>Rothfuss often treads the thin line between prose and poetry
If you think this is acceptable then the downfall of Western civilization is on you
Aiden Clark
apart from that, it seems reasonable. it also pointed out a few flaws, the same I found when reading it.
I wouldn't have given 5 stars, but ratingt is very subjective.
Cooper Perry
The protagonist is a Mary Sue who can do anything, aimed at nerds who were bullied in highschool. It's nothing but wish fulfillment at the most base level. The writing is poor. The dialogues are uniform, i.e., all characters sound the same. This is, objectively, not a good book.

>objectively
>good
one of the only factors that can be regarded as truly objective for judging a book is the number of copies it sold.
>wish fulfillment
it does this very well. also, the third book will probably talk about how kvothe start failing at everything

the number of units sold is not a good factor to judge a book. it's just one of the very few (possible the only) objective factor, simply because it's one of the very few things we can objectively measure (sure, you can rank books by word count, but that would be even more meaningless).
that's why reviews don't just consist of a number. it's interesting to see how other people feel about a book. that doesn't make any opinion more valid that other opinions.
also, isn't it a bit egocentric to think that a book that has more than 400k votes on goodreads and has a very good rating of 4.55 is bad just because you think your judgement is better and everyone is an idiot? because that's how it feels to read your comments right now.
user, just have fun reading what you like, and let other enjoy what they like. that's what's important.
have a nice day!

Why read the reviews? The only thing Goodreads is good for is keeping track of what you've read and listing what you want to read.

>these genre fiction idiots are on Veeky Forums right now
The general was a mistake, just ban all of them.
Connor Cruz
Another classic of the genre
Jose Moore
nr of pages is another objective measure, # prices it won and goodreads rating are objective ratings too, just incredibly poor ones
Chase Sanchez
>that Dickens and Dostoevsky part
Michael Thomas
A piece of paper is enough for that. You don't need an account.
Asher James
Saw this review and noticed that he mentions his own book at the end of the of it. Hmmm....

Forgive my flagrant mobile posting by the way, computer broke.
Most of the reviews are positive and some of them suspiciously so, but they're not very interesting. Here's where things start to get interesting.

Thank you for posting all these, they're wonderfully bizarre
Lucas Bell
I'm glad user. There's really something about accidentally finding these kind of niche, taboo topics that grip themselves to certain kinds of strange people with something like their own world? I don't know how to describe it, it's magical
amazon.com
These reviews are hilarious, too

Is true cringe. I am a self-confessed pervert who doesn't mind watching a couple of sexy breasts/buttocks every now and then, but this whole 'female readers are sexy' stock photos make me cringe to orbit.
