve through the chapters and become denser every page. Well, no need to add more to this : if you like fantasy and intricate narratives and plots mixing eagerly knightly battles, royal court plots, treason and vengeance, family secrets, and so much more, well, then this one is definitely for you!The set :You will get a beautiful hard paper box filled with seven books + a map of the imaginary world where the characters evolve. These books are bigger than the ones of the Bantam Edition (the popular Tie-in edition). The paper is of way better quality than the Bantam's and far more legible, in terms of font and spacing. Bantam books are cheap, in all aspects. It's good to start with when you don't know whether or not the book is going to match your fancy tastes. AFAIMC, I started with the Bantam edition but the Harper Voyager's is definitely the best on the market up to now.WARNING !!But, keep in mind that this beautiful set in not flawless, though. Just like some other customers mentioned in their review (very helpful, btw), Amazon is misleading a huge number of people into thinking that this set is the ultimate edition with all the 7 volumes of the novel. The set is advertised as "the story continues", and it comes in a somewhat conspiscuous 7 volume edition, indeed. Yet, all the fans know that, eventually, Martin will finish his epic novel with another two volumes, added to the 5 existing now. So, in this box-set, you will not get more than the 5 volumes that have been released up to now : VOLUME 2 AND VOLUME 5 ARE DIVIDED INTO TWO PARTS, MAKING IT 7 BOOKS. Don't be mislead by the treacherous denomination of the product.Apart from that, I strongly recommend this product. Just AMAZING!!!!!!
