Once, when I picked up a book from the local library, the librarian asked to tell her what I thought about the book when I would bring it back. Well, why not write a few lines about all the books I read so everybody could see what I thought about it? I'm often also happy to have friends recommend a certain book or tell me this and that is not really worth reading. I won't comment about the tons of books I have read so far, but about books I read from now on.

Kvothe is the son of a trouper family, going from town to town, performing, moving on. He is a formidable actor. He is a great musician. And he is very bright.
When Kvothe sees someone call the name of the wind so the wind rushes to the aid of the caller, he wants to learn the names of things as well. He wishes to go to university to learn. He longs to have access to the huge library at the university. But the Chandrian meddles with his life. The way to university is hard. Staying at the university is hard. But hardest of all is the thirst for knowledge.
This story is fantasy, set in a time when people believe in daemons, but might be they are right in doing so. It is extremely well told and it keeps you turning page after page after page. Like the story itself, you can not do justice to the book by explaining about it, the only way to understand is to read it. I assure you, you will not regret it.
