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.

This review has nothing to do with the Terry Goodkind books. I just wanted to tell people how terrible Jim Bond is as a narrator. I mean - the worst. Ever. So please make sure you get an audio book that doesn’t have HIM as the reader. You will thank me for it. Jim Bond’s voice will lull you to sleep. It’s flat, dull, and most of the time I just had to laugh because he was so VERY bad at reading a story. His voice does not change for any characters or to display emotion of any kind. It’s one very long, albeit clear monotone voice. With Terry Goodkind books - that’s like a death sentence. They are involved and long and the last thing you want is someone like Jim Bond narrating them.

The narrating of this book is very dry. With that being said the story was very good, and without that I would not have been able to make it through it.

I read this series years ago and liked it. Time to go through the series again, this time in audio. The first book was pretty good all the way around - some comical things in the audio reading, but not bad. This book... well, the book itself fits with the series and it is a good book, but the narrator is absolutely horrible. I've never looked at a narrator prior to adding a book to my queue, but I'm going to have to start now. This one is that bad. Listen to it if you need to bridge between books 1 and 3 in the series, but I suggest you read it instead of listening to it.

Goodreads review by Gavin on June 26, 2019

My 2019 reread of the Sword of Truth continued with Stone of Tears and I'm happy to say the reread is going well so far as I quite enjoyed this one. Despite its flaws and Goodkind's crazy morality this still proved to be a fun and engaging 1990s style fantasy epic. It had a great mix of fun magic, i......more

Goodreads review by Richard on May 08, 2008

Richard: we've gone from children being brutalized to the very depths of psychosexual sadism and perversion, including copropilia and yes, a little bit of pedo/necrophilia too Mike: pedo AND necro? Richard: yeah Mike: at... the same time? Richard: yes. I feel genuinely guilty reading this book Mike: ..........more

Goodreads review by J.G. Keely on June 30, 2009

It is always curious to see fantasy authors who don't consider themselves to be fantasy authors. Case-in-point: Terry Goodkind. The former landscape painter has told us how he isn't a fantasy author in every interview he's ever given: "The books I write are first of all novels, not fantasy, and that......more

Goodreads review by Kara on June 25, 2020

This book was bad. I found parts of it way better than the first book, Wizard's First Rule, and parts of it abysmal. The only saving grace was the fact that I'm a sucker for crowning moments of awesome, and this book has quite a few. Richard seems to be turning into a Mary Sue (or Marty Stu, if you h......more

Goodreads review by Bethany (Beautifully Bookish Bethany) on February 25, 2022

4.5 stars 2022 Reread: This was a lot of fun. I definitely think this is a much better book than Wizard's First Rule in terms of pacing, writing, and plot. ********************* The last time I read Stone of Tears I was a teenager, so it has been a long time! I have to say, despite some issues I mostl......more
