Summary: long-winded
Review: I really enjoyed reading this series, but I'm sad that the story is losing much of its focus for a variety of reasons. Lord of Chaos continues a trend in the series. Books 1-4 move along at a very nice pace. Books 5-6 are obsessed with odd character quirks and the plot moves at a considerably slacker pace. Books 7-9 are mind-numbingly slow and the repetitive descriptions of character tendencies are quite tiresome, though they have inspired some excellently entertaining commentary in these quarters. In all, don't jump into the middle of the series; if you like the first 3 you'll probably want to read all of them, though you may want to borrow 5-9.

Summary: Don't waste your time.
Review: A friend gave me the first six books of WOT. I read all of them, and now I don't really understand why I wasted my time.Jordan has built a quite respectable and interesting world, and the plot isn't worse than others. But the abundance of clichés make for a tiresome read. Why is the moon *always* waxing? Why does *everybody* lick his/her lips now and then? The list goes on and on. Another irksome fact of WOT is the silly conflict between the sexes throughout the whole series. In WOT, women tend to think that men are wool-headed lummoxes, and men despair because they really don't understand women. These facts are repeated hundreds of times, in case you didn't understand them the first time. Jordan must think that this is amusing, but it's just annoying. Well, in a nutshell, I must say that I don't care what's going to happen to this band of peevish "reluctant heroes" any more. Jordan lost me here. There are many good fantasy writers out there (Guy Gavriel Kay and George R. R. Martin come to mind), so there is really no need to bother with hacks like Robert Jordan. Please do yourself a favor and DON'T BUY THIS BOOK.

Summary: This is my ALL TIME FAVE BOOK!!
Review: since you already know what it is I'd be saying here, I wont go on and on, because I know most people won't want to read it.
I'd just like to say that this book ended wonderfully! absolutely loved it, sent chills up and down my spine, GO JORDAN!!

Summary: absolutely excellent
Review: one thing i've always had against fantasy stories, including this series is that they never seem to give the enemies more than a two dimensional characterization. this one attempts it rather well with the forsaken and some of the darkfriends, but trollocs are just fodder for rand's lightning strikes.
but my own pet pieves aside, this story is rich and complex. this world that robert jordan has created is imaginative and innovative. it may seem like he is using some stereotypes from our own cultures throughout our world, but he's mixed it up well enough to be considered his own creation. the story will engross you, as it should and you will be caught up in the characters' drive for survival. enjoy it, and all nine books so far.

Summary: Same Schlock Different Book
Review: Let me start off by saying I hope the guy gets well, I've heard he's encountered some health problems, I wish him the best; his books on the other hand... I got sucked into these hardback novacaine shots on the recommendation of a friend and now I'm reading them just to return them sooner. I don't know what people are like on Jordan's planet, but here on earth they're nothing like the moronic, annoying, shallow, sniveling, wigglers in these books, and this one has to be the most pointless yet. I read and read and read and nothing of any note happened. The characters do dumb things just for the sake of the plot continuing, the bad guys make me yawn, every city is the same. Let me tell you though, If I read one more page devoted entirely to an outfit, or hear about how stubborn yet beautiful a woman is I'm heading straight for the wood chipper and I'm heaving my friends books in. The only reason I gave it two stars instead of one is for the fact that the series started out with some scope, a tenuous grasp on something larger than the world of man. That's long since vanished in the soap opera dithering that can loosely be called dialogue, but I'm hoping that the upcoming books will get back on track.

Summary: The best so far
Review: Quite simply i think this is the best book so far just for the fantastic ending which lets just say WOW.
how anyone who can write a book like this and then have the next two books to be so poor is beyond me at least book 9 it does start to get interesting again.
Am i alone in wanting the forsaken to be more powerful though they are suppose to be the best there ever was.

Summary: his worst
Review: Am I the only one who thinks Jordan hates women? Why are all his female characters so manipulative, competative, and controlling? His books tend to start by re-intoducing the characters (since you may not have seen them in 1000 pages), setting up things tediously for 500 pages, then concluding in an exciting finale that somehow makes you ready to trudge through the next one. For a lovely reduction of the plot (which is pretty cool) and better writing, see the myriad of Wheel of Time fan-webpages.

Summary: For Better or for Worse...
Review: ...Lord of Chaos is the book that all future volumes will be compared with, and I know that might be unfair, but... Let me put it this way - I just finished reading it, and I could read it again right away. That's how much I loved reading Lord of Chaos. Also Recomended: The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling, The Left Behind series by Tim LaHayn and Jerry B. Jinkins, The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkin, The Shannara series by Terry Brooks, The Saga of Darren Shan by Darren Shan, and the Remnants series by K.A. Applegate

Summary: lord of chaos
Review: one word I would use to describe this book:awesome. The plot subtleties will keep you on your toes and the grand and gritty battle scenes will have you gasping for air. The 6th book in The Wheel of Time series will not disapoint. The schemings of the dread Forsaken will make you think and the triumphs of Rand and company will excite you. Hardcore Wheel of Timers will love this epic. Worth every cent.

Summary: Imagine a 1000 page book on making your morning breakfast...
Review: First your alarm goes off and you want to shut it off. But it is out of reach so you decide to get out of bed first. Unfortunately, the light is not on. Turning the light switch does not provide light...perhaps the bulb burned out or the plug is not in. You check the plug...it is in. You try another light...it does not work...ah! perhaps you blew a fuse...etc. etc. Three hundred pages later you make it out of your bedroom. Still need to get to the kitchen, and who knows what will happen in between? But... is all that really interesting... and if you get to work on time... is it really important? Books 2 and 3 were great. The rest of this series is putting me to sleep... it doesn't work... I am loosing interest... and I am not sure where Jordan is going with this. More importantly, I no longer care!
