The Sword of Truth books are almost the exact opposite of an impressionist painting. Up close it looks pretty good, but when you start looking at the whole thing, it gets pretty fuzzy. At least Goodkind tries to say something in his books, lately. They all have different messages. Don't agree with them, exactly, but, still. Now, what I want to know is, what the heck is up with that ponytail? ________________ I wanna feel the metamorphosis and cleansing I've endured within my shadow. Change is coming. Now is my time. Listen to my muscle memory. Contemplate what I've been clinging to. -Tool, "Forty-Six & Two" <i></i> |

I read Wizards First Rule when i was about 14, i loved it at the time, but now when i read it again i find it as unbearable as WoT. Predictable, unrealistic and sometimes childish characters with subplots coming out of their arses. There is not much in these books, but they follow the usual tradition of managing to get at least 600 banal pages out of each release, i don't know, i guess it's good for marketing somehow? Goodkind tries to be a bit more grown up in his themes and actiony bits than Jordan (not that hard), but it is still just another gloss filled, pulp fantasy series. yawn. <i></i> |

Were my eyes deceiving me or did I see a Goodkind book as the #1 fiction bestseller in the paper yesterday? ***** Before, you are wise; after, you are wise. In between you are otherwise. Fravashi saying (from the formularies of Osho the Fool) <i></i> |

I stopped reading them after the aforementioned Pillars of Creation ~ one of the few authors and series I have ever just given up on ~ but he is still writing them, I believe he has a new one quite recently out, and yes - I do think it is on the best seller lists. ****************************************************** Our lives are the songs that sing the universe into existence.~David Zindell <i></i> |

Can you believe there is a TV series based on his series which will be on air in November? I wonder if they will show the chapters' worth of S&M torture with the electric buttplug from the first book?  Or the orgy with the evil sorcoresses with the monster with the barbed penis? Or the evil chicken which was not a chicken? Or the guy who rapes and tortures elderly women?
