My thoughts on this book :

This is the 1^st book of the Sword of Truth series that was creatively written by Terry Goodkind. I was told by my colleague that this is a good series, as from the book created the TV series The Legend of the Seeker. So, I hunted the first book and took me two weeks to find it. This was an interesting read and the story line and plots were very good. But there was a part that I got bored, that was when Richard and Khalan were traveling to Midlands and the hint of their affection for each other.

Then I got surprised when Richard was captured by a Mord-Sith ~ this was the part that put me on the edge of the seat. I initially thought that the scene was kinda odd and that the story can go on without it but when I finished the episode with the Mord-Sith, I was pondering how clever the author was. It made me felt the pain, too. I was so livid and was in torment and there were times I wanted to throw my book but hell, no! I love my book! So I read on ~ and the story became very fast and furious! I was amazed with the monsters, dragons, characters and twist in the story.

I was so satisfied with the book; I tried to watch the TV series. Yuck! The actors were not near to how Terry Goodkind has described the characters, so no for the TV series!

Anyway, I recommend this Wizard's First Rule. Go and get it! Tell me what the rule is~ I seemed to forgot!
