Wonderful Read!

Man, I can't say enough good things about this book to do it justice. So, I won't even try.

I picked it up after reading so many great reviews and I wasn't disappointed. I couldn't put the book down. I can't wait for the next book in the series.

Outstanding!

I am deeply suspicious when I read so much praise about a new writer's work - I've been burned before by books that didn't come close to living up to the buzz. This one, however, more than lives up to it; it surpasses the paeans written to it. There have been many excellent reviews here, so there is no need for me to write more - you just need to get this book, if you read no other new fantasy writer this year.

Great story, beautifully written.

It's like Harry Potter, but without any of the flaws. It's beautifully written and makes HP look like Eragon by comparison. The story is totally believable - no ex machina BS here.

This book is a masterpiece. You must read it.

Excellent, extremely well written!

I loved this book, I read everything and in this genre and this is as good as it gets. Having read it just a few weeks ago, my only disappointment was finding out the sequel wasn't out yet!

Kvothe, Hero and Romantic Idiot

This was a vastly entertaining novel. In thinking about it, I think I've identified one of the elements that makes it so good. Yes, the hero is shaped in part by an early tragedy, an almost-necessary component of any epic story. But part of its enormous charm as a story is how little weight is given to mere coincidence. Almost all of the trouble Kvothe, the hero, gets into come as a result of his own actions. Come to that, most of the trouble the other characters find is a result of their actions as well. Certainly, not all of their problems were foreseeable, but they arose out of the choices people made. It's more fun than any novel of a character Pressed Into Heroism By Forces Out Of His Control. If Kvothe is a bit of a blockhead when it comes to romance, well, I sympathize.
