Summary: Great Hunt is Great Adventure
Review: Finishing Robert Jordan's second book in his Wheel of Time saga will only leave you almost immediately wanting more.The first lengthy book seemed a mere prequel, setting up the story of Rand Al Thor and his friends Perrin and Matt. More engrossing than the first, it will demand your attention as Jordan presents new sparring political factions who all have their own agendas surrounding The Dragon Reborn. If you haven't read the first book, you have to to have an understanding of what's going on. I would also suggest buying "The World of Robert Jordan" which serves as a great companion piece to the series.

Summary: absolutely excellent
Review: one thing i've always had against fantasy stories, including this series is that they never seem to give the enemies more than a two dimensional characterization. this one attempts it rather well with the forsaken and some of the darkfriends, but trollocs are just fodder for rand's lightning strikes.
but my own pet pieves aside, this story is rich and complex. this world that robert jordan has created is imaginative and innovative. it may seem like he is using some stereotypes from our own cultures throughout our world, but he's mixed it up well enough to be considered his own creation. the story will engross you, as it should and you will be caught up in the characters' drive for survival. enjoy it, and all nine books so far.

Summary: Read this book!
Review: I read Jordan's first book and I didn't really get into it until the very end. I was a little reluctant to pick up The Great Hunt, but I was pursuaded. I couldn't put it down. Jordan's writings are very complex and it took all of the first book for me to understand the world he creates. Now I have to go back and re-read the first book. I can't wait to read The Dragon Reborn. You must read this book! Jordan creates such a realistic world and assortment of charcters. I look foward to reading the rest of the series.

Summary: Great Continuation of the Series
Review: Taking up where _The Eye of the World_ left off, _The Great Hunt_ begins to show us a little more of Jordan's complex world. Jordan is deft at weaving numerous story threads together, bringing them all to the end of the book with a moving flourish. I was more taken than I expected to be with the magical system of the Aes Sedai. Many fantasy realms boast mages and schools of mages, but Jordan's is one of the few that is clearly defined and makes sense on both intuitive and logical levels. I was also impressed with the clear sense of place, both social and physical. The rules are so well-defined that when someone breaks them it really means something. Jordan's world is one of the most complex and unpredictable I have come across. I usually have no patience with dualistic Good vs. Evil systems, but Jordan's really pushes the boundaries, with good people doing bad things and vice versa. Despite the ostensibly Dark/Light division, you are never quite sure who to trust or why. I also really like the concept, which becomes more prevalent here, of the Dragon Reborn being both a saviour and a destroyer. Too often the violence that heroes do is minimized or glorified, or they miraculously manage to save the world without damaging any but the clearly deserving evil-doers. Jordan is also adept at managing many different levels of reality. Nearly as much of the action takes place in dreams as it does in the waking world, and Jordan writes some of the best dream sequences I have read. He doesn't minimize the dream action, either; from the start it is clear that what happens in dreams is just as real as what happens when the characters are awake, and sometimes more disturbing. The one difficulty I have with this book is that sometimes the introduction of new concepts and characters is confusing. When the Seanchan invaders first appeared, for example, I found myself wishing he had spent a little more time on them rather than just throwing us right into the midst of a battle. It's easier to follow the second time around, with the information from the rest of the books behind you, but the first time I kept flipping back to the glossary hoping for clarification that I never really found. All in all, though, a good follow up and a remarkably good series.

Summary: It keeps getting better!
Review: I am in the middle of this book right now. I read the Eye of the World all the way through and I found it kind of slow in the beginging but I kept going and the last half was great. The Great Hunt had none of that slowness in the beginning. I like this book series because it is imaginary and good against evil and even has some romance in it ^_^ (Nynaeve and Lan, Rand and Egwene) I LIKE Rand. Everyone's like " I find him annoying... I LIKE him. I hope the books don't get bad after the 5th book. That's a whole lot of reading. ahhhhhh....

Summary: Lot of Fun
Review: The Great Hunt is a lot of fun, even though it doesn't match the complexity of the more recent books. The plotting may be a bit formulaic, but it's still better than anything Terry Brooks has ever written. Also Recomended: The Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling, The Left Behind Series by Tim LaHayn and Jerry B. Jenkins, The Shannara Series by Terry Brooks, The Saga of Darren Shan by Darren Shan, The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien, and the Remnants Series by K.A. Applegate.

Summary: Even better than the first!
Review: The Great Hunt was very different from The Eye of the World, but oh so much better. In this book, you will be reading something exciting every second. There was not a point in this book when I said, "Man, this part is boring!" Readers beware: You'll get hooked!

Summary: The Great Hunt
Review: This is a spectacular book. Jordan has so many events going on in this novel that it always keeps you excited. Although aa lot of his ideas come from Tolkein books. For example: Tolkein as "The Dark Lord", while Jordan Has "The Dark One". But Jordan also has amazing creativity. He has the language used in the age of legends name,"The Old Tongue", And he evan has definitions for the language. Jordan will continue the series from the Wheel of time till ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Then the legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when that author that wrote book one writes it again.
