Be warned, there are some major spoilers in the review for those who have yet to read books 3 and 4.

It is for readers wanting more of ASoS' pace. But Feast covers a time period that sees a lull in action, so there's less going on. And it covers less interesting PoVs. That said, there are some really good scenes in the book that I've enjoyed rereading a few times.
Yeah from what I can tell he split it down the middle between characters we care about and characters we don't really care about, and FfC takes on the latter. Of course I've only just started SoS; perhaps my opinions of the FfC characters will change over these next 1000 pages 
I think HBO has officially stated season 2 is 10 episodes. Not that I don't agree with you, I've told my wife that so much subtext is lost translating the books over to TV it's not funny. Imagine if it'd been a 3-hour movie.
Got an email from Amazon this morning, my copy of Dance has shipped for tomorrow's release date. I plan on disappearing for a few days once I lay hands on it.
Hell, I think it's the best fantasy series published in my lifetime (I've yet to read Potter).
My copy crawled from Lexington, KY, to Dayton, OH, through the night via UPS. Probably won't arrive until 6 or 7 tonight, typical timeframe for UPS in my neighborhood, so today's lunch break will be a trip over to the local bookstore so I can read a few chapters.
I saw some who live close to Amazon warehouses talking about getting it yesterday. So painful, that burning sensation of jealousy I rarely feel in my chest.
Some 180 guys got it accidentally shipped weeks ago
For some reason the internet behaved itself though and I haven't seen any spoilers posted in frequented places. Somewhat surprising actually, considering that its popularity is rising thanks to the TV show, although still not nearly as high as Potter levels...

No, actually major spoilers were released. There was an article on CNN's site talking about two main culprits: a young guy in AU and a 18-19yo in KY. But the publishers worked with the dedicated sites to shut the spoilers down fast and I avoided such sites over the last two weeks.
As I wrote upstream, I read the first 4 chapters at a local store on my lunch break today. The prologue, which is true to form, and one chapter each for the three main PoVs, though all were previously-made-public sample chapters. Fifth chapter is one for Bran that begins with a, "Are we there yet?" I laughed, but didn't have time to read it.
