| Patrick Rothfuss: The Name Of The Wind I just finished this book a couple of days ago. I LOVED it. It is hard to describe, so I'm just going to say, check it out. The author (Patrick Rothfuss) has a website (and a blog, which is quite entertaining): http://www.patrickrothfuss.com/

| Oh, wow, glad to hear this! I picked this book up a few weeks ago, totally on a blind buy. The blurb sounded interesting, so I bought it. I haven't read it yet, so it's good to hear that it may not have been a waste of money! |

| It is definitely not a waste. You'll be very glad you bought it, I'm sure.

| Anyone had a chance to read this recently? What are your thoughts? The second book is coming out in April.

| I liked it a lot. I'm not happy with how it ended. Without spoiling anything, it felt like the ending would have worked better as the beginning of the next book. It just didn't "fit". |

| I'm reading it at the moment. The prologue was really good so far, it's got a good and solid grip on the reader on the first page, let's see how the rest is - though I cannot imagine it could be getting bad - what's about the second book? When will it arrive?

| I read 100 pages then quit. I think I might try to pick it up down the road. |
