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 ...

This was a wonderful read bringing in magic, and an almost Renaissance feel to when the story takes place. Each book in the series is one day in the character's life.

There has been a lot of positive attention for this book, and I must say that it's warranted. 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...
