Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic if you live long enough!
Review: You will love Jordan if you love Tolkien. I disagree with most people that claim Jordan is a better writer (and what exactly is the criterion one uses for judging "better", anyway?). You should read this series because it is a masterpiece.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: No room for interpretation.
Review: If Robert Jordan had been the author of the Bible we would have a better world today. Everyone would know exactly was was said without room for individual interpretation.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Yuck
Review: I bought this book thinking that it would be as good as the rest. It came nowhere close. The book was difficult to read, full of information that we really did not need to know, and just plain uninteresting. I am going to wait until the last book of this series comes out before I even consider picking up another one of the Wheel of Time books.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If only he could write faster
Review: I have read all books comprising this series, and all I can say is : I wish I didn't have to wait between releases. I maintain the entire reality within my head while reading each latest installment and can't wait for Rand to kick alitle a**. Mr. Jordan- you have a magnificent imagination and I love the complexity of your plots. Please, write like the wind wild one.

Summary: The Best
Review: I started reading The Wheel of Time around 1993. Since then I haven't found another author to keep me intrested like R J. At least once a week I think about the next book...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Too many want something for nothing....
Review: It is unfortunate that the truly insipid wish only to be entertained for the length of time they desire. Jordan is writing a 'history' of a world, one in which history repeats itself, with many different faces. I agree that the plot in CoS is not fast-paced, but I also point out that I have read the seven books at least ten times each, and am still pondering direction and growth...I have one question to ask of the nay-sayers, and it is '...Do you truly believe?...'. Those readers who can suspend disbelief and enter the world have no problem with the plot stalling, nor with characters seeming to hold the same qualities the group to which they are members. After all, the ones most griped about all belong to groups where their individuality is somewhat submerged by the overall group focus. Think on that, and how many characters are/have/will be created and expanded...and learn to spell a little better, please..... Remember this, life is not one fast-paced event after another, not unless you live an out-of-control lifestyle. And one last question--'...Why should Jordan's characters act as you want? They ARE in a different world, after all...'

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: People miss the point
Review: Ok, I'm weighing in on this one. I love the series, I liked the book, and I don't think its going to stop untill book 12. Just a feeling, but why not. Of course, we live in mortal fear that Jordan will suffer some tragic accident before he finishes. I agree, this wasn't the best book in the series. However, I think it was needed to set up the next couple. It layed a very good foundation for book 8, and began the downslope towards the series' conclusion. Book 6 was the turning point, and Jordan had to take time in book 7 to address things that have been left dangling. And, of course, to dangle us some more. For all those who criticize Jordan for taking too long, I'd advise them to relax and enjoy it. I've reread all of the books many many times (at least 5 times each), and every time I find another small detail that I miss. Ah well.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Crap
Review: What the hell is wrong with Robert Jordan? I personally think he should do us all a favour and re-write LoC so that that skirmish at the end becomes Tarmon G'aidon and end the pathetic series there and then! Book Seven was the biggest wank I have ever read and I would have given it a '0' if '1' hadn't been the lowest rating. What is the deal with every single woman being a carbon copy of the next? Who the hell gave him the idea that all men think alike and all women think alike? Why are all the female characters so unpleasant? Being female myself, I want to like them and I want to take their side in the battle of the sexes but why the hell do they keep winning with arguments that hold about as much water as a seive? The worst one of the series so far and I have the feeling this series is going to keep on rolling downhill into the Pit of Doom. Isn't worth the paper it's written on!
