Summary: A well-written book leaving you on the edge of your seat.
Review: Wizrd's First Rule is an unbelievable book. Terry Goodkind places you, with Richard Cypher in the a peaceful world. This peaceful world is shattered asunder when he finds a beautiful and mysterious lady, Kahlan. Plunged into a magical part of world, which he knows nothing about (Magic or that part of the world), Richard finds himself battling new creatures, meeting new friends and enemies, being made into a tortured slave, and finally battle the most strongest wizard is all the lands. I enjoyed and highly recommend Wizard's First Rule to anybody wo enjoys action, adventure, mystery, love, and fantasy. The best part is that even though it does finish one particular story, it leaves you knowing that there will be another. The story itself is complete and I have found that many of me friends who have read the first book, are immediately undetachable from Terry Goodkind's mystical world. And just what is the wizard's first rule? Read the book!

Summary: Might have been a good book 20 years ago
Review: I usually don't comment on books I didn't like, but Iwas expecting something more than I got out of _Wizard'sFirst Rule_. It's just an adventure story, warmed-over Tolkien--period. No subtext, no human-feeling themes, no panache. Twenty years ago when _everyone_ wasn't writing pure high fantasy, it might have fit in--but we've gone beyond that now, and Goodkind is lagging. He may make money, but I doubt anyone takes him as seriously as they would Stephen Donaldson or William Gibson. When it comes down to it, this book was just plain empty.

Summary: Best book ever written. Read it and find out more.
Review: Terry Goodkind created a world that will swept readers from their seats. Richard and The Mother Confesser with the old wizard battled for truth. Many adventures, many places, and many interesting people. So read it, it's the best, best, best book in market.

Summary: Great Book! It Moves! Not wordy. Just excellent writing!
Review: This is a great book for all Fantasy readers. The plot evolves quickly. The world opens before your eyes. Its exciting. The characters are original. And its excellent concise writing, not full of unneeded descriptions of the landscapes for pages and pages. If you love Fantasy, you will love this book

Summary: This was the best book that I have ever read!!
Review: I don't care what any of you have to say. I don't normally read books, but after I picked up this one and read the first two pages, I never put it down. This story starts off very fast moving and keeps you sweating. You might say this about any book, but The Wizard's First Rule never stops with the intensity. All of the way to the very last page you are sitting on the edge of your seat. I want anyone who doesn't believe me to pick up a copy of this book and read the first chapter. Then tell me if you can put it down

Summary: Opinion of the Book
Review: This has to be one of the best two fantasy books of all time. The reason It isn't the best book of all time is because the sequel is it's equal. This book will captivate you from the start, and never let go until the end. You will be amazed by the author's understanding of pain, suffering, love, and life. If you haven't read this book, do so A.S.A.P

Summary: Storytelling Sucks
Review: Goodkind a better story-teller? Come on! His charactersare from a comic strip...Richard=Dick Tracy! The bookis boring and sappy...if you think falling all over one another and saying "oh, I love you!" is character development, then you better read something else--like Stephen Donaldson. Richard is a horny little bog-muffin without any taste...just like most of the teenagers he's supposed to represent. Geesh.

Summary: What are you talking about???
Review: What are you talking about? OK I can't take this after reading a bunch of the reviews I feel myself driven to respond. To all those people who seem to think this is just a re-hash or rip off of some other book. Well of course it is doen't you know THERE ARE NO NEW STORIES ONLY BETTER STORY TELLERS!!! And Terry Goodkind is one of those. Now for all you long winded loving Robert Jordan fans all I can say is if you want page after page of of what colour someones dress is and where exactly the lace is than by all means enjoy the Wheel of Time series. Now for you out there who enjoyes page after page of charactor developement please pick up a Terry Goodkind book. He can tell a story and get you involved with the charactors in the story and have you turning the next page with a willing grin.
