For me it is his trite "moral" for every book. HyogaRott Send a noteboard - 18/09/2013 03:32:15 PM

Especially the way he implements it (beating his reader over the head repeatedly becasue he apparently thinks we are too stupid to see the obvious).

That and the poorly thought out plot with its glaring holes that you can drive a truck through. If you ever read any of his blog posts, he is actually proud of how loose his plots are and especially his magic "system" (using that term VERY loosely). He is a (mentally) lazy author.

So Goodkind had this new book,The Third Kingdom, come out and...well, it is garbage Larry - 10/09/2013 09:39:29 AM 2049 Views
Hm, I had no idea he was still writing sword of Truth books. beetnemesis - 10/09/2013 02:44:05 PM 964 Views
Unfortunately, his lack of production was just a pleasant interlude... *NM* HyogaRott - 10/09/2013 03:21:43 PM 472 Views

Pitch-perfect comparison Larry - 11/09/2013 08:21:34 AM 1308 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 419 Views
Yeah, that is what really drives me up a tree about him. HyogaRott - 11/09/2013 06:28:08 PM 1123 Views
Yes, much as I criticize later Jordan writing, it's poetry compared to Goodkind. *NM* Tom - 12/09/2013 04:41:12 AM 401 Views
I thought his hubris added to the enjoyment taken from eviscerating his works *NM* Larry - 15/09/2013 09:25:08 AM 433 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 993 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 1377 Views
I wouldn't call his politics that unusual Isaac - 19/09/2013 10:59:26 AM 1238 Views
