I have been a fan of the Sword of Truth Series for quite a long time. I have long awaited the arrival of this book, and had high expectations for it. I found that I was slightly disappointed that Terry Goodkind did not take advantage of the fact that Kahlan could have a baby boy. I believe that this twist of plot could have been very uplifting to a series that was getting a bit old. I hope that Terry Goodkind will write another book where a change of pace will be welcome.

I would be a fool to suggest that Terry Goodkind is not one of the greatest fiction writers of our time. The man truly has a gift. The first four books of "The Sword of Truth" series are totally captivating and you can't say the adventures were anything but masterfully crafted, however book five.
Well, I will give credit where it is due, once again the artwork was flawless, like a hand in a glove. Unfortunately, the story itself lacked the level of 'fire' that the previous books had. I am talking BIG anticlimax. If Mr. Goodkind pursues a further development of this story (And I hope he doesn't) he should take a long vacation break, free of the hounding publisher's and rekindle the spark of abundant talent he undoubtedly has.
Terry, thanks for the wonderful story. Whatever you do next, GOD BLESS. Happy reading, Percy

I have begun the search for my authentic self. The love of my life bought Simple Abundance, Ban Breathnach's previous masterpiece, for me so that I might find my true voice in this life. I never imagined what an impact these two books would have on my life. Finding oneself is not an easy task-it truly is an excavation. Sifting through layers of discontent, broken relationships, squelched dreams, failings, disappointments, and other such life challenges is a slow, grueling process. However, Ban Breathnach's writings make this arduous journey-that is what it is, a divine excursion into the depths of one's soul. I am 24. I was a lost soul. I had suffered years of despair and broken hearts. These two books have given me the courage, the wisdom, the strength, the spiritual fortitude, to realize that there is indeed something more. Not in a bottle of booze, nor cashmere sweater in a department store window. The Divine is inside us all. Right there for us to embrace or ignore. Women o! f all ages can be transformed by the Simple Abundance and Something More philosophies. After one reads these books, she should pass them on to someone she loves.

Something More is a terrific book. It helped me get over my depression. Each time I pick up the book I would realize that there is something more than meets the eye. I recommend this book to anyone that would like to discover the brilliance of their authentic self.

I also had to read this book for school, and found it incredibly slow going and boring. It doesn't seem relevant crime fiction at all, and is more a love story than a novel about anything else...I do think that the book was way too long, and the ending kind of disappointing. It brought up good moral and ethical points, but was way too heavy going for me.

Look, this guy has a good story, but he just isn't a very good writer. He goes into LONG descriptions of scenery, etc. in a way reminiscent of Dickens but nowhere near as good. Dickens was cute when he tried to thicken his books, Guterson is just boring. He actually begins to trip over his own descriptive words, using "miasma" and "implacable snow" like a hundred times. He is under the high-school impression that more details and more vocab are always good. Snow Falling on Cedars really does read like it was written by a high school student. He even pulls the Si-Fi trick of including a made-up map! That's just dumb.

The Snow falling on cedars is an Interesting book but I would say very overly detailed. There are some sections of the book which are not very well described at the same time they are too lengthy. But overall it's a new sort of story reflecting lots of incidents pertaining to WWII & The Japanese people. I like the book and enjoyed reading it.

I am presently studying this book in an English class called 'Crime fiction'. Most of the people in my class found that the book is way too detailed and therefore is really, really boring. I really didn't like it and at the moment I have an essay to write on it. The whole story can be cut down to 50 pages and it would still have the same effect. The author seemed to steer off the track way too often. I did not like it!

K. Smith
This book combines mystery, historical fact, and moral message into a well written and exciting work. Although at times overly detailed, I felt the book was compelling and well-written. It was one of those book you do not want to put down and despite its length I remained interested throughout.

Seymour Butts
A relatively good story idea, horribly brutalized by too much unnecessary detail and imagery. It's not that it's long, it's that it's so long you find yourself reading over the same pages trying desperately to comprehend. Though it is absorbing at some sections for the majority it is a dull read. A must for insomniacs.

L. Littlewood
Having read this book three times, I feel I have a certain standing in making this contribution. The idea for the story is intriguing (which is why I bought it, along with the fact that it had won a PEN/Faulkner Award), however, the execution was poorly done, and monotonous. Descriptions were not inspiring, and instead of enhancing the book, made it cumbersome and unappealing. Just to demonstrate how very dull I found this book: I came to the second last page, put it down and didn't think about it for a week. Needs a fair degree of willpower and it is derogatory to John Grisham to have this book compared with his novels (though they are markedly different styles of legal 'thrillers').

Wonderful tale - wish I could have been one of the 160 partners. Had not heard of this gold recovery- thought it was fiction at first. Well done Tommy Thompson!!

Amy
I'm 14 the book really touched my heart and I wish more people would be like cassie and if you get a chance go out and read it.

Marie Ann
Hi I'm 14 and I read the book I think it's a great book. It's so touching. I recommend this book to all my friends It's about a 17 year old girl and how she went from being a troubled teen to how she became a Christian. I t's a great book read it

Leslie Burgeson
Reading this book and also watching the "She said yes" video, has been so life changing for me. I encourage anyone to read this. Cassie's testimony is one that has brought so many people closer to God. I really look up for her for standing up for Jesus Christ. We have to ask ourselves would we do that, it would be really hard, but I know I would, and Cassie did. Read this book, you'll want to cry throughout the whole thing. It touched me and I hope it touches you. With love..

The book is good. I enjoyed it and plan to read other books by Sanford in the future.
However, the editing of the "Large Print" edition was very poor, as there is a blatant error in the 4th paragraph of page 144, where the murder victim is referred incorrectly by one of the suspect's names.

Snowman
This book kicks too much ass! :) You should.. I mean HAVE to read it .. it rocks.

Nats Martin
If you have read Fear Nothing and enjoyed it, you'll love this book even more ...One you can't put down!

Barbara Bishop Stovall
At last an author who can keep me engrossed, immersed, absorbed, enthralled, excited, puzzled, panting for the next chapter, wanting more, yet not wanting it to end. Those of you who love mystery with a twist you can't see coming, will love Saving Faith. Thank you, David Baldacci, for a work well done. I can't wait to fill my bookshelves with your books. Please keep them coming and keep them coming fast.

This book starts out very slow but picks up. Once you realize the flashbacks are relivant to the story it becomes more interesting. If you start to read it and decide to put it down, wait until you are at Chapter 10 or 11. I promise the story does pick up. I turned out to be a pretty good book.
