Yeah, that is what really drives me up a tree about him. HyogaRott Send a noteboard - 11/09/2013 06:28:08 PM

I used to think he was just a mediocre writer and lumped his books in under the heading of mind numbing tripe that I might read when I had nothing better to do, until I stumbled accross his blog.

EGADS, his arrogance, unwarrented arrogance, just blew me away. When he started bragging about his weaknesses in plotting and world building as being strengths the level of spin caused me motion sickness and I haven't touched anything he has written or could possibly benefit from (his REALLY crappy TV show)since.

So Goodkind had this new book,The Third Kingdom, come out and...well, it is garbage Larry - 10/09/2013 09:39:29 AM 2205 Views
Hm, I had no idea he was still writing sword of Truth books. beetnemesis - 10/09/2013 02:44:05 PM 1091 Views
Unfortunately, his lack of production was just a pleasant interlude... *NM* HyogaRott - 10/09/2013 03:21:43 PM 537 Views

Pitch-perfect comparison Larry - 11/09/2013 08:21:34 AM 1427 Views
It would be funnier if Goodkind didn't apparently think he is a serious and significant writer. *NM* Tom - 11/09/2013 06:19:53 PM 481 Views

Yes, much as I criticize later Jordan writing, it's poetry compared to Goodkind. *NM* Tom - 12/09/2013 04:41:12 AM 461 Views
I thought his hubris added to the enjoyment taken from eviscerating his works *NM* Larry - 15/09/2013 09:25:08 AM 503 Views

His politics are more unusual than most authors', and his arrogance is more blatant, I guess. Legolas - 18/09/2013 05:46:54 PM 1524 Views
I wouldn't call his politics that unusual Isaac - 19/09/2013 10:59:26 AM 1352 Views
