Rating: Summary: WoT Rules Review: Robert Jordan is a brilliant writer as you read these books he describes the world in so much detail that you ca picture every step the characters take you become one with the charcters.:)I would suggest these books to anyone and not just to other fantasy lovers WoT is more.Like acion? well theres plenty of it in these books? and for the lady how about romanace? its here too.hmm and if you think about some sci-fi too hmmm any wot reader that paid attencion to the books well know what i mean and if you don't then you haven't read the books so go read them!!
Rating: Summary: This book is the most outstanding peice of work I have read Review: When my friends first encouraged me to read Jordan's work, I was skeptical. I never really put much effort into reading. The Eye of the World turned me around. Now I spend most of my time enjoying one of Jordan's great tales. whether it is a descriptive chapter or a great battle you half to marvel at his work.
Rating: Summary: Overrated and Disappointing Review: Although the beginning was a bit slow, I stuck with "The Eye of the World" and continued reading, hoping the story would eventually pick up. It didn't. Robert Jordan's eye for detail is the only positive element of this book. The story dragged on and on (too wordy!), I couldn't relate to any of the characters (frankly, I didn't care if Darkfriends bashed Rand's head in with a club), and there was no drama or suspense whatsoever (I knew what was going to happen a chapter before it did). The "climax" at the end was pathetic and not a climax at all. Read it if you have absolutely nothing else to do in your spare time.
Rating: Summary: the best book jordan has written, in my opinion. Review: Jordan, in this book, shows the beginning of a seemingly endless series of books known as the Wheel of Time series. Though I love this book and im planning on reading ALL of the others i wouldnt recommend this book to someone who isnt ready to follow a series by a man who will still be writing on his death-bed (but i hope it doesnt come to that, please dont plan on dying soon Mr. Jordan) people who have a short attention span couldnt have even read the first book but for those i HAVE recommended it to they have thanked me and recommended it to thier friends and acquaintances.
Rating: Summary: Best Book I will ever read in this lifetime Review: This book captures the heart of the mind in a world of evil shadowspawn, and brave warriors. He seems to bring alive each character individually and develope the worlds, walls, and attidutes that they each exist within. Robert Jordan will most certainly win many awards for his great accomplishment as a writer, for no other book that I have read, has so fully intruged and tingled my imagination such as this book.I only Have one more thing to say.....thank god there are more books to come.
Rating: Summary: Easily the best fantasy series yet. Review: It is true that Jordan's description of things sometimes gets boring. But if you focus on everything else, you'll forget about everything you didn't enjoy. What makes Robert Jordan's writing so exquisite is that he can create a world of good and evil with believable characters and an exciting plot. This is my HONEST TO GOD opinion! I am not sucking up AT ALL! In comparison with "The Lord of the Rings", the Eye of the World is much more detailed and described. It is more of an epic than Tolkien's work. Now, don't get me wrong. "The Lord of the Rings" is a beautiful, moving story full of magic and emotion. But it seems to me that Jordan's work is more of a series, while TLotR is more of a huge, single masterpiece. All in all, The Eye of the World is deeply recommended by me to anyone who is even thinking about attempting to maybe like fantasy.
Rating: Summary: a weel written..... Review: i have read all the tolkiens and terry brooks series and jordan , has his own style. for the gentleman who thinks everything in the book is a copy of someone elses stuff your wrong, except the hero of the world found in a villige no one in the world has heard of, thats was a copy .anyway its a must read for fantesy fans.
Rating: Summary: A must read Review: This is probably one of the greatest books ever written. The author really knows what words to use, and when. The characters are really developed and always find themselves in a scary situation. If you haven't read it, get it now
Rating: Summary: Robert Jordan - a great collector of other people's ideas.. Review: well, first the nazghul shows up at a sleepy little town, then our hesitant heroes run towards tar valon, in hopes of finding some answers to what fate has decreed. they stop at baerlon (bree), then an abandoned city (mines of moria), only to get split up (don't worry, boromir doesn't die in this one), then the story finally takes a bit of it's own course. perhaps most annoying is that *every* female is a demanding, irritable witch, and all the males are clueless groveling worms. when i need a fix for that i'll watch home mortgage and long distance calling commercials. even though the lead character is an invertebrate oaf with no skills of measureable worth; despite the fact that the few interesting objects manage to pull ignorance from the jaws of enlightenment; it is possible to strain a couple good ideas from the book when jordan decides to write his own story. my friends and acquaintances will urge me to read the next in this series, their new religion. i am interested that book 2 may expand the objects of interest in eye of the world. Tolkien, indeed! hrmph!
Rating: Summary: Might start slow, but this book surely picks up! Review: Eye of the World is an amzing book full with awesome descriptions and stunning characters. Jordan makes you feel like you are watching a movie with his style of writing. You can see everything going on inside of your mind with no effort at all. This book is definately one of the best fantasies ever written and I can't wait for Amazon to ship WOT book 2, The Great Hunt, to my doorstep!
