But I didn't like it, and I didn't get why everyone was fawning over it so much. Also Kvothe really really irritated me. Like a lot.
I hated The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn because I hate reading dialects written phonetically, and I hated Wuthering Heights because all the characters are so willfully stupid and nasty to one another. I also hated some book we read in grade school called The Door in the Wall because it was so damn boring and I wanted to punch the main character.
Oh, and I hated Eragon for being an overrated piece of derivative crap.
That's about it, I think.
