1) Whether they really liked the books. Some people did. Those who did will have a hard time with the show, because it changes a lot of plot lines around drastically. Personally, I liked the books just enough to be bothered by the unnecessary changes in the show. I don't mind filler episodes with them battling monsters that never existed in the books, or solving a towns problems. I DO have a problem with them changing something as major as how the Sword of Truth works, however. Not only change, but completely reverse. Book sword is fueled by rage, hate, and battle lust. Show sword won't work when you're angry, requires calm intelligent thought, shouldn't be used for great evil! Whatever. I'm sure having a sword that makes the main character go all crazy and hateful isn't great for ratings, but it's still irritating. Another example: the show richard is young, impulsive, and stupid. Book Richard is all about being smart and crafty and wise. Just a complete 180 degree difference. Don't like it.


I'm one of the few that also liked the books. I quit watching when Kahlan brought the Book of Counted Shadows to Zedd. I knew then that it wasn't going to be like the books at all so I stepped away. Too early to do that? Maybe. But I don't regret it.
Kirk: Spock, you want to know something? Everybody’s human.
Spock: I find that remark…insulting.
