Summary: A good read that has me hooked until the end of the series.
Review: Robert Jordan my hat is off to you! This(and the others in the series)book was great!I couldn't put it down. Rand Al'Thor is my favorite character in the book. A co-worker turned me on to Eye Of the World and I've been hooked ever since.Thanx!

Summary: AWESOME
Review: all who read the first- he's done it again! this is far from your typical fantasy in feeling alone. LEASHED ONES! i got so angry. how can the al-dam do that to thier damane? read this to find how Rand braves the next adventure against the dark lord, Ba-alzamon. AWESOME READING, however long it is, you should read it!!!

Rating:
Summary: One word, awesome!
Review: There are no words for this book. It is just great. The development of Jordan's characters gets broader and the plot just gets bigger and better. If you want a great story, this is the series to read.

Rating:
Summary: Though it has flaws it is gripping
Review: I liked this book more than the first one. However here, just like in the first book, some of the characters act stupid e.g. Rand always denying that he is a lord. But it is a gripping book, with a lot of secrets and several stories developing simultaneously. Read it!

Summary: Jordan takes off
Review: While I enjoyed the prequel, Eye of the World, the second book far surpasses it. Unlike Eye, the Great Hunt gives no hint of ripping off Tolkien in plot, and the book benefits tremendously for it. Jordan is a master of running multiple plots at once. However, one thing he didn't abandon was his ability to describe things. His attention to little detail, like how houses are built differently in different countries, is the leading factor in his ability to make his world real. If his books keep this pace, this series may yet out do Tolkien.

Summary: Great plot line, but why are some characters so STUPID??
Review: This book really kept me reading. However, it left a lot of questions unanswered: Why were the Children of the Light sent to Toman Head? Why was the Black Wind in the ways seeming to follow them from portal to portal? Where was Moiraine for the whole book? etc. One can only hope that the answers to these questions will become clear in the next book. And why are some of the characters so stupid?? Why does Rand constantly tell people not to call him "my Lord"? It's stupid to keep saying it. Or to keep saying, "I will not be used."? He begins to sound like a broken record. Why doesn't he listen to Loial?? Why wasn't he at all suspicious about "Selene"??? HEL-LO!! And why does Mat keep cutting Rand down? Why doesn't he just shut up? Only Perrin seems to have accepted his role in the saga. He's the only one who is not constantly raging inwardly with a misdirected anger (Nynaeve), or withholding necessary information from everyone "for their own good" (Moiraine). Whatever its flaws, though, I enjoyed the book. I loved to hate the Seanchan - I got SO mad about the "Leashed ones"! Happy reading.

Summary: great hunt proves to match its prequel and more
Review: This book has a lot of really neat original ideas, i really like jordans stlyle, but sometimes it gives too much of an overview of the first book, and there are a lot of references to the arthurian legends. Lots of names just changed a little bit. overall though, ive always been enthused by this book and i reccomend it to anyboldy. awesome

Summary: The Great Hunt truly is The Eye Of The World's successor
Review: Like it says in the title, The Great Hunt picked up where The Eye Of The World left off and it adds more characters and more emotion. Just thinking of the characters in the book puts more of an emphasis that maybe all Children Of The Light are bad, the Darkfriends are closer to Rand than you thought, how horrible the Seanchan acted to the channeling women, and truly who Padan Fain is and what his reasons are. Overall this book shouldn't be read before you start The Great Hunt, it's like missing out on one episode of X-Files. Please remember that you should have a lot of time on your hands (even though I finished in 21 1/2 hours). You will probably enjoy this book as well as I did,
