OT: Sword of Truth coming to television Fall 2008

Mm. Yes, that rant's pretty much spot on.

I gave up on Jordan around book 5 because I was just finding it incredibly tedious. I gave up on Goodkind book three or four because of the misogyny. It's full of ****tish women who desperately want the hero, virtually all of whom die horribly. And that's just about every woman in the book who has more than a passing mention; except the hero's girlfriend, who spends all her time obsessing over him to the point you want to throw the book across the room.

What makes it even worse is that the hero is, frankly, extraordinarily dull. His best attribute is the usual fantasy cliche of uncorruptible righteousness, but I think it takes a little more than personal integrity to have women desperately trying to get you into bed.
