Does it deserve the hate? I read like half of it in 6th grade but don't remember much

lmao

Was Terry Bradshaw literally zonked out of his mind when he wrote this trash?

Did he read Fellowship of the Rings and then smoke enough opium to get kink kong high, and then go to his typewriter?

I hate almost everything about The Sword of Shannara.

The character and location names are so fucking stupid like they were created by lobotomized pigs being asked to grunt out words.

Alanon
Panamon
Paranor
Balenor

Shit's retarded.

Not to mention the writing itself is fan-fiction level monkey diarrhea.
I can't even count the number of times the book refers to Gandalf - sorry I mean Alanon as "the giant mystic"

How are all the main characters in this book able to walk between any locations within two days? Is everyone a superhuman hiker with superior knowledge of geography? I've never once seen a single character pull out a map.

And can we talk about the ringwraiths - I mean skull-bearers... be honest with me they are just the Skeksis from Dark Crystal aren't they?

Fuck Terry Goodkind and Fuck Shannara
god damn
