I was a big fan of the Terry Goodkind books and I just didn't like the direction they took the series in within 30 minutes of the episode. To me they killed off much of the dramatic tension too soon. But if you enjoyed it then I'd say go ahead and keep watching. Because while it may not have been good to me it doesn't mean it's not good to someone else.
Ah, I see. I might have hated it too, if I'd read the books first. I'm going to have to FORCE myself to watch "Secret of Moonacre" (the movie based on Elizabeth Goudge's Little White Horse). I started it,and within ten minutes I was literally screaming at the screen about how wrong they were. (Good thing I was home alone....*grin*). However, if I had come into it without reading the book, I probably would have enjoyed it. It's not a bad movie...it just isn't anything like the book!
