Qualified Perceptions

Well, I probably would give it three and a half stars, because that's what I give stuff I thought was okay. But I'd use the same stars that I use for giving much of Picasso two stars, because I am not convinced of my judgement being better than other people's in this respect.

(On the other hand, Game of Thrones is one of my top favorite books; I'll concede that the later ones may have lost some focus, but I think the first one didn't ramble, it just covered a very large canvas.)
