What do you think about "Sword of Truth" series by Terry Goodkind? Do you like it? Or maybe don't? Do you think that series did it justice or maybe you like the series more than the books?

Thoughts! ;-)

Well, I've only read the first Sword of Truth book, but I really liked it. I have #2-6 sitting on my shelf, I just haven't read them yet...And I didn't watch the show regularly, I kept forgetting it was on because I'm not in the habit of having a show on Saturdays, but the episodes I caught seemed good, not sure how close it followed the books since I've only read the one, so I guess I can't be a good judge. Richard, Kahlan, and Zeb in the show did match how I had them pictured in my head pretty well though, I liked that.

The show with its plot isn't close to the books but I like changes that they made. Especially with cookie Darken Rahl ^^

I read only four from the all books but I really loved them and can't wait to read more!

I did not really liked the writing style; Goodkind is a great story teller but he is no Tolkien.

I admit it takes me a while to read through Goodkinds books, thats probably why I've only gotten though the first book. Its a very good story, but there are some chapters that don't hold my attention well and I wind up loosing interest and it takes me a while to pick it back up again.
