Publisher's Summary
I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the university at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to Gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep.
My name is Kvothe. You may have heard of me.
So begins the tale of Kvothe - currently known as Kote, the unassuming innkeeper - from his childhood in a troupe of travelling players, through his years spent as a near feral orphan in a crime riddled city, to his daringly brazen yet successful bid to enter a difficult and dangerous school of magic.
In these pages you will come to know Kvothe the notorious magician, the accomplished thief, the masterful musician, the dragon-slayer, the legend hunter, the lover, the thief and the infamous assassin.
The Name of the Wind is fantasy at its very best.
Read by Rupert Degas.

Brilliant
This book makes me wish that I had given four stars to the books I had previously given five. This is five star standard.

Great
Brilliant book and very well read . It's a little slow at the start but it's well worth preserving. Looking forward to the next book.

The best audio book I've ever listened to
If you're a fan of fictional/fantasy stories than this is a necessity. Even if you're not, the story, writing and narration of this book are pretty incredible.
This series is up there with the Lord of the Rings and The Game of Thrones. It may never be the popular sensations they are, but it deserves to be, it's the best of the three.

Excellent story
Adored this book. I chewed through both this one and the next in the series and am now eagerly awaiting the 3rd in the series to come out. Patrick Rothfuss is an excellent author, I highly recommend.
