Oh dear.... Poor man, condolations to his family.
 
And grief to us, 'cause now we will never know how it ends....

Women hold their councils of war in kitchens: the knives are there, and the cups of coffee, and the towels to dry the tears.

I read that his wife is going to finish the last book. Apparently knowing he was about to pass on he instructed her to finish it for him.

I have heard about this as well.  I knew he left his notes for someone to finish his work.  we'll finally be able to know the end!

No disrespect to the dead, but his books were awful... too soon?

OMG! How could you say that Brian! His books are the best!!

When I found out about his death I was almost as depressed as an emo for a couple of days cause of the thought that the books I love most may never be finished!Cry

I certainly enjoyed the first 2-3 books, but then frankly the whole thing got out of hand. Too complex and involved. Shame because as a 3-4 book series it would have been very good.
 
Much the same for Terry Goodkind
