This is a good, solid book. (I'm not kidding, you could probably knock someone out with the paperback edition alone.) While I eventually came to realize it seems to 'borrow' from some classic plots, it's still put together pretty well. I've found that Goodkind is a love him or hate him author for most people (although I find myself in neither), but it's definitely a full ride. Warning, while there isn't any sexual content, there are hindsight musing of such, and some incredibly graphic scenes of their own right. Not for the weak of heart or stomach. But it made for a fun, cross-continental plane trip.
