Summary: Awesome!
Review: I've read the entire series about seventeen times and am eagerly awaiting Faith of the Fallen, but Stone of Tears is most definately my favorite. I found book four in the grocery store and bought it because of it's cool cover (What can I say? I'm an eccentric teenage girl). I instantly became a hooked fan. I definately recommend this entire series to everyone!

Summary: Good, but WAY to drawn out.
Review: The Stone of tears is the second book in the Sword of Truth series and it is pretty good. Much more violent than the first one with way to many unneeded scenes that serve no purpose. There also other minor problems that don't help the book, and the end is WAY to drawn out. It's worth reading though.

Summary: My eyes hurt!
Review: That is a good thing. I just finished,not ten minutes ago, reading this book. The only bad things I have to to say is that My eyes hurt from reading so long. I started this book a week ago after reading the first in the series. Sunday morning I decided to read one chapter before I'd take a shower, soon that one chapter turned to two , then to three, then four. Before I could grasp what happend It was 12:31 monday morning. I am now going to take my shower and some advil because not once, while I was reading this 982pg. book, could I pull myself away from it to find my reading glasses which help me from getting headaches when I read for long times. I would suggest this book to anyone who loves a good story. Don't let the book's size scare you away from reading it. the story is so gripping that you will be done with in the time it took you to read 100pgs of a book assigned to you in highschool. But a warning to those who read this book; you will lose all sence of time and knowledge of what is going on around you. This book also did another thing to me besides taking my day away. It restored my trust in the fantasy genre which had been take away by a number of bad Fantasies I have come across resently.

Summary: Um, well, so maybe it doesn't deserve five stars...
Review: This book differs slightly from its pressesscor, Wizard's First Rule. While they both keep me involved, unlike other adult fantasies which usually are a long, hard, boring slog, (esp. The Sword of Shannara,) they could be slightly less graphic. At first I thought, "Okay, girl, this is what you get for reading adult novels," (I'm only eleven,) but then I saw a few other readers complaining. So I, too, cast my vote: less "nasty" stuff. The writing is extremely good and original, and I love the characters, but really, it could be changed...for the better.

Summary: graphic!
Review: I just finished stone of tears. I havent read any of jordan's books so i cant make the comparison like some do. I thought this book was more entertaining than the first one in all but one aspect. Some of the book was way to graphic and inappropriate. Terry could leave us to our imagination a tad bit more my eliminating some of the sexual perversions.

Summary: Worth the read
Review: First off, I'd like to say I'm tired of practically every reviews comparing Terry Goodkind's work to Robert Jordan's. Granted I've only read the 1st book in the WOT series, but even I can see major differences. Goodkind's books read much faster and keep me interested longer. I was able to grab hold of and enjoy learning about the characters in Goodkind's books and was eager to turn the pages to find out what happened next. I have no trouble look past the sado-eroticism and the sometimes extremely gruesome parts to get right down to the heart of the story.

Summary: A disappointment after a good start
Review: After having read all of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series to date, I saw way too many parallels in here for my tastes. This might be the weakest of the four books of the series that I have read. Still Goodkind is a solid writer that keeps things moving along, and the main characters are enjoyable.

Summary: Definately worth a look.
Review: While not as completely engrossing as the first book in the series, Wizard's First Rule, Terry Goodkind still does an excellent job with The Stone of Tears. The sequel brings again to the epic saga of Kahlan and Richard, who really ought to have sorted themselves out by now. Now we have Richard being captured by the mysterious Sisters of the Light so they can teach him to use his gift (magic). Goodkind gives the reader hints of Richard's past along with seductive hints about the Wizard's War that ravaged the land centuries before. This book is not the generic, money-making sequel that some authors rattle out by the thousand by taking some insignificant character from their first book and shoving them into the main plot line kicking and screaming. It answers questions from the previous novel and leaves the reader asking more. Definately worth a look.

Summary: keep them coming!
Review: This book was incredible! it was a fast-paced read like no other! I thought a second book couldn't be better than the first but this is equally as good if not better than Wizard's First Rule. Wow! all I can say is Terry Goodkind, keep em coming!

Summary: Nice Book
Review: Nice book. It has degrated little from the first of the series, Wizard's First Rule, but it still carries Goodkind's genuity. The only fault I could find was the sort of dropping off at the end. All the problems are solved within 50 pages and you don't get any more information on what happened to the imperial order. If the book continued to a longer length then it would earn the extra star. Some unexpected turns were taken and I was always craving to read more. The writing is good and fast paced but the map is indefinite at best. The writing truly is a great work and I hope it can be maintained in the next book's of the series which I am yet to read. If you read Wizard's First Rule, read this.
