Summary: The Grreat Hunt is a masterpiece unto itself.
Review: I've read books of every genre, but Jordan's The Wheel of Time Series is a the top of my list, and I love The Great Hunt. In The Great Hunt, the nieve Emond's Fielders of The Eye of the World begin growing up and start realizing what their true potential is. With the theft of the Horn of Valere, our heroes must go off on the Great Hunt. The ta'veren scurry all over the known world in order to not only recover the Horn but keep it safe. Rand meets the beautiful and mysterious Selene, who is more trouble and danger than he is ready for. The Seanchan are invading from across the ocean and turmoil runs rampent. Meanwhile Egwene and Nynaeve begin their roads to becoming Aes Sedai. The Amyrlin Seat uses the young Novice (Egwene) and Accepted (Nynaeve) along with Rand's princess, Elayne, to search for the secret Black Ajah. Elayne's brother and half-brother, Gawyn and Galad, vie for Egwene's attention. The girls follow the trail of the Black Ajah, and one is captured to be sent back to the Seanchan empiress. If you like Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth Series, you will love The Wheel of Time Series.

Summary: Great Sequel
Review: This is a great book. Though I think the first was better. I really did enjoy this though. The ending was the best! I loved the ending, now I' can't wait to read the third! I could just suggest this to anyone who is reading the wot books. It is good. You get to know about some of these Sheniaren's or whatever how you spell it. I don't LIKE them! And for people who put R.J with Tolkien? WhAT? a hobbit, I don't see the simalarity. Okay........Well try this book, but read the first before you read anyother!

Summary: I LOVE THIS BOOK!
Review: Man, I love this book! It is second to only Lord of Chaos and The Lord of the Rings Series. I read this book in about 3 days because it was so enchanting with them trying to get Mat's Dagger and retrieving the Horn of Valere. I recommend though you start with The Eye of the World, another outstanding book, because if you don't this book will be Greek to you. If you don't like the Wheel of Time than you don't like true fantasy.

Summary: Outstanding!
Review: Continuing on with my journey through the Wheel of Time Series I found "The Great Hunt" to be a tremendous sequel to Eye of the World. Jordan thrusts you further into the Wheel of Time universe by deepening the character development, and cranking up the action. As the reader you almost feel the pull of Ta'veren towards the characters. Jordan creates the effect that your life is being drawn in and changed as you follow the story line.It will be interesting to see how long Jordan can maintain the momentum during the series, and how he chooses to tackle the difficulties of an ever-expanding story. I know some answers to these questions are already out there, however, I am still in book three, and I don't want my opinions to be tainted by the evaluations of others.

Summary: Engrossing and more development than the previous venture
Review: The Wheel of Time books were introduced to me by a friend, and once I started, it was wildfire. I admit that Jordan likes to rant, he likes to put 50+ main characters in his books, he likes to stray. But unlike many of the other authors who do this, you don't really notice and most of all, you actually ENJOY it! I was enthralled by the fact you were enlighted on the training procedures of the Aes Sedai, the military strategy and downfall of the Seanchan, the prejudicial workings of the Children of the Light. I love this stuff. It makes the characters real, it gives them more structures and basis for being where they are, thinking how they do, and reacting to situations differently than the rest of them. Each page fills you with more insight than the first. I cannot wait to finish The Dragon Reborn (the next book), and will eagerly await and read anything that Jordon publishes in the future. If there is an end, I don't see it in sight any time soon. Long live these books!

Summary: OOOPS SORRY!
Review: correction: I wrote a review for this book and just want to correct it that it was for "Eye Of The World" not this book. I personnally haven't read this book yet Sorry for the Trouble. I just couldn't go on without making this correction. The reason I put five stars is to correct the 4 stars I gave Eye of the World but this should make the average more correct.

Summary: Is this Tolkien Reincarnate? Great book, annoying at times!
Review: The characters can be so damn annoying at times! I didn't feel comfortable in the book for at least a hundred pages, and it didn't even give you a plot until 200 or so pgs in, So it was soo slow! But the details were great. It was only a beginning of a loooong epic. A must read for any fantasy fan.

Summary: The best so far
Review: Okay, some others may have read my negative reviews on Eye of the World and Dragon Reborn. Just to prove I'm not such a clod, The Great Hunt is the best of the bunch so far (I'm currently on page 600 of The Shadow Rising). I liked The Great Hunt because, unlike The Eye of the World and Dragon Reborn, the plot line doesn't wander as much; I don't get the sense that Jordan is just filling up space. The plot of The Great Hunt is fairly linear and straight forward--a stolen horn, and the chase to get it back. And when Jordan does wander, in the final third of the book, it's actually quite entertaining. I have to admit that all of the Senachan stuff thrilled me greatly; I was unable to put the damn book down. I was persuaded to read The Wheel of Time series by a friend. Though my tastes sway towards literary fiction, I've been trudging though Jordan's books as best I can. Sure, I may be critical at times (I think books one and three are borderline lousy), but it must say SOMETHING that I'm still reading the series (I'm on book four). Like a soap opera, I'm hooked!!!

Summary: Very, Very Fascinating! I Was Spellbound!
Review: What can one say that hasn't already been said about this great book? Absolutely nothing is what! Robert Jordan is an absolute genious and I look foward to reading more of his work.
