reviewed The Pillars of Creation by Terry Goodkind (The Sword of Truth (7))

Review of 'The Pillars of Creation' on 'Goodreads'

Lots of people I've talked to state that this entire side plot should have been left out, but when going into the eighth book in the series, without the backstory on Jennsen Rahl, the continuing main plot wouldn't make sense ... as long as Jennsen is included.

Mark Minasi, Kevin Greene, Christian Booth, Robert Butler, John McCabe, Robert Panek, Michael Rice, Stefan Roth: Mastering Windows Server 2012 R2 (2013)

Review of 'Mastering Windows Server 2012 R2' on 'Goodreads'

This book was wonderful; gave lots of information on all facets of the operating system. It would have been nice had more been discussed about ADFS as well as the Windows server Essentials role, and how it fits into larger organizations, but other than that, it was very complete in the short amount of material covered about each subject.
