Oh Mr Martin, you make it hard for me. I started reading your book, because I heard your new release was due anytime (proving that I do not live under a rock). I suddenly realised that I had read it before. Many many years ago, with many many books in between then and now. So I have a problem, I obviously do not remember enough about the book to say I can launch into your new release with full knowledge of books past, it has been just too long. 
 Of course I am going to buy and read your new one, i have to, I love your work. But I wish you just could maybe, you know, kick into another gear for us. 
 I am now off to read as many reviews with spoilers as I can for this book so I can remember what happened.
