A horny teenager will write about sex like a horny teenager would. A modest family man will write about sex like a modest family man would. A nerd who likes sex will write about sex like a nerd who likes sex would.
You act like your required to respond, it's not like someone is holding a gun to your head(or for this thread's case, a knife to your throat) telling you to respond.It's completely up to you to respond and how you respond, and there is no acceptable excuse to that.

You guys probably don't need to use spoiler tags when discussing a book that came out 3 years ago.

It's possible Bran came to the North Grove, but I find it unlikely, probably just a different one. EDIT:SpoilerOh, and it had undead like Bran and his companions encountered and aweirwood tree. You had to enter the place from a cave too.
I guess that's what you have to resort to when you don't have any legitimate criticisms
Like I said--if I ever read the books, I will find every possible reason to hate the fuck out of it. Don't you worry.
