Just to toss out another opinion on this book; this was the worst book
that I've ever finished.  It wasn't bad enough to make me give up on
it completely, I guess I just kept waiting for it to get good.  
Admittedly fantasy is my least favorite form of fiction but this book
borderlined on what Roger Ebert likes to call "The Idiot Plot".  If any
one of the main characters acted sensibly during the first half of the
book, the book would have been over.  After all the good things I'd
heard about the book, I was definitely disappointed.

It does have a great opening sentence though.
