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

Rating:
Summary: well writen and a page turner.
Review: For people looking for a great book to read this series is what you're looking for. The first book (the eye of the world) was a good book. The writer is of a rare bread and keeps you wanting more,wether the next book or next event. However the books are lenghty so they are thick and alittle bulky. Overall I would strongly recomend this series if you like fantasy and stuff like that.

Rating:
Summary: Boring
Review: I dont like this book. It takes one page to write that they are taking two step forward and there is more like this. I dont know how people like it.

Summary: The Hunt it may be, but "Great" is a stretch
Review: The second installment in the wheel of time is still very good, but missing alot of the shine of the first book. But I'm just a pessimist. It's still an excellent book, and in my personal opinion, still a great deal better than "The Two Towers" by Tolkein. This book may not be that great of a book, but I suggest you muddle through it. The series greatly improves by the third book.

Summary: A Great Book
Review: The Great Hunt had a lot of responsibility. It was following one of the greatest fantsy epics ever. It had a lot of plot lines from the previous book to bring together. The Great Hunt did just that. It is an amazing book that fuflilled its duty and went beyond. It further develops its characters and paints such a beautiful world you can almost reach out and touch it. The length is almost nothing now. When I'm reading, the length just seems to disappear. I wish this series would never end. Its vast history almost makes Jordan's word a reality. In The Great Hunt. we find Rand al'Thor facing dramatic changes in his life and how it affects his two friends. As I was reading other comments, I realized a lot of comparison to Tolkien. Jordan stands alone in his own genre of fantasy. There are undeniably similiarities but the simple truth is Jordan has changed it into his own style and that's what makes it special. Luckily, I started the series late and I don't have to wait for the next books to come out. THIS IS A SPECTACULAR SERIES!

Summary: Powerfull, entertaining, exciting & definately cliffhanging.
Review: The Eye of the World was my favoriate book. Now after reading the second book, I conclude that this is my favoriate series. The Great Hunt made me think if I was part of this pattern. Indeed Robert Jordan is the greatest writer.

Rating:
Summary: A good sequel. 4 1/2 Stars
Review: After finishing "Eye of the World", I had to go on to the next book. I figured Robert Jordan couldn't top his first book and he didn't. It was a great book though, just not "Eye of the World". He did bring the characters further along to their destiny (which stops around book 5) and he did bring in the new Seanchan people who were very interesting. Also you get your first glimpse of Fremen.. er.. I mean Aiel which are very interesting (though I swear they remind me of Fremen). We still get all the fights and squabbles between the men and the women (at this point it's still funny). It has a fairly climatic ending (though it was rather predictable). I say read this book and keep reading through the series, you'll most likely enjoy it.

Rating:
Summary: Book has a feeling of tolkien.
Review: This book, far overshadows the first book in the series, by the mere fact that its beggining and end is not nearly as rushed and excited as the in the first. The whole book although, different from tolkien has that same warm feeling about it. Brilliant.
