Also, there's no George Martin in the original. And how in the hell the novel published in Europe equals one published "in Russia! And Japan". I know that your friends tried to adapt it, but looks like they overshot the goal in some places. Also-also, the layout sucks – often it's not clear which caption corresponds to which circle. The "art" is generic and probably scrapped from the Internet. Do you have any more substantial tales from the event, Cory?
