I wouldn't have rolled my eyes and sniggered quietly quite as often if the "I need to be epic" syndrome of the book had remained confined to the third person frame. But switching to a first person narrative makes passages such as ~I had perfectly smooth skin and a deep powerful voice and unmatched w...
I read this book because one of my dearest friends (she knows who she is) and I went to the bookstore one afternoon, and she said "you should read this." She then promptly attempted to talk me out of actually buying the book because "what if you pay money for it and then hate it????" I bought it any...
I heard a lot about this book and how great it supposedly should be. That always makes me very sceptical when I start reading it myself. Nevertheless, it DID turn out to be a great book; Patrick Rothfuss is a good storyteller and can smoothly blend different storylines together. It started out as a ...

Despite taking me forever to read (damn you, responsibilities!), I loved every minute of this book. Well done. Onto the next one before school starts again!

The story, in short, is about a man with a an infamous and near mythical reputation that tells his life story. The book consists out of two distinct story lines. The first, told in third person, concerns ...
I'm not sure what to call The Name of the Wind. To say it's simply a book is wrong. It's more. A story? A tale? An adventure? A journey? Yes, yes, and yes. I got lost in it, and days after finishing I still haven't completely found myself. Carried away? Engrossed? Enthralled? Captivated? Yep. Excit...
