One would never think that a person with dyslexia would become a writer of novels. However, American author, Terry Goodkind crossed the usual boundary and wrote his first novel, even though he did not receive a formal education.

He is now also a part-time race car driver, and is also a devoted husband and a friend to animals.

Much to my surprise, this was actually pretty okay! Aside from the painful writing style, of course. After the past two books in the series have been not great (#7 was almost pointless in terms of the long-term arc, and #8 was one of the dullest things I've ever forced myself to finish), I wasn't re......more
