Summary: Great sequal
Review: Well, I thought this book started out kinda slow, but once I got to around page 300, it started to really take off...like, REALLY take off. I read the last 400 pages in 2 days, and I don't really read that fast...I just couldn't put it down.Okay, here's the beef I have with people, though. If somebody didn't complain that he writes too descriptively, they'd complain that he DIDN'T write descriptive enough. And what's with everybody comparing every little action to Tolkein? Is the 'art' of just reading a book for the mere enjoyment of displacing your mind for a few hours a week gone? If you wish to read a book that studies and compares Tolkein work, go to your local library, and pick up a biography of Tolkein. Sheesh. Well, enough of my bantering. I loved this book, and I'm on the Dragon Reborn, which is good so far. Try not to let your head explode reading for fun, people. It's not real :)

Summary: Page after page, it just keeps getting better.
Review: Rarely do I find myself liking a 'book 2' as much as a 'book 1', but this was as good a sequel as I could possibly hope for. The Great Hunt is a Great Read.

Summary: Excellent piece of art, "Ars Literature"
Review: For anyone who has read this book....I need say nothing. For nothing I could possibly say could exalt this book or the others to a higher plane of greatness. I wrote this though for a more important reason. The reason is this: Stop !@#$!&@ comparing Jordan to Toliken in Philosophical banter!!!!Let the man stand on his own merits as a truely masterful writer. Feel free to sent me any comments

Summary: A smooth follow-up needing more character development
Review: The second in the series is not nearly as descriptive of the personalities as the first. Nevertheless, the different spin in presenting the saga only gives the series more depth. Rand's buddies deserve a bit more attention here as does the Aes Sedai culture. Maybe more will follow in the future books. Im planning to order the third book today.

Summary: Good book, but not the best
Review: This series is some of the best fantasy i have ever read, but it cannot come close to Tolkien's The Trilogy of the Ring. Jordan obviously uses some of Tolkien's ideas, such as the Uncrowned King. He also uses Tokien's device of large amounts of information and legends presented in the story, but Jordan does not interweave this history as well as Tolkien did into the story.

Summary: Heart-pounding adventure
Review: Well to tell you the truth, the first time I read TGH I quit about 400 pages in. I guess I just couldn't handle the coolness. I came back to the series and re-read TGH and man it rocked. A riveting story right to the end that really gets attentive readers hopelessly hooked on the Wheel of Time saga. By the way, is the most common bird in Hickville, USA the turkey?

Summary: Just incredible!!!!
Review: The Eye Of The World was a fantastic book, this one goes even further. The range of characters take a further step here, for instance Loial, who is new to the series. I am now soon finished with Shadow Rising, and he must be one of my favorite characters. The first describing sentences of him really made me laugh. This book is about the wild hunt Rand, the soliders from Shienar etc. have to go through to get The Horn back from Padan Fain. And who would forget Egwene's unpleasant meeting with the Seanchan? I'm in no doubt. Robert Jordan must be Tolkien in disguise. In his first two books he has brought everything a true fantasy-reader could dream of. Cheers!

Summary: The book that really gets thsis series going
Review: While The Eye of the World was a good introduction, this book is what made this series legendary. With a good pace and great character development, it sizzled to arguably the best climax in the series. When Masema utters," I am your man, my Lord Dragon.....to the death." I knew exactly how he felt!!!

Summary: This is the best one, In my opinion
Review: This, I think is the best Wheel of Time book. It has a really wonderful story, and I couldn't put it down! I would especially like to comment on the chapter, The Grave is no Bar to my Call. That was so good, I swear I could actually feel the heros of the horn coming back! I think this book is the best of the Wheel of Time series, which must be very good because ALL the books are excellent. Robert Jordan is the most original and wonderful story teller I have ever read. His plot is confusing, but it altogether makes sense. The story is so intricate, but I still seem to be able to follow. I can't wait for Jordan to write more of the series!
Rating:
Summary: Much better than the first one!
Review: In this book, the Wheel of Time reaches a completely new level. The first book was OK, but now Jordan forgets Tolkien, and starts inventing his own things and putting them on the book. Theres still a few lacks, such as: 1) There's supposed to bee THREE Ta'veren from Emonds Field exploring the Great World, so please Mr. Jordan, give Mat and Perrin some space too, don't just make story about Rand. 2) All the characters (excluding Rand and Moiraine) are badly written and completely similiar. Better characters, please! But all in all, this is really worth reading!
