I have read the Sword of Truth series and let me tell you ... The 
Legend of The Seeker is a decent series but does not do the books 
justice ... trust me and give them a try. I have a question for you 
all. I usually don't read my emails because I am a math teacher and the 
money crisis in California takes up a lot of my time and energy trying 
to find interesting ways to teach my kids math with what little I have. 
One thing I have noticed that really annoys me and I see my students 
doing this too is comparing Harry Potter to Twilight. I have read both 
series ( Harry Potter so many times I can practically quote the books 
word for word) , but in my mind there is no comparison. Forgive the 
terms I use ( I got my degree in Mathematics and not English) , but 
Harry Potter is so well written where Twilight is not. The whole Harry 
Potter series is centered around the demented relationship between 
Harry and Voldemort , and each book in the series has it's very 
interesting sub plot that strenghtens the Harry-Voldemort scenario 
where the Twilight series lacks the intensity and emotion that Harry 
Potter has in abundance. I also think that the transitions between the 
books in Twilight are poor and Breaking Dawn was a huge disappointment 
... especially the ending. I think the whole relationship between Bella 
and Edward is boring , annoying and unrealistic. I know there is no 
such thing as magic=2
0, but the way JKR wrote Harry Potter really makes a 
hidden magical community seem plausible. The way she wrote the series 
is exactly how I fantasized about magic as a kid. I would much rather 
be a witch on my way to a magical education at Hogarts than an average 
girl in a relationship with an immortal adonis. Anyone agree with me?

Ali:

Legend of the Seeker is definitely on there (and in HD).  I watched

the whole thing this weekend.  :)  Pretty decent show but doesn't

inspire me to read the books, oddly enough, though I do know the

author to be a good writer.  Oh well.

excited for the weekend
