Pissed--

I'm burning with rage here.

Really pissed.

Why?

It's the Sword of Truth...again.

I'm halfway through, but I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE. I almost tossed my IPhone against the wall, and I never want to read this again. Still, I feel like a pathetic unprofessional idiot if I don't finish it, so I WILL READ THIS.

It's so damn preachy--Richard is so...he's getting every possible advantage by the writer--just look at his perceptions (identical to reality, by the way). His opinion is spot-on and everything is out to get him because "You are a [positive adjective] man, Richard Cypher."

What the HELL is with that last name? Talk about blending in a fantasy environment with some piece of crap like Cypher. I even see Eragon 'Bromsson' better, even though he ripped it off Norse culture.

I swear, this book is going the extra mile to piss me off. Zedd's teachings/gifts/items Richard has are like Dues Ex Machina waiting to happen, and I've begun to consider Richard being a Dues ex Machina. Is there any genuine character/romance/action?

Books aren't written this way! I can't even be coherent and professional in this review because I'm so appalled by this piece of published shit.

sword of truth, anger, reading, pissed, ramblings
