manmiles Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Well, at least you won't keep reading past this, right? You've not going to give this guy more money, right? Right?Hey, I didn't feed the Yeard. I got this book at a Savers in Wisconsin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exa Inova Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Unfortunately our 'discussions' of the Yeards work have the nasty and negative side effect of invoking curiosity in young would be lemmings to try at least one book.This is unfortunate indeed but therefore we strongly advise to lend them from your local library. That way you dont feed the Yeard and sponsor you local library so they can also obtain quality books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alytha Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I don't have a local library :(And in the library in Luxembourg city, the fantasy section is composed of a Stephen King book and 2 Twilight novels.I do however have a friend with a wife of dubious literary taste/who'd just buy anything she comes across, who supported my mad fantasy of actually reading a Tairy book. It was Chainfire, I think, although I can't remember what happened in it. There was a definite lack of moral celery expressed through rigorous spine-ripping and jaw-kicking, and barely any holes, melon-sized or other.I think Tairy was getting old...

SkynJay Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Well that is because Chainfire was the mans attempt to leave behind the politicking and actually wrap up his never ending series. So it was the first of three long books that wrapped up his series, with the third ending in him realizing he still cant right an ending so he had about 4 pages of magic making everything better.

Alytha Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 There I was, looking forward to naked warioresses, jaw-kicking, massive holes, gore-dripping spines, page-long speeches, raptor-gazes, evil chickens, red-leather-clad dominas (did I mention that said friend got his said wife a suit of red leather LARP armour?), Kahlan getting almost raped, and generally awfultruthiful prose...And then...nothing. Not even an odd-looking vine. :bawl: I want my money back! :tantrum: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosciuszko Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Have you attempted invoking the internet to find a Tairy book? It may not necessarily be... legal... but its how I first stumbled upon his works. I honestly thought WFR was a free e-book due to the quality.

Alytha Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Nah, I don't like reading large quantities of text on a screen, and I'm afraid Tairy would make my eyes bleed even more.And anyway, there's tons of GOOD books out there waiting to be read ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Monkey Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I find the thought of pirating a Terry Goodkind novel to be degrading. Not because I care that much about the integrity of his art, but it would just be humiliating to spend any time at all trying to steal the literary equivalent of rancid garbage. If you're going to look for a free online copy, at least make it a good book rather than something that you would be ashamed to have a significant other find on your computer.

And after like 8 books you take the gore for granted. I do remember some henchman giving a lengthy speech before cutting Dicks throath. And then there were those grannys who followed the troops gathering testicles and stuff (cant rememeber clearly). Of course there is plenty of misogyny.Werent the distraction boobs part of chainfire?...........mind failing........ :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Monkey Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Yeah....better let her find your porn stash. :dunno: Honestly, I agree. I'd rather someone find a video of two people having sex on my computer than a book where a little girl gets kicked in the face so hard her teeth sever her tongue, a man is repeatedly violated by an evil dominatrix until they fall in love, and a heroine forces an adversary to devour his own testicles. Yeah, porn is kind of looked down upon, but it's a lot easier to explain than all of the sick shit that you can find in these books. I agree with the point about reading good books instead. If you're going to rob a bank, take the money; don't spend your entire time trying to hack off those crappy pens attached to the desk. You're still going to jail either way; why make it for something stupid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it was the first of three long books that wrapped up his series, with the third ending in him realizing he still cant right an ending so he had about 4 pages of magic making everything better.Except that the series continued on into his "new" series of novels that weren't supposed to be part of the original series except for the history, the character names and the bad writing...yet now The Omen Machine returns him to his first playground...and I'm suddenly struck with the thought that, "Wasn't Law of Nines meant to be the first of a trilogy?", and I'm thinking that somehow those plumbing pirates of LoN's will find their way into OM...Hey, at least Meyer didn't advocate fascism in her books. Did she?I'm sometimes not so sure what she advocated wasn't worse... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinDonner Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 When I was looking up the release date for The Omen Machine, various places were referring to it as TG's "grand comeback" or somesuch, which leads me to believe that Law of Nines has been erased from the pages of history. Or maybe it never really happened at all and Tormund made the whole thing up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
