Title: Gift of Backwardsness
Review: If Goodkind's novels are a gift at all, they're an invitationto go backwards in thought instead of forward. He makeshis world too simple, and this simplicity makes it boring. Pure good vs pure evil has been done, and its time has passed. Goodkind's characters always claim "righteousness" and "truth," but this sounds like fanaticism to me; to think that anyone knows the ultimate truth about anything is to let the world know you're a fool. The books are fun-- but so is heroin. End of story.
