I LOVED this book holy crap, the writing style is great ( I am a sucker for lyrical writing)
  • I like how unreliable kvoth is, I can understand how it could be annoying, but to me it adds another layer of mystery on
  • I also love how it focus on real issues like the whole struggling with money thing was kind of comforting to me as someone who grew up dirt poor,
  • BUT kvoth is just a little bit of a Mary Sue I wish there was a little bit more consequences to his reckless actions
  • Again this writing style is amazing I would read this man writing about someone taking a dump and I know it would still be captivating.
