I gave up on Sookie....
But Game if Thrones! LOVE IT!
After years, I finally just got my husband to watch it with me!
Why does it take other people to tell him it's good to finally see it???? I read the first book way before the show, but the show is what made me finish the series. I watched the first three seasons by myself, but just in the past few month I got him caught up.

Oryx and Crake sounds good. Another great series!

How can you not remember all those ugly children he seems to collect!haha.

With my exams I had no time to read exept a chapter here and there, but now that my exams are finished I can finally concentrate on it.

I just reached chapter 20

(view spoiler)[I had my first glimpse of Darken Rahl. He seems a lot more evil than in the series. I shudder at the idea of what he could do to this little boy.

I think that the characters are a different from the series, especially Kahlan. I don't know how you all experienced it.


OMG! Richard's tooth!! He has to get rid of it :O
It's interesting to learn where it comes from, but it's really too bad that Rahl can use it to find Richard. Hmmm I wonder how long it will take to figure that Richard is the seeker...
and also how he will react when he'll learn that the (physical) book has been destroyed. (hide spoiler)]

I hope there's still someone here to discuss the book with me :)

Ok, it's picked up again. Richard and Kahlan are now in the Midlands and have met the mud people. I like them and their crazy way of greeting people. I hope they join the cause.

A..."

(view spoiler)[Haha, the Mud People have a very interesting way of showing respect. I wouldn’t want to be respected by them :p
But what a disappointment when they wouldn't help him after he lost so much time teaching them how to make tiles for their roofs. :(

I'm really happy that Zed is awake. I had no doubt about it of course :) I hope he'll join Richard and Kahlan soon.

Darken Rahl creeps me out with his way of sweet talking to the child before killing him. It sickens me. And the way he did it! *shudders*

I can't believe Kahlan still has said nothing about her being the confessor. In the tv-series, if I'm not wrong, Richard knows right away.


Haha, thanks for the video Pigletto. It's very funny. (hide spoiler)]

I agree, mud people are crazy. I believe they'll join or at least have that gathering. But going with how things are going, th..."

(view spoiler)[That petal thing was really exagerated! A petal ! A PETAL! It reminds me a bit of the queen in Alice in Wonderland when she gets so angry about the roses thing.

Rahl is terrible. I'm sure he's capable of much worse. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Darken Rahl really creeped me out especially with what he did to Carl. I haven't seen any of the TV show but the character in the book is completely evil. I enjoyed the part about the Mud People too. They were strange but some of them were good-hearted. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 29

I think I've found the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland! Queen Milena and her daughter are acting exactly like her !! Off with their heads!!!

[ClaireB]

she even looks like the Queen of hearts in the tv-series!

Chapter 33

(view spoiler)[ Rachel left the castle with the box. This little girl is so full of courage, the little angel. I remember the episode of the tv-series when that happens. It's one of my favorite of the season 1.
Poor Giller. In the end he did the right thing :'(

Chapter 34

(view spoiler)[ Kahlan finaly told him. I can't believe it took so long.
That was a heartbreaking moment too. *snif* :,( (hide spoiler)]

So true. Haha. It's exacty the kind of thing you expect Zed to say :D
I'm glad he's back!

Chapter 41

(view spoiler)[Richard is being tortured by Denna... :(

The Princess Violet is actually worse than her mother. I'm glad she bit her own tongue off :b :o :| (hide spoiler)]

[ClaireB]

I finished !

I LOVED it :D

(view spoiler)[I was very surprised to learn that Darken Rahl was Richard's father :O in the series he's his brother...
I'm glad Richard and Kahlan can finally be together <3

The ending of the book is sooo different from the tv-series. In fact most of the tv-series is different. But I love both anyway :) (hide spoiler)]
