A review by mssarahdee
The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss

1.0

This book was like a conversation between two people with ADD. Lots of words are said, but no thoughts were actually complete.

I hated this story. I hated it so much I switched to the audio version and even that took me months to get through.
The author is overly verbose, spends way too much time on details that don’t add any value to the story, and he never actually gets to the point. Can anyone actually say what this book is about? What’s the main story being told here? This is a collection of tales about a man’s life in which you never get the completed story. Instead you get the start of a new story. There’s no sense closure about anything, and yet it’s not a cliff hanger, and certainly not enough interest to read any of the other books on this series.
I am shocked to se so many good reviews because this was by far the WORST book I’ve ever read (listened to).
