    Certain writers inspire me to write

    But it's guys like Goodkind that make me think I can make a living as a writer

    I mean if this motherfucker's books sell like hotcakes, standards can't be that high
    Unfortunately, this philosophy rarely, if ever, pans out.

    seriously, fuck goodkind, he's a cunt and i hope he burns in a pony-tail related house fire.

    Yeah, I can back this up

    I think my mind blocked out most of the series due to weird sexual fantasies being presented to me every book

    and this is how I still don't know shit about the internet

    I read the first 5 chapters of this book as per OPs link.

    I hate you, I need more. But it's 5:00am and the bookstore is CLOSED.

    If you do not like it, Then do not fucking read it. Twerps like you make reading a good author almost impossible. Weak minded individuals who would prefer to get the story from your misrepresented point of view can suck dick as well. I hope like hell you actualy paid for the book and regret it from your words on it. I have read cover to cover The Law of Nines and it is in essence pure Goodkind. I am a fan of his and relish all his works as what they are: Fictional writing from a very creative author. You on the other hand read little more than the synapses and think you are fucking educated in the work of this author. Get real kid and read the whole thing before you try knocking the story which does in fact have to do with the Sword of Truth. I hope for the sake of all readers (true readers) that you will in fact finish the book and repost if you do not like the story that is fine. Every one is entitled to an opinion from time to time. but at least give a book more than a few chapters to prove it self, Damn.

    I guess that doesn't work because he was a well written and knowledgeable person.

    You're just all monster.

    Most fantasy writers do have punchable faces.

    So depressing.

    I still think all of the Dark Tower series was pretty rad
    Agreed. The whole "Dr. Doom and Harry Potter" thing didn't do much for me, but other than that I liked the last 3 books. It takes a wild swing from what the other books were, so it took some getting used to, but I dug it. Doesn't seem to be the consensus among King/Dark Tower fans though. Oh well!

    they're not awful, but he really should have wrapped it up in book 5. oh well.

    now Goodkinds bullshit got plain offensive to me as a reader after book two, and i was hating his guts by the end of the fourth.

    They should let the good ones stay.

    He might be a good author, but he doesn't respond so well to criticism
