 Terry Goodkind Keeps you thinkingOct 27, 2009
Terry Goodkind draws you into his book and just when you think you know what is going to happen he pulls the rug out from under you and surpirses you with an outcome that you weren't contiplating. The Series so far is excellent. My only drawback is the same with many books in a series where it explains something from the previous book. Its a sci-fi book. Most people know they are series and to find the first one. Don't repeat. It still is a really good read. Not as good as the first book, but still enthralling.

I listened to my first audio, two weeks ago, which was The Wizards First Rule by Terry Goodyear. I had never listened to an audio book before but was simply intrigued with the book. Of course I am a romantic and rooter for the underdog (Richard Guerlin), who is in love with Karlann the Mother Confessor. They both have their own magic and are supposed to never be able to really have a relationship, as they would be fatal to each other. The narrator for both the books was very dramatic and entertaining and made you want to listen to more, so I listened to the first series, which had 20 cds in three days.
Then, I listened to Phantom and enjoyed it even more than the first book. If you like Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings, or something that you can really sink your teeth into, you will like this book as well. It had a little bit more adult theme, and did contain some parts, it perhaps, didnt need. But this book kept my attention and seemed both fantasy/adventure with a little bit of magic and love dust thrown in. I ordered audio books two and three and am raptly waiting for them to arrive.
 Entertaining, for the most part--Sep 30, 2009
Aside from the speeches on individuality interspersed throughout the book and constant reminders of what just happened a few chapters ago, the book is still entertaining. Goodkind, throughout the Sword of Truth series, has been consistently adept at the setting up the suspense and delivering a climax (except, of course, in Chainfire, which actually did not have much of a climax). Phantom was no exception. It's almost as entertaining as the best books of the series, and thankfully superior to the worst of it.
 something differentSep 11, 2009
I am not able to review this book as it was not sent to me....
How Many Tortures Can We Read About??Aug 26, 2009
Goodkind is a very talented author, I enjoy his books overall, but come on, how many different people do we have to read about who think nothing of heinously torturing helkpless victims? We have Jagang's army, we have the evil sisters, we have that queeen and the witch Six. After awhile, reading repeatedly, in gory details, about rape, castration, mutilation, degredation, etc, becomes very mind numbing. Goodkind seems to have a fascination with this kind of stuff. Just like way back in the series when Richard was tortured endlessly by the Mord Siths. After awhile it gets very tedious and repetetive and sickening.
