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

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. |

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! ------------- |

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
