I started out watching the show...Then I started the books. I'm on 'Soul of the fire' so far, and I watched the first 2 episodes of season 2 of 'Legend of the Seeker' and hated how they say it's based on 'Stone of Tears',when it's actually NOTHING like the book. I stopped watching the minute I saw Kahlan go into the Con Dar, and Richard held her down...He would NEVER be able to hold her down.
At least in the first season they had some elements of the first book in there.
