The Great Hunt : Book Two of 'The Wheel of Time'

Rating:
Summary: A whole new world in a whole new age.
Review: I find this book and the rest of the Wheel of Time series utterly fantastic. I couldn't put any of them down. Robert Jordan is a master at creating a whole new world in a whole new age. I find a bit of everything I love about reading in each of the books in the series.

Summary: OH PLEASE
Review: The first was good, but this was a very, very, very bad book. Yes there is such a thing as TOO MUCH detail. I mean, how can an author write such a great first novel and then screw up so completely in the second installment? I won't even bother to summarize this 700 page bore, but I will tell you one thing about the plot of this book. The legendary Horn of Valare was stolen from Rand, stolen back by Rand, stolen from him again, and then recovered at the end. Talk about a space waster. That book could have been 300 pages shorter and been classified as excellent. I guess he was trying to make this book as immpresively long as his first, but the result was TRASH. If you liked the first one, don't dicourage yourself, get a discription from a poor friend who had to suffer trough this book. Jordan does try to emulate Tolkien, but with this book didn't even come close. A Very Disappointed Reader

Summary: I loved it!!
Review: I really loved this book. It was the first one of the series that I read, and I had it finished in a week. It hooked me on the series. It is so involved that , you just can't put it down!! I would recomend it to anyone who would like to read an interesting book, though you may want to start with the first book in the series. That makes this one make a lot more sense to begin with.

Summary: Quite Exquisite
Review: This book occupied most of my free time for about three weeks, and I must say it was well worth it. Robert Jordan, I bow to your skilled wordcraft and breathtaking plot weaving. I only hope the next 6 (hopefully more) are like this.

Summary: The Great Hunt
Review: The Great Hunt by Jordan is an enthralling adventure tale that has to be one of the best examples of how to write a follow-up when the predescesor is the great Eye of The World. These books are very accessible to fans of fantasy and to those who value realism. Some may argue that they are grander in scope than Tolkien's masterful Lord of the Rings trilogy. This reviewer cannot and will not validate this most difficult of questions. They are both fantastic works. In the Great Hunt, we follow Rand al'Thor and his friends as they seek to eradicate the dark one and free the world of his tyranny. All the characters return from the first installment and there are some surprises from the modern day master of the art of fantasy writing, Robert Jordan. Trollocs, Fades, Aes Sedai and False Dragons abound in this extraordinary follow-up. If Eye of The World provided the imagination with color, The Great Hunt lets us paint the pictures.

Summary: He did it again
Review: After reading the Eye of the World, I was thinking to myself: "Can it get any better?" But then I read The Great Hunt and I knew the answer was yes. It's got the same flavor s the Eye of the World, but as the story unfolds, it becomes better and better, more characters pass by and you find out more about the world, which was already detailed in Eye of the World. Anyway, it's way too tough for me to describe how cool it is, because no words have been invented for this amount of coolness so far, but believe me, when you read it, you're gonna yearn for more. Fortunately there's still a part 3 and 4 and 5 and so on. Really cool.

Summary: Simply the best...
