Summary: Characters Don't Grow In Wisdom
Review: I was going to give the "Lord of Chaos" an eight, but as I kept thinking about the characters having the same mentality as in book one, well, I thought better. As some of the other readers wrote, and correctly, they don't seem to get any wiser from past experiences. Let me write this again in caps: THEY DON'T GET ANY WISER FROM PAST EXPERIENCES. Also, the irritating 'chip-on-the-shoulder' the main character women have toward men folks. Always there's an upmanship-head game always playing out by Nynave, Elaine, Egwene, and that wanna-be queen. The men can also be infuriating by their submissivenes. After book six, I'm not going to read number seven. For me, this series is done.*************************

Summary: Jordan rocks with wheel series!
Review: Once again Robert Jordan has proven that he is a master at telling a tale!
Although the Wheel of Time series might seem a bit long, I can't imagine the story being told without taking as long as it has. He has drawn all of us into his world. We are right there along with Matt, Perrin, (my personal favorite character), and Rand as they fight for thier lives, and the lives of those they love. Not to mention countless people they don't know.
The way Mr. Jordan interweaves the many plots is pure writting genious! You can't help but be swallowed up by the whole story. Each seperate plot is bound (no pun intended) to the next. You find yourself swept along at such a pace that the book seems done and you've only just picked it up.
I think that any sci-fi, adventure reader would love this series and recomend it highly. So if you've been wondering if you should pick it up, DO IT!! Besides, the hard cover edition looks great on the book shelf. I also noticed that a few readers who have left their comments befor me, mostly the ones who knocked the books and Mr. Jordan, were hoping that the next book would be the last. Well I heard that it is a nine book series, so I guess that you'll just have to live with it till the story ends. Mr. Jordan is not the type of writer who will just end a story, at least not untill the story is over. So sit back and relax and let the rest of the story unfold as it was ment to.

Summary: Unoriginal mindless reading.
Review: This series maked me depressed.. My brother was enthralled with this series, and he convinced me to read them. When I was finished, the only consoling thought was that at I didn't pay for them. While the books are well writen, the plot leaves much to be desired, and gets worse as the books progress. How a author can write seven books based on such a unoriginal plot and cast of charactors is beyond me. Somehow it is not surprising that Mr Jordon also wrote a number of conan novels.
You might as well be watching TV.

Summary: When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Keep Buying
Review: My cousin got me going on these, and I keep trying to convince him he's nuts. After six telephone books of nothingness, this series is like an EverReady bunny...it keeps going and going and going. Further and further into nothingness. Bring on the bad guys already and let's duke it out. I hate quitters, so I know I'll plow through the sequel--I forget just why

Summary: i can't get enough of robert jordan
Review: It takes me only a few days to read one of his
books, and Lord of Chaos is no exception. I cannot
put his books down. They may seem long, but that
is only due to the fact that he gives each character the opportunity to develop fully. I
learn more about each character with each new
book. I only wish Mr. Jordan would come out with
a new book every month!

Summary: Robert Jordan, the genius of "The Wheel of Time" rocks!!!!
Review: Robert Jordan, the genius creator of "The Wheel of Time" series puts readers right next to Rand al'Thor. Each book is like a world, conveniently carried around in a nice package. Seven books are written and an eighth, I've heard, is coming out in February of '98. We all eagerly await the arrival. No other writer holds a candle to the infinate possibilities in Robert Jordan's worlds. The story appeals to all as the Aes Sedai struggle to gain hold over Rand al'Thor as he struggles with himself and the voice of Lew Therin Telemon inside his head. The story is elaboratly dressed in mystique, fun, adventure, and love. Reading his books have me up to midnight every night, bouncing and squeeling in anxiety at what might happen to Nynaeve in her battle with Moghedian; or Rand as he is locked in the chest.
Nothing compares to Robert Jordan's books!! Kristopher

Summary: Jordan does it again!
Review: Once again, readers have waited and Robert Jordan has deliverd! When I got the call from my local bookstore that The Lord Of Chaos was in, I actually tremble with excitement. Some people are saying how long and drawn out the plots are and that the characters are not maturing. Open your eyes people! Jordan has done something to me that no author has done since Tolkien. I find myself constantly in the series rereading my favorite parts. The scope and depth of this series is unbelievable. Lord of Chaos was everything I had hoped for and more. I have been reading this series now for almost four and a half years, far longer than I waited for any other series to be completed. I would wait another five years; that's how much I love this vast tapestry that Jordan has spun. I have read A Crown of Swords, and I cannot wait to get my hot little hands on the next book. The best way I can describe this series to someone who has not yet read it, is that it is a journey. Every book in the series that I finish is the closing of a journey, and I wish to God that I had not read the first book yet, so I could experience all the wonder, sorrow, joy, and magic that this series has given me. To quote Bilbo Baggins, "The road goes ever on. Down from the door where it began..." Well, this road goes ever on, and I sincerely hope it is a long time before I find myself back at the door from which it began

Summary: The definitive exploration of fantasy writing in our time.
Review: Robert Jordan continues his complex tale of Rand , the Dragon Reborn, a man born to save the world and in doing so scorch it beyond recognition. In this book, Rand continues his struggle against waiting maddness and ever more determined foes, while the Dark One begins seeding the land with chaos. A must Read!!

Summary: This book was spectacular!!
Review: Robert Jordan has outdone himself once again with, The Lord of Chaos. It shows his great ability to write a story with a numerous amount of characters that are almost all equally important. I also like his new addition of writing from the Forsakens' perspective. He may not be as popular as Tolkien but he can definitly write just as well if not better. This book answers so many questions about, The Wheel of Time series, but asks so many more. If you do read this, which I highly suggest, make sure you have nothing planned for the next few hours. After your done with this book you will be so in to this magnifacent fantasy world that you will feel as if it is your own, and you are right in the middle of everything that is happening

Summary: Dragging its feet, but the Wheel of Time continues...
Review: I thought this book in the Wheel of Time was definitely an improvement over the previous two books. Being well written and described, I found it hard to believe that LOC was nearly 700 pages long, though it still left many questions in the air. Personally, I would much prefer it if Robert Jordan just cut out the part about the bowl ter'angreal and the like, and concentrate on Tarmon Gaidon and the Black Tower, nothing else fazes me. I have yet to read ACOS; i hope it was as interesting as this book was.
