Title: Interesting, but I see several problems here
Review: Wow! The first time I read this book, I was amazed. What a great plot! What a beautiful philosophical discourse! One thousand pages later, I found myself disgusted with the entire book.The one thousand pages I refer to are modern philosopher Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged," a wonderful book which I am not reviewing here. However, I will say that the book describes her philosophy, objectivism, which is remarkably similar--read, identical-- to the philosophy Goodkind puts forth in the conclusion of Faith of the Fallen.I can understand appreciating Rand's philosophy. However, appreciating to the point of putting it in a fantasy novel and passing it off as your own creation can only be called plagiarism.The plot of Faith of the Fallen was excellent, but I found myself disgusted with Goodkind's blatant replication of Ayn Rand's ideas.
