R. Martin." And yet having read the book now I can't think of any other authors that make a better comparison. I believe I've recommended this book to about 30 people and it is quite possibly my favorite book. I just love Rothfuss' writing style. Outstanding.

I seem to see few of the others "just happen to" buy it as well. I thought that was weird... NOTW, Kvothe, the character has "human nature" to it. His has a kind heart, he is self aware, the charm, also a little selfish, but mostly selfless, the tragic past, true love, and the artistic talents. Oh I love those few moments of his artistic displays!!! Guess I’ll be re-reading it till the next one comes out. Does anyone know when? :) I happen to pass by a book shop, I happen to see this book on the new section, I don’t know why, but I just bought it and took it home.

I was just looking for a good read in the book store, I happened to pick this one up and fell in love with it. It is as good as Brian has said it is and possibly even better. His books were supposed to be published year by year because they are already written, but sadly, he has been short on time and needs to do more editing so it won't be coming out for another year! ='( I am pre-ordering it as soon as I can though, I can't wait!

I'm not gonna lie, I thought about this book for the next week the way you think of a beautiful girl you just met and want to see again. I picked it up not too long ago and can't put it down. I'm only half way through but dear lord I love this book, can't wait for the next 2 to come out. If you haven't picked this book up yet, do it, you won't be disappointed.

I haven't been able to put it down since. Mr. Rothfuss style is clean and beautiful and the story told is refreshingly down to earth and grounded in real human emotion.
