PW review of Goodkind's new book
Publishers Weekly review of The Law of Nines:

The Law of Nines Terry Goodkind. Putnam, $27.95 (512p) ISBN 978-0-399-15604-5

Bestseller Goodkind (Confessor) ventures into thriller territory with results sure to please fans of his fantasy fiction. In the opening pages, Alex Rahl, the book’s unwitting hero, saves the beautiful Jax from being run down on the street in Orden, Neb., by a plumbing truck flying a pirate flag. Jax, who turns out to be from an alternate reality where evildoers are attempting to seize control of her civilization, has traveled to Nebraska to seek Alex’s help in saving her people. In Jax’s world, magic takes the place of technology, but on earth she’s stripped of her powers and forced to fight armed with only her trusty dagger. The author takes his time setting all this up, but once the story gets rolling, it’s a gripping ride as the bad guys whoosh in between their world, which remains unseen, and ours. Fantasy and thriller readers alike will find themselves swept along to the final confrontation and looking forward to the next installment. (Sept.)

	I wonder how many pounds of actual fertilizer you could buy for that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Of course, the link is to the high class concentrated stuff. For something comparable to the contents of said book, one might want to go straight to the farmer for a fifty lb bag of cow manure. Or perhaps chicken droppings would be more appropriate? EVIL chicken droppings. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	There's a farm down the road from me which gives bags of horse shit away for free. I think that's a better match to the real value of a Terry Goodkind book. (Reply to this)(Parent)
