About this product

Product Information

Wizard's First Rule marks the debut of a new fantasy writer. Truly epic in scope and filled with burning intensity, it is the story of Richard Cypher, a modest woodsman in a world achingly beautiful, alive with the joys of nature: a world the reader comes to love as fiercely as do Richard and those around him. Though a mere woodsman, he is the one destined to battle the ultimate adversary - Darken Rahl, an evil mage who bids to destroy all that Richard holds good and beautiful, dooming him and the rest of the people of Westland to a living Hell of subjugation and degradation.

Author Biography
Terry Goodkind is a #1 New York Times bestselling author. His books include the eleven-volume Sword of Truth series, beginning with Wizard's First Rule, the basis for the television show Legend of the Seeker. Goodkind was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, where he also attended art school. Alongside a career in wildlife art, he has also been a cabinetmaker and a violin maker, and he has done restoration work on rare and exotic artifacts from around the world -- each with its own story to tell, he says. While continuing to maintain the northeastern home he built with his own hands, in recent years he and his wife Jeri have created a second home in the desert Southwest, where he now spends the majority of his time.

This first book in a series is as great as its last! a REALLY great form of escape and a new outlook on life at the same time! A favor to yourself!!
First, the story itself is one of the most compelling and original stories i have found in Fantasy genre and that i have come across over the years, works that are derivitave of this work alone! In short, other authors of the genre have politely 'ripped-off' of Terry Goodkind as often as i would bet happens to Stephen King!...which in itself is pure falttery for T. Goodkind i would bet! and the fack that i can get it so inexpensively and in SUCH great condition (im talking Barnes&Such quality)..just goes to show that shopping ebay only takes the smallest of steps in good faith.... that good faith will be rewarded!

Pristine memento
Unfortunately my favorite author passed away. My daughter and I read this book together, so this is a memento of a great author and a great many moments spent together. It came in flawless condition with a COA. Will buy more of the series in the future.

The fantasy book that will hook you ont he series
Not quite sure where to begin with this book. I have read it several times (in soft cover edition) and decided to buy the hardcover version because I loved it so much. Forbidden love, ancient secrets, ancient magic, hidden identities, it's got it all. I bought this book originally on a whim, with some left over money on a gift card, and now I own the entire series, all 12 books. The author makes you think with these books, makes you think about your own life. His writing style creates vivid images in your head, with the perfect mixture of description, and actual story. Characters are real, and you can relate to them (in the oddest ways sometimes) Book has moderate vocabulary, not 'baby' words like all these new series like twilight, and harry potter. Sentences are beautifully written. Overall ? I highly recommend it. There's only 20 or so books that I have in display for easy access, out of almost 400 books (I get deployed alot :P) and 12 of those books are the Sword of Truth series, which this is the debut of. Hope this review was helpful ! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions... I don't sell any of these books but would be happy to get you hooked haha :)Read full review

Finally a Sci- Fi book you can read over and over again
I picked this book up by accident one day and fell in love with it. There are so many plots. turns and twists. Excellent characters, which the author develops so well. I wish the series would be produced as a film. I don't know how many times I have reread it. Richard the woods guide (and so much more to be discovered, Kahlan, the beautiful lonely Mother Confessor, Zedd the teacher, grandfather, and wizard (who is my favorite character)plus you can't forget all the bad guys, especially Lord Rahl !!! I have all the books of the series (Sword of Truth) and I'm disappointed there is only one book left to conclude the series... Every page is exciting, and Terry doesn't just ramble, he leaves you anticipating the next book every time.

Wizard's First Rule Great Book
This is by far one of the best first books in a massively produced genre that hosts many fantasy series, sagas, and great authors. Goodkind really keeps readers involved and anxious with his descriptive, creative, and intriguing writing style. There is just enough action to get you involved and just enough dialogue to get a true fell for the characters. He doesn't go over the top with pages of meaningless descriptive nonsense like some other authors seem to always do. Truly an original piece of work, filled with a world full of new creatures and ideas. This is one of the books that I blame for really getting me so interested in reading in the first place, and anyone that picks this one up will not put it down until the last page. RATING: 5 / 5 STARS Recommended Authors: Robert Jordan (Wheel of Time Series) George R.R. Martin (A Song of Ice and Fire Series) Terry Goodkind (The Sword of Truth Series) J.R.R. Tolkien (The Hobbit, Lord of The Rings) If My Review Was Helpful Please VoteRead full review
