Rating: Summary: Fast Paced Fantasy Review: Possibly the best of the series so far. And this is one of my favorite fantasy series of all time. Still, we're on the 3rd Sword of Truth book there are a few things that are disturbing me. (1) Why does every villain have to be either a rapist or a sexual deviant? (2) Isn't it time we got a new map to go at the beginning of the book? The map is the same as it was in the first two books - pathetic. Is the entire continent one big mountain range? Let's see something--anything geographical or monumental indicated on the map besides rivers and freakin' mountains! Goodkind needs to hire a quality cartographer for a map that will due justice to his fantasy world. This will in turn make following his adventures a richer experience for his readers. Other than these two things I am loving this series and can't wait to read the next two currently out there.
Rating: Summary: for the person below Review: I believe that this book is very good. After all, it's just the way you look at things. Your very own pov and perspective.
Rating: Summary: If you have nothing better to read than this was a good book Review: This books suffers from ever flaw decribed by the other readers and then some. The thing that bugged me the most was the fact that evil charters in this book and previus two are never explained. The evil emporer simply wants to control the world, wow...thats so amazing. We have no idea why he wants to control the world or how he got in a position to do that. This book, like the rest of Goodkinds is overflowly with sex,blood and magic. None of those things are in themselves bad but when they serve no purpose there just special effects.In closeing the only reason I read this book is beacuse a friend gave it to me and I didn't have anything else to read.
Rating: Summary: I don't read books that I do not like Review: I enjoyed the third book and am confident I will enjoy the books to follow. As with the last two books, I could not put this one down. These books make my life a living hell. I stay up until all hours of the night trying to finish the book. I finished the last book in two days. I am going to begin the fourth book possibly tommorrow some time. As far as I'm concerned, I feel Mr. Goodkind is a good writer and deserves as much respect as any other author. Like I said, I don't read books that I do not like.
Rating: Summary: Blood of the Fold (Sword of Truth No 3) Review: Riveting, could not put it down until I finished it
Rating: Summary: Not as good as Stone of Tears, but still GREAT! Review: Blood of the Fold is not as good as Stone of Tears, but it is still great! After reading the first two novels in the series, you'd be expecting a little more from this, but the book was extremely awesome and I'm looking forward to reading Temple of the Wind! Buy it ASAP! (Oh yeah, and read it ASAP too! )
Rating: Summary: a good read but not his best. Review: I just read the first 4 books in this series and the first 2 are the best by far. All are well written and good stories but the action kind of died down somewhat in the 3rd and 4th installments, but great storytelling nonetheless.Great job by a great autthor.
Rating: Summary: Hardly a great book, but still worth reading. Review: I read this one a couple of years ago when it first came out. I found it to be rather dissapointing unfourtunatley. I loved the first two despite there obvious similarites too Jordans Wheel of Time series, so I was really looking forward to this one. Still worth reading though. The next book in the series more than makes up for this one though! Mildly recommended.
Rating: Summary: Wow, that was stupid... Review: First, I just want to say I only read this book because my friend wanted me to, to try to convince me he's good. Well he's not. I swore off Goodkind after The Stone of Tears, and I wish I hadn't bothere to read this one. Terry Goodkind is horrible. He contradicts himself, has stupid plotpoints, some of the cheesiest dialogue I've ever heard, and rips everything off Jordan. Granted, Jordan may have pulled everything from Dune, but at least he had the entire plot in mind when he started writing. Goodkind makes it up as he goes along. That's why plot points get left out until the last possible second. PLEASE, stop reading him. That he's been published is an insult to fantasy authors everywhere. Read Robin Hobb instead. She doesn't have enough fans anyway.
Rating: Summary: Goodkind has done better.... But keep reading his series.... Review: Blood was not the worst book I've ever read, but was very close ranking... But... If you bothered to read this book, pick up the next in the series, you will not be disapointed in the least
