About Terry Goodkind

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 began his adult life building cabinets and violins, as well as was a marine/wildlife artist. His first novel, Wizard's First Rule, was published in 1994, thus beginning his illustrious career. He is now also a part-time race car driver, and is also a devoted husband and a friend to animals.

To quote Author Terry Goodkind........My privilege in life is the joy of writing books and telling stories about people who fascinate me, the good and the bad.

Goodkind's newest novel is NEST, where readers will be drawn into a world that is dark and evil. He remains one of the most controversial thriller writers of our time.

Goodreads review by Mike (the Paladin) on September 02, 2011

Goodkind is finding his stride in lecturing us on the failings of our own ideals here (if that is they don't agree with his) funny I thought I was reading an epic fantasy.... give it 1.5 instead of 2 stars. Look hard you might find a story between the diatribes.......more

Goodreads review by Penelope on December 11, 2007

Wow! Terry Goodkind, if he truly is the author, seems to have gone off the deep end here. I had a strong love/hate, emphasis on the hate side with this book. I was driven on by the plot but really, really hated the philosophy that Goodkind espoused in this book. What a long way Richard has come from......more
