**2015 Reading Challenge W/Josh: #21 A Book Your Mom Loves (Our mom doesn't read so this will be a choose your own)**


This would have easily been a 5 star book if it didn't take so long to get good. I wasn't truly invested in the book until Kvothe made it to the university. Which wasn't until somewhere around 45%. Which is a lot of reading since the book is almost 700 pages. But I have to say once it got good it really got good. I went from "meh" to omg I can't put it down. And it stayed that way
