Horror's Greatest Hits
Paul asked this question about The Name of the Wind (The Kingkiller Chronicle, #1):
Anyone else notice the how the story line mimicked the wheel of time? I liked most of the story and there is plenty of original plot so I will recommend it but it was very similar to other books, just more condensed.

Alot of fantasy genre that I have read follows the Tolkien approach of farm lad saves the world. Kvothe doesnt seem to be the sterio typical unknowing farm lad. He is more of a child in to deep. His smarts have gotten him in trouble far more then Rand or Froto. I have wondered though how much of a fan Patrick is of WOT with using several of the key players names in his book though. Ecspecially with the Mayor Alverons first name being Rand, and his family having a powerful past. Either way I love tying my favorite books into each other and developing my own fantasy connections in my head. (less)
