Ah, thank you. We haven't had a good Goodkind thrashing in quite some time... everynametaken Send a noteboard - 13/09/2013 02:09:02 AM

Thankfully I quit after his very first book and never got suckered into any of his other work. The denizens at his site must be going bat shit crazy at the thought of such a criticism.

But wine was the great assassin of both tradition and propriety...

So Goodkind had this new book,The Third Kingdom, come out and...well, it is garbage Larry - 10/09/2013 09:39:29 AM 2353 Views
Hm, I had no idea he was still writing sword of Truth books. beetnemesis - 10/09/2013 02:44:05 PM 1225 Views
Unfortunately, his lack of production was just a pleasant interlude... *NM* HyogaRott - 10/09/2013 03:21:43 PM 612 Views

Pitch-perfect comparison Larry - 11/09/2013 08:21:34 AM 1579 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 547 Views
Yeah, that is what really drives me up a tree about him. HyogaRott - 11/09/2013 06:28:08 PM 1399 Views
Yes, much as I criticize later Jordan writing, it's poetry compared to Goodkind. *NM* Tom - 12/09/2013 04:41:12 AM 534 Views
I thought his hubris added to the enjoyment taken from eviscerating his works *NM* Larry - 15/09/2013 09:25:08 AM 575 Views
Amazon just informed me that I live in the same town as Goodkind... Crazy ol Lews Therin - 11/09/2013 08:21:15 PM 1236 Views

I don't know, I hate to say he's a bad writer Isaac - 18/09/2013 11:22:02 AM 1718 Views
For me it is his trite "moral" for every book. HyogaRott - 18/09/2013 03:32:15 PM 1360 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 1671 Views
I wouldn't call his politics that unusual Isaac - 19/09/2013 10:59:26 AM 1475 Views
