I am also currently reading this book. Martin is pretty good.

And as you rightly pointed out, each character is grey. Though he is on the side of the Lannisters, I seem to have taken a liking to the "Dwarf".

Cheers,

Another similar style of writing is that of nevil Shute. He keeps changing the person of the narrator.
In a book called "A town like Alice" it starts of as a first person narrative, suddenly transforms (seamlessly, I might add) to third person narrative, back to first person accounting and also incredibly smooth flowing lines and language.
One of my best authors.

Sumit, I too enjoy Tyrion a lot. He seems to be the only sane person in King's Landing!

Thanks for the recommendation, Ravages. Will definitely try to find that book after I am done with Martin!

I remember Guy Gavriel Kay using a similar style in Tigana .

Thats another good book, highly recommended.
Kay's fantastic story telling coupled with
the Historical perspective in his books
places him right up there with Martin in the
list of best fantasy authors.

Rohit, Guy Gavriel Kay's work looks really interesting! Wil try to get some of his books.
So much to read and learn, so little time :(
