My name is Kvothe. You may have heard of me. So begins a tale told from his own point of view - a story unequaled in fantasy literature. Now in The Wise Man’s Fear, Day Two of The Kingkiller Chronicle, Kvothe takes his first steps on the path of the hero and learns how difficult life can be when a man becomes a legend in his own time.

Need a finale! Need the trilogy!
Revisado: 05-27-21
I absolutely loved this book, it was the best of Rothfuss and it has everything you could want from a fantasy novel! The story itself is an amazing sequel to the first part, but it has the awkward issue of a weird fixation on sex in the last half of the book. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm no prude, but good lord there is such a major fixation on how often he gets laid, how good he is, how his partners appreciate his special moves. It's just awkward.
Regardless of all that, this is an excellent second book in the trilogy and I can't wait to see what Patrick Rothfuss comes up with next!

George Orwell's classic satire of the Russian Revolution is an intimate part of our contemporary culture, quoted so often that we tend to forget who wrote the original words! This must-read is also a must-listen!

It's a Classic Tale, you can't go wrong.
Revisado: 11-16-19
Literally the most interesting, shortest, and yet most enrapturing stories you could ever hear. I mean, it's Animal Farm, it's literally the very strange and concerning story of how the Bolsheviks... I mean the Animals took over Russia... I mean Manor Farm and Stalin rose to power... wait, I mean Napoleon rose to power...
Ralph Cosham reads Animal Farm with a multitude of endearing voices, great emotion, and intelligent diction. He does this Orwellian classic all the due honor and dignity it deserved.

Long acknowledged as a master of nightmarish vision, H.P. Lovecraft established the genuineness and dignity of his own pioneering fiction in 1931 with his quintessential work of supernatural horror, "At the Mountains of Madness". The deliberately told and increasingly chilling recollection of an Antarctic expedition's uncanny discoveries - and their encounter with an untold menace in the ruins of a lost civilization - is a milestone of macabre literature.

H.P. Lovecraft at its finest, minor audio snafus.
Revisado: 09-18-19
H.P. Lovecraft is wordy and brilliant with horror and sci-fi. His long, meandering, seemingly endless descriptions of alien and wholly psychosis inducing planescapes and monsters gives a new world that exists within our own. The book itself is a great tale of a daunting trek into the unknown. A reliable narrator (the character within the story itself) uses every bit of scientific research to explain the horrors and curiosities before him.
The Narrator (for the audiobook) is wholly adequate although he seems to repeat himself at times towards the end (like he's made a mistake and the mistake was not edited out of the final recording). At one point during the recording you can definitely hear a train horn in the background that pulls your attention almost entirely away from the speaker. Towards the very last chapters, the speaker himself at one point has at least one very random outburst. It's almost as if it was an incidental cut that was left in and I'm not sure if it exists in the book itself since it is much different from every other point in the narration.
