The Shadow Rising (The Wheel of Time, Book 4)

Rating:
Summary: A really great book!!!
Review: I'd recommend this book for readers ages 10 and up.....this is a quest to live until the last battle and to have the advantages so the darkfriends, forsaken one's, black Aes Sedai, Trollocs,Fades,etc, so they won't get them. It is about 3 young men that find out that they are ta'veren, Rand (dragon) ,Mat (gambler),Perrin (talks to wolves and the senses of them).They meet some people and they try to separate them from friends and enemys.It has Mideville time and Magic in the book. I also recommend the other 5 books of his..... So read them!

Summary: Nothing can compare!
Review: This book, this whole series, has enthralled me from the begining. I have never read anything as grand as this. The Shadow Rising just adds to the series. My life has been filtered down to three things. Eat, sleep(when I can) and read The Wheel of Time. Some may complain that it is too long, that it drags on; but I hope it never ends. Who would have thoughts that Perrins adventures in Edmond's Feild would be the best part of the book. Wow! I hope Jordan writes this series for another 200 installments. Well maybe not, I have to work sometime. Action, romance, adventure, suspence, humor and even brain twisting political schemes. Yep that about sums it up. Read it!!!!

Review: DEFINETELY THE BEST!!! I am all for the Wheel of imeseries, and I'd have to say that this is a great addition to the story. This book is definately inspiring me to read on. At the end of each chapter there is a cliff to make you read on. I'd have to say that the four books of the Wheel of Time series that I have read have been the BEST books that I have ever read in my LIFE! I can't waitto move on to the next book. OVER ALL MARVELOUS!!!

Summary: THIS BOOK ROCKS BUT.....
Review: R. JORDAN DOES A FANTASTIC JOB WITH THE ENTIRE SERIES AND IT IS UNPARALLEDBY ANY OTHER SERIES. THE ONLY HANG UP IS THAT THE BEGINING OF EACH BOOK SPENDS TOO MUCH TIME RE-INTRODUCING CHARACTERS AND EXPLAINING THE SETTING AND PLOT. KEEP UP THE CHOICE WORK ROBERT!!!

Summary: A wonderful series Mr. Jordan.
Review: The farther into the series you go the more the plot builds up. It is also increasingly harder to keep track of all the characters names, and customs. But I think the farther into the series you go the better the plot becomes. I only have one complaint - thiers a lot of detail sometimes it's is nessasary and sometimes it's not needed. I can hardly wait to read the next book of the series.

Rating:
Summary: Favorite book in the series
Review: This is EASILY my favorite book in the series with Perrin fighting Fain, and Isam/Luc in the Two-rivers, and Rand setting out to find out if he is the Aiel's Cara'carn. Mat Is also in for a big surprise as he discovers just how lucky he really is. And all the while you follow Elayne, Egwene, Nynaeve, and now Aviendha who is Egwene's aiel friend and training to become a Wise one

Rating:
Summary: More top notch fiction/fantasy from Jordan
Review: A grand book. Three full-blown plots to run circles around your mind, and another plot that is also too big to just be one of the hundreds of subplots.

Rating:
Summary: WOW!
Review: What else can one say but WOW? Jordan has done it again! Once again the reader is treated to a wonderful tapestry of fantasy and adventure woven by the words of Robert Jordan. Here we see our main character(s) continuing on their journey fated to them ever since they left their small town three books ago. I just got done reading this book and am so exhilirated it is unbelievable. I would never have thought that a book could do this to me. I found myself rushing to get to the next page, the next chapter to find out what happened next. It was GREAT! I loved every moment of it. I don't know how Jordan does it but he has written the best series of books that I have ever read, and I am sure he will continue to do so until the stunning conclusion of "The Wheel of Time". The only negative aspect I found in this book was that I had a hard time keeping up with all of the different names of the Aiel. Including their septs and titles as well as customs. The book as a whole however was so amazing that it was almost an insignificant problem. I can't wait to read the next book! I would really like to hear from other Jordan fans out there so drop me a line. It is always nice to talk to people with the same interests as me

Summary: Another great read by Jordan
Review: With book 4, Jordan once again presents a well written, entertaining novel. Though the plot is slowed by an onslaught of physical details, the book still manages to hold your attention. It also tells more about the history of Jordan's land, and allows the reader to learn the history of the mysterious Aiel. The only I had with the novel is that it doesn't really bring the series any closer to a finale than any of the first three books. There is no way one series can go on forever, but Jordan does seem to be making an effort with THE WHEEL OF TIME
