A review by thereadingrambler
The Slow Regard of Silent Things by Patrick Rothfuss
5.0
The fact that there are so many reviews talking about how awful this book is and ragging on Rothfuss for not getting done quicker , just affirms for me that he is doing something right and that there is something special about him. When is genius truly recognized in its own time? When we people truly able to realize how great something is in its moment? And as far as time...Tolkien took 16 years to write Lord of the Rings, with multiple years between each book. People really need to calm down.
As for this book, it is amazing and beautiful. If you don't like this book then you fall into the category of people who are not broken and misplaced and trying to sort their way through the world like Auri is. And I don't think that there are many people that are like that really. Rothfuss is seeing himself in Auri and would we want Rothfuss's mind to be completely accessible to everyone? This book takes after the likes of Joyce and Faulkner, falling into a grand tradition of authors who break outside of the mold and create beautiful things.
