This is my second time reading this one. My book club chose well. I really like Abercrombie's writing. I haven't had a chance to read his newest series yet and I am curious.

The book is pretty funny, especially if you read fantasy fiction. The move was the typical "hollywood found bestseller and made it into a move" piece of garbage. It is a retelling buy unfortunately it doesn't count for the task because it isn't on the main page.
