Awesome Book
This book was recomended to me by my fiance and we bought the CD so we could sit and listen to it together. He had listened to it years ago, and couldn't stop talking about it. In fact, he talked about it sooo much, that I decided to buy it and listen for myself. It was well worth the buy. I cant wait to get the rest of the set!

READ IT!!!
This was by far one of my favorite books ever. My father tried to get me to read this book for years and I put it off until last summer. I read it nearly from cover to cover. I couldnt stop myself from reading. I literally would wake up, read it, take a nap and read it when I awoke.
The story is so engrossing and you can just feel what the characters are going through. This is a must read!

Absolutely worth the money
The book started off with actions right away. It's a change from many books that builds up slowly. This sucks you into the story right away. Before you know it, events start to unfold fast. I love the details of the main characters. Each of their emotions are carefully layed out for the readers to savor, to experience and immerse into each character, bad or good ones. I find myself constantly going back to previous pages to find clues relating to the events I was reading about. So I can totally understand it. Definitely a must read, besides The LOTR.

A great book! rich complicated characters that stay with you long after you've read the book. I consider this the best book out of his sword of truth books. Once again, great fantasy, great charcter development, a must read!
