Rating:  Summary: The whole series is great Review: for those of you who are knocking the books for the characters not maturing, i have to remind you of the part in the first book about Two Rivers folk being able to teach stones and mules, of course they'd have the same habits as when they where younger. I only gave this book a nine because nothing yet has reached J.R.R. Tolkien, yet
Rating:  Summary: More top notch fiction/fantasy from Jordan Review: Another Jordan-standard book that can't be beat.
This volume not only keeps the high expectations,
but it also grand finale to "change the world
forever."
Rating:  Summary: wheel of time Review: read it in several languages just for practice, and, of course, fun
Rating:  Summary: Yet another superb book Review: I always read the other people reviews before I write my own to see what they liked or even disliked about the book. Myself I thought this book started out a little slow but really enjoyed the ending with Rand breaking out...but ah you must read to discover the ending for yourself...
Personnally I don't understand why people give bad reviews and yet keep reading the series when they appear to hate it terribly. I mean really in one of the reviews farther down the page the person didn't understand why Rand hated seeing the Far Dareis Mai die. Well isn't it obvious why he would hate to see women dying? other then the somewhat bizarre plot twists at times I completely enjoyed reading this book.
Rating:  Summary: Good things come... Review: The Wheel of Time series is one very good series, if not the best currently out there in this genre. I read other reviews complaining that the series was long, drawn out and that the characters never seem to grow. These people don't seem to realize how little time has passed for these characters, in spite of the grand adventures they have had. In showing us how these characters are reacting to events, and detailing their personal thoughts, Mr. Jordan has created a very believeable group of people. Tolkien only wrote five books on Middle-Earth, and his plot was much more straightforward than Jordan's. It takes a long time in order to fully develop such a convoluted plot, and when new major characters are introduced in every book (Ther are NO minor characters) the plot becomes infinitely more complex. If this tale takes less than ten books to finish (Mission: Earth took that many) then the tale could not possibly be fully told. RJ has developed over three dozen characters interacting on a global scale, their stories (Each could be treated as a book in itself) cannot be resolved thoroughly without this entire series continuing on for at least another five books.
Rating:  Summary: Excellent book Review: This book was as good and better as the five preceding it.How anyone can say that this series is boring is beyond me. Aes Sedai,Forsaken,Seanchan, ogier, these and more make this series spectacular! IT is a must read and i give it a ten
Rating:  Summary: "Is he doing this just for money?" "Probably" Review: I met a friend of mine a week ago. He had two more
WoT books for me to read. The reason I gave 3 is
simple: Nothing ever happens.
First there is nothing but endless scheming and
planning, and, quite frankly, I think most
of the characters are idiots. Why can't people
ever get together (Rand should be able to do that, 200 Asha'man at your doorstep can be very convincing), and talk. Pedron Niall, for example,
should have a long look and stop fooling around.
And then there's the obligatory action part,in
the final chapter. I really, really hate that.
And Rand has an annoying problem with dead Maidens, which is IMHO ridiculous. If you
have battle, you have casualties.
Rating:  Summary: Jordan pulls off another great book Review: This book is great because it is different. In this book Rand does not go off and bash the Forsaken
but he makes sure his power in his conquered nations is stable. Althought the The Wheel of Time is a little long it is great. This was a great book that I recomend to anyone who really likes fantasy, and if you didn't like it
you didn't read the whole book or you should stop reading fantasy altogether.
Rating:  Summary: Mr. Jordan.......Can I have your autograph? Review: BUY THIS BOOK!!!! It will be a collectors item soon. There is only one thing I have to say about this whole series though. The women in it are a bunch of obsolete GIRLS that need their face smacked. But I does turn the tables on the men to show that in the deep of women's minds thats how they really are. Its good to finally have an author that can get you in that deeply
Rating:  Summary: The best book in the definative fantasy series of our time Review: The Wheel of Time is by far the Best Fantasy since the Lord Of the Rings, and Lord of Chaos is the best book in the series so far. With intricate plot twists and amazing cohesiveness Lord of Chaos follows a large cast and multiple storylines providing a continent spanning adventure.
Robert Jordan's characters are well developed and complex, complete people with virtues, vices, merits, and flaws that make them real and interesting. The story is well crafted and captivating. DO NOT START THIS BOOK IF YOU HAVE TO WORK IN THE MORNING.
