Summary: Best book
Review: I love this book!!! Heck I love the whole series, but I like this book the best because it has alot of story concerning Perrin. Perrin is my all time favorite character. To those of you who have never read this series before, this is a must read, if u liked J.R.R. Tolkien or Frank Herbert, you really MUST READ this!!!!!!!!! This series you can read over and over again, and you will not get board because every time you reread it, you will pick up the little, yet signifigant details that you missed the last time. I've read this series 4 times, and even on the fourth time I was still very much engrossed in these books. Even though this series looks really long, it isn't, considering that you'll love it so much that you will read, and read and read untill you have finnished the series in two weeks. I've spent hours just reading this, and when i stopped, i couldn't believe how much time had actually passed. These books bring you into the story, so you feel like you're experiencing all the struggles, physical or mental, hardships, and friendships. Just to answer the question that you may be thinking, but you don't want to ask, no, i am not a fanatic, it's just this series is sooooo good

Summary: JORDAN ROCKS DA HOUSE ONCE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Still keeping the same Trolloc-buttkicking plot (with other twists to keep us comin' back for more!), the Shadow Rising is as good as ever, if a bit slow at times. The events in Tanchico and the author finally doing something with this Bors person (not to mention the whole Ordeith/Fain thing) keep you on the balls of your feet up until the very end. A great series, and an especially great book, (although I can say I liked The Great Hunt a bit more) HIGHLY recommended to ANYONE who likes fantasy.

Summary: Oh, yeah!
Review: I am a 14-year old girl with no patience and hardly any attention span at all (you know how we teenage girls are!) and I have to say, this series has had me HOOKED from Book One. Rand, after getting proof of just exactly who he is, continues his fight against the Shadow, while all around his world chaos multiplies. Robert Jordan has done a wonderful job of mixing action and adventure with romance in very intricate detail. You skip so much as one page, you miss something important. Every page is essential. The only thing I'm not sure of is how Perrin "Goldeneyes" Aybara fits in...I guess the Pattern has yet to make his purpose clear. This series is greater than epic: the word hasn't been invented that can describe this series, and (so far: they've been getting better and better!) THE SHADOW RISING is the pinnacle of it all...I hope that Book Five continues this trend. This is a must-read for everyone at some point. You've got to get this series.

Summary: Oh, yeah! Gotta get my paws on the next book!
Review: This whole series, right from Book 1, has been absolutely fantastic, and each book is better than the last! (Although Book 1 was right in there with the rest of them.) Mr. Jordan keeps adding new plot twists, and I must say, he's come up with some pretty surprising developments! The appearance of the Black Ajah in Book 2, Ordeith and the Aiel/People of the Dragon in Book 3, Rand, as usual, keeps everyone on their toes and 1 step behind at all times. The girls come up with a...strange...way of keeping in touch over long distances. This is a true literary masterpiece! Everyone needs to read this series, and this book especially! It really clears up a lot of mysteries that went unanswered through the first three books.

Summary: Good book, great series
Review: It's a great story. Jordan definitely has something here. His only flaw is writing every book as if new readers were jumping in in the middle of the series. He explains everything over again, wasting words. Other than that, it's wonderful.

Summary: Adrenalin pumping with a dollop of valium.
Review: The book is brillant in my opinion as are all the the WOT books, yet no book is perfect (although The Great Hunt was right up there) and for one am not going to criticise, just have a little winge. Yes buy now in the series (after the Dragon Reborn) we are all to familiar with the females (Aes Sedai, Min and Faile) and by crikey they really start to get on your nerves, with their eternal criticism of the male sex. With that said it`s Jordans world and that`s how people are so like it or lump it. The Guys yes well, still killing trollocs and winning pouches of gold. The battle scenes in Shadow Rising are brillant and in looking back the wheel of time has truly turned for these Two Rivers folk. All in all Shadow Rising is typical WOT and after Dragon Reborn quite refreshing. It is nice to get back to Rand although it seems we have missed quite a bit since Falme to Tear, quite like the gaps in Matrims memory. Stick with it guys it makes the finales all the more worth it. Groundzero.

Summary: Where is this going?
Review: Ok. Books one and two were really great. Book three was good for the first 200 and the last 200 pages but I was still interested. But book four was absolutely boring. I felt as if nothing was happenning. With all due respect to Mr. Jordan I didn't even finish the book.(Quit with a couple of hundred pages to go) If you want to read a real series, read Tim Lahaye's Left Bedind series.

Summary: an exciting,well-written adventure
Review: Robert Jordan writes with the stark vision of light and darkness,and sometimes childish sense of wonder. The Shadow Rising is a complex tapestry of fascinating characters,descriptive details and events. I highly recommend this book and the whole series to anyone who loves epic fantasy.
