Rating: Summary: better than I could do, at any rate Review: Not a bad read. As other reviewers have said, it is a bit long and boring at times. Tighter editing would have solved that problem. The book could have been half the size and much better. Good bits: Well drawn characters who become almost real to one. I could see them all in my mind, and I too was moved to tears sometimes. Bad bits: Sloppy editing leaves too much slush in the story. And the violence. Please! Way too much, and sooo unnecessary. I have got an imagination, and don't need it all spelt out.
Rating: Summary: E X C E L L E N T ! Review: I am a fan of Terry Goodkind and all his wonderful books, I was eager to review his work, hoping to encourage future would be readers to get themselves a copy. However I was most dismayed when I found other reviews were not so glowing. Reviewers who have offered their own opinions about the Sword of Truth series, have been cut to pieces personally, targets because another person did not agree with what another has written. Whether for or against the series, I feel that reviews should be limited to the book concerned and not with the person writing the review, we are all intitled to our own opinion. So to end on a positive note I Loved Stone of Tears, sharing the experience of following Richard and Kahlan through their many adventures, triumphs and tragedies, my favourite character would have to be Gratch, wish I had a Gar. Get a copy whether you buy or borrow it, READ STONE OF TEARS and make up your own mind! ENJOY!
Rating: Summary: sword of truth rules Review: this book is the perfect sequel to Wizard`s First Rule. And if W.F.R. was an exelent book, you can imagine how S.O.T. will be. I am a big fan of terry goodkind`s novels, and read w.f.r. by coincidence, now thanks to that accident I discovered some great novels. I respect the decision of those who say that these novels are too violent, all I have to tell them is `great novels as these are not for everyone. I also like the saga wheel of Time and Tolkien`s novels. Terry rules.
Rating: Summary: THE BEST BOOK EVER Review: i have just emerged from 2 solid days and nights of reading S.O.T i have in the past 2 days had 3 hours sleep i just could not put it down it is toones better than W.F.R even though that was amazing it made me laugh shout and screamand also cry i was crying my heart out in the end i recomed this to everyone but read W.F.R first. This book has changed the way i see the world PLEASE READ IT you wont regret it!
Rating: Summary: Out standing Review: This series so far is outstanding. It was so good it kept from preparing for my exams. The only thing i didn't like about it is Richard and Kahlans life it terrible. Will they ever be at peace. In fact events go from bad to worse. But i think that is what makes the book so good.
Rating: Summary: This saga has gotten even better Review: If you enjoyed the first book in this series then you will most certainly enjoy this one. In fact, I found it to be even better than the first one. The characters are all very well written and it flows along nicely. Plenty of action, yet Goodkind still finds the time to go into detail about his world and really make it come alive. The plot gets even more interesting and looks to continue that way into the next book. I have to say that I loved this book and have put it on my list of rereads in the future. If you haven't read the first book don't wait any longer, go get it. And while you're there pick up the second book as well. Very well done epic.
Rating: Summary: Even worse than the first one Review: My oh my. This book is a complete waste of time and money. Even writing this review feels like that. WFR was not good, but SOT is really bad. I expected Goodkind to become better after his first novel, but was disappointed. I'm so sorry that I purchased all 4 Volumes of the series at once. Those of you who think that Jordan's Wheel of Time is a masterpiece will like it though. But let me tell you: Wheel of Time is not a masterpiece - not even a good book.
Rating: Summary: Terry Goodkind is the best! Review: Stone of Tears is just as exciting and on going action as the first book Wizard's First Rule, Terry is the Creartor himself in the art of wrting and the TRUTH of life! I recommend this book to everyone, there's so much to learn! Tanxxxxxxxxxxxx Terry for sharring your world with us!
Rating: Summary: First fantasy series Review: Excellent! I can't say enough about this series. This is my first sample of the fantasy genre (series) and I have to say it's going to be a tough act to follow. Great characters you care about, dialogue and epic plot which moves along quite quickly. Plenty of action and gore as well. Better than the first book. Can't wait for the rest of the series.
Rating: Summary: Mick's Ultimate review Review: This book has to be the best book I've ever read. Comprised of intense and emotional violence, extreme and tantalizing magic and fantasy as well as thick, heated feelings and love as well as hate. I am a writer myself and I have been inspired by this book as well as all the rest of the books. The author, Terry Goodkind, has a gift unlike any other. He has the ability, magic within itself, to produce words and images on paper that seem to engulf you within the book and send you into a vortex that takes you to a new world where your thoughts are limited only by the amount of pages and the amount of imagination you have. In all aspects, this is a book for any fantasy loving reader...
