I have heard this from many people. Beqi Send a noteboard - 02/08/2011 07:06:15 PM
It was that special kind of awful, where you love reading it just to see what happens next. But, I kept buying them, so I guess he's being pretentious and condescending all the way to the bank.


My two biggest issues were that Richard and Kahlan were huge Mary Sues, and that it rarely felt like there was a coherent overarching plot- the plotlines didn't flow naturally into each other, and whenever one referenced another, it always felt awkward (how out of place did the Boxes of Orden feel in the end of the series?)


They read it all just to finish it. They didn't like it. They thought the author was pompously horrible. But they gave him their money again and again. Very odd. Will you read his new book about the same characters?

What a stupid fucking douchebag pile of shit. Tom - 02/08/2011 04:35:43 AM 1484 Views
I toally agree. I only wish I could say I was wise enough to avoid his books all together. *NM* Beqi - 02/08/2011 07:40:54 AM 646 Views
He's better than Paolini... Tavi - 02/08/2011 04:48:58 AM 1565 Views
I haven't heard of Paolini being such a douche... Beqi - 02/08/2011 07:42:08 AM 1431 Views
So? What harm is he doing? Cannoli - 02/08/2011 06:58:56 AM 1865 Views
book 6? Was that the second or third time Ricky got kidnapped/changed his captors way of thinking? Beqi - 02/08/2011 07:08:45 AM 1499 Views
But then you have to retract the rip-off assertion Cannoli - 02/08/2011 01:58:28 PM 1504 Views
Er. You didn't answer her question: Why was Book 6 so groundbreaking? beetnemesis - 02/08/2011 02:07:18 PM 1469 Views
That was just a joke about her giving up the series. I didn't even recall which one was book 6 Cannoli - 02/08/2011 02:28:06 PM 1517 Views
Derp. Sorry, it was too early in the morning for subtle humor. beetnemesis - 02/08/2011 07:17:23 PM 1426 Views
It's funny, though, because you hit the nail on the head with your random choice of number. Legolas - 02/08/2011 08:11:58 PM 1497 Views
I agree with all that LadyLorraine - 03/08/2011 12:15:15 AM 1492 Views
Isn't that the one where Richard carves a statue that is so rad it inspires a rebellion? Werthead - 03/08/2011 12:02:10 PM 1499 Views
well to be fair, it's more complicated than that LadyLorraine - 03/08/2011 05:27:59 PM 1386 Views
No, it's not. That is exactly what happens. *NM* MightyYT - 04/08/2011 08:42:23 PM 721 Views
That's the one. Legolas - 03/08/2011 06:10:57 PM 1479 Views
As well as being the most overtly anti-communist & anti-religious of the series. Cannoli - 06/08/2011 02:52:52 AM 1516 Views
but if Hitler painted really well... LadyLorraine - 06/08/2011 03:44:52 AM 1327 Views

I read all the way through the end, and I thought the last couple books redeemed it in my eyes LadyLorraine - 03/08/2011 12:11:56 AM 1357 Views
The revelation that Terry-um, I mean Richard, is God was retarded? For reals? *NM* Cannoli - 03/08/2011 02:14:00 AM 675 Views
