Summary: One of the best I've read!
Review: Goodkind's stories have a hint of our own world in it. Look closely. Look how people believe wrongly because that was how they were taught. It's amazing. Goodkind has taken that and put it into one of the best books I've ever read (the whole series, I should say). The plot has twists and turns no reader would expect, making you flip pages through the night, desperately wanting to read more. The plot is fast-paced, too! The only problem is that some readers might be offended at some of the more... "graphical" details, but my advice is to read ahead, since you don't really need to read it to understand the story. Read his other two books first if you haven't already, or if you want to, read this first. Just as long as you read his series!!!

Summary: Only do Audio and this was lousy
Review: PLEASE go back to Brilliance Corp. This audio version was the pits. I would purchase it again if you can get the rights released and retaped by Brilliance. For those of us who only do Audio the complete word for word is the only way to go and I hope book #5 is unabridged.

Summary: Another great book to add to the Sword of Truth series.
Review: Anyone who has read the other books of the Sword of Truth will find that this is still up with the standard Terry Goodkind set for himself when he wrote Wizard's First Rule and Stone of Tears.

Summary: A bump in the road of an enjoyable series
Review: I generally don't delve into fantasy, but stumbled across the "sword of truth" series while working in a bookstore. Although Terry Goodkind certainly holds no mastery of language, he does know how to weave an intriguing tale. After gobbling "Stone of Tears" down in one weekend, "Blood" was a bit disappointing. The rehashing of events gets a bit trying. After a while, it's like, stop wasting all this time..I UNDERSTAND. Also, the way Richard acted when he found out he knew a lesbian was sooooo out of sync with everything else. It seemed like, mid story, Mr. Goodkind decided to "sneak" a message of tolerance in to his readers. Awkward. It also seems forced to romantically link way too many of the tale's players. On the other hand, character development, unpredictability, and a little less mooniness between Richard and Kahlan did make the story enjoyable. Hopefully "Temple" will have less rehash and more active reading.

Summary: This book follows the path of greatness Tolkien took,
Review: I was captivated by this book. Goodkind's writing is extraordinary. I started to read the series as just a little hobby but now i can't stop. It's like I'm adiicted to Goodkind. GIVE ME MORE!!

Summary: Spellbinding. An absolutely riviting book.
Review: When I first read Wizard's First Rule, I thought, 'How can there be a sequel? This to me seems like the ultimate conclusion. The greatest threat ever to walk the fantasy plains.' How wrong was I? Very. Terry Goodkind's masterful work on Stone of Tears caused me to finish this book faster than the first. The Keeper to be unleashed. I have never read anything close to this kind of fantasy. The blood of the fold. Need I say more? I will anyway. Richard is the ultimate. Nobody in their right mind should mess with this one. And I want a pet gar just like gratch! Although i haven't read the temple of the winds yet, I found Terry's work to be quite clean as far as sexual morality is concerned. Anyway, thanks Terry! Can't wait to read the forth!

Summary: OUTSTANDING READ, THOURGHLY ENJOYED IT!! :)
Review: "Blood of the Fold" is an excellent book. extremely riveting and enthralling. From the moment when Richard broke the spell on berdine and the message sent from Annalina to Verna, i was totally awe struck and impressed. i've read several online reviews of Mr. Goodkind's next novel "temple of the winds" and i'm disheartened to see so many people degrading his work as "trivial" and "complacent". anyone with half a brain can see he didnt "sell out" but is truly taken the reader down a path of enlightenment. to call his work "trivial" should be a crime. as Mr. Goodkind responded in online message, "if you can do better, you go write a book", otherwise shut up!!sorry, i know this wasnt the intent of the online review, but i felt it needed to be said.

Summary: GREAT BOOK - POOR AUDIO VERSION
Review: THE AUDIO VERSION WAS NOT DONE BY BRILLANCE CORP. WE LOVED WIZARD'S FIRST RULE, STONE OF TEARS, AND TEMPLE OF THE WINDS. ALL WERE UNABRIDGED. CURRENTLY AWAITING THE ARRIVAL OF THE UNABRIDGED COPY OF BOLD OF THE FOLD. ABRIDGED COPY TO SHORT!!!!! GREAT BOOK IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO READ. WE LOVE TO LISTEN TO THE AUDIO.

Summary: Is Richard even in this book?
Review: The book generaly lacked the quality of the first two books, but was well done nonetheless. Although the focus of the novel is set more on war and the upcoming confrontation that Richard and Khalan are about to face, so in actuallity the book is more just a prelude to "Temple of the Winds" than a book itself, it isn't really the best of the series, perhaps close to mediocre.
Rating:
Summary: Good, but slightly disappointing.
Review: Hmm...where to begin? First, I thought the book was very fast paced, but had no real developement to the plot. Though, I do admire it for its realism. After all; life is not always productive. I thought that him repeating the fact that Richard is The Bringer of Death was getting really annoying by the end of the book. I have read the fourth one though, and to all of you hoping that it will be better; trust me, it is!
