Summary: A complex but nonetheless great book
Review: I agree the book was awesome and with all the characters intercatly drawn in. With unique ideas and a well written plot. The story is not surrounded by the main character in book number three but that is okay considering you have 6 other books which probably revolve around him. The only bad thing about the book is some of the errors and mistakes- grammer and such. Otherwise i agree its a great series. Who can blame a little faults for all that hardwork Jordan has put in?

Summary: I enjoyed the book
Review: Well I finished book 3 the Dragon Reborn and all I can say is what a great book it was. I know some people didn't like it because Rand was not the main focus in the book.( to those people I say SO WHAT) I don't know about you but I enjoyed learning more about Egwene,Elayne,Nynaeve,Mat and Perrin. I mean from what I heared and saw Robert Jordan has 8 books out and I admit I've only read 3 so far of this series but I would think he could spare one maybe two books on the secondary characters so we could learn alittle more about them,they are just as important as Rand. I want to finish by saying I recommened this book and series(but I recommend you start with the first book The Eye of the World). If any one wants to e-mail me write to me at (pperalta@feaster.edisonproject.com). I all so enjoy reading the Dragonlance and Forgotten Realms books.

Summary: It Just Keeps Getting Better And Better!
Review: First off, I just want to say that I am very happy about all the great reviews this book is getting. One of the only things that most of the critics seem to be complaining about is the lack of writing about the main character. I can see their point in some ways considering that the book is called the Dragon Reborn. But, all in all I think that Jordan executed this book very nicely. He gave you a chance to meet the other characters and see their view of it all. Not that I don't enjoy reading about Rand, its just that I like to hear about the girls, Mat, and Perrin too. So, in conclusion, I just want to tell you to buy the book (it really is good if you couldn't tell that from al of my babbling) and in that case, buy the series. I hope that all of your adventures with the kids from the Two Rivers can be as exciting as mine.

Summary: Another great
Review: This book has gotten some bad reviews for no reasons, the central figure was not Rand entirely but we neede to get to no the others better anyway. All in all this is avery good book that has its rightful spot in Jordan's work. We get to know Perrin and Mat better and have some interesting knew plots develope. If you have read the first two you have to read this one!

Summary: getting better
Review: I started this book predisposed to not like it based on the reviews I read. I found this to be totally unfounded. Yes, Rand is not the central figure in most of the book (insofar as its plotting)but after I got into the first few pages of each characters individual storyline, I found I enjoyed their stories as much as Rand's if not more so in many areas. The characters all have strong and distinct personalities that lend a great foundation to the main storyline, and Jordan does a wonderful job blending all the different parts, people and places into a seamless whole. Great story. People, lighten up, in a series this big there is room enough for everyone to play a part.

Summary: Pretty Good
Review: I just finished this book a day ago and I'm pretty pleased with it. Although Randwas not very prominant in it..I really did not mind it. For one it wouls have gotten kind of confusing following Rand to Tear the state he was in..it would have been a bit too complicated..he was living in dreams half the time. I think the glimes we got throughout the book were enough for us to ge twhat Rand was going through....more would have been a bit too much to handle. Poor guy.Anyway. Another reason I did not mind was because finally...FINALLY..I got to meet Mat offically and I loved him! Whe nhe woke up out of that dagger induced slumber...I rejoiced. He adds much needed lightness to the book. But he is pretty complex also. I got more Perrin. Who I loved since the first book..and I hope to see more of him and his struggle with the wolves. I also liked his "Falcon"...she also added some lightness... The twist at the end was kind of surprising..and made sense...IMO. It leaves things open for the rest of the books..and leaves room for more movement (I'm kind of interested in writing....:-) ). Finally the women are becoming more distinct and most importantly..Aielman. Ican't wait to read the next book..I hear they are prominant. Overall..it was great and like usual..the endeding leaves you wanting more. The only reason it did not get 5 stars was becasue..it got very slow somewhere near the beginning...and some ofthe women irritated.me..:-). Great stuff.

Summary: One of the best
Review: The Dragon Reborn was a great read! It was one of the best books so far, but I think the Great Hunt was maybe a bit better. Rand al'Thor is heading towards Tear and is destined to wiel the magical sword callandor. meanwhile Egwene, Nynaeve and Elayne hunt the black ajah. The book is very interesting and exciting. Rand is not in the book much, but other than that it's a great read for anyone!

Summary: Good?
Review: Alright, I've read the first, second and third. First was best, YES. Alright this one was....Reallly good, exspalined alot. But then it was bad, I mean, RAND was just here and there till the last two chapters. He was a blur in a dream a few times, But I was glad this was based more on Mat's adventrue, and Perrin's. The girls too. (In my opion, I don't like Rand) Well anyhow. This is a must read, and once you get this series you HAVE to finish it. I mean, sometimes there is boring parts. You past them and the interesting parts become SOOOOO GOOOD! I don't like the fighting, It's very hard to understand, Jordan doesn't exspalin the kiss of the humming bird, ect. He just says' them. But it does leave it up To YOUR imagination, so I guess that is good. Alright, chacaters were the most interesting part, learning more about them every book! I just love them so much now! The women have changed dramticaly! What happened? Their a little more tough, (not that they weren't before WHOO!) and even a little more sweet...So I would recommend this to anyone. It's just a good book to this series.

Summary: It's getting better and better!
Review: The Wheel of Time turns and brings Volume 3 of the saga, The Dragon Reborn (TDR). Oddly, though named after him, Rand al'Thor hardly figures in the book; after striking out on his own near the beginning, he reappears only towards the end in the climactic battle in the heart of the Stone of Tear. That climax is actually perhaps the best part of the book. But there are a number of other good features. The characters of Perrin and Mat are further developed in TDR and each begins to assume the traits that will, one presumes, shape their futures as well. Perrin with the wolves and his wolf-senses, Mat with his gambler's luck and battle sense. The White Tower is shaken as the Black Ajah emerges from hiding and none knows who can be trusted. Most significant of all TDR gives us out first real glimpse of the Aiel and we slowly start to learn about this fascinating people, so evidently derived from Frank Herbert's Fremen of Arrakis. A super successor to the first two books and a fascinating read. But read the series in order; it will not make much sense to you otherwise. There are flaws too no doubt. After all the build-up to the Horn of Valere in the previous book, it vanishes into safe keeping and plays no real part in TDR. But I suppose, when you have a canvas as wide as Jordan has pained for the saga, it is impossible to keep all threads in play together. A great book. But still only 4 stars for my now patented complains about the pathetic cartography and the wretched excuse for a glossary of characters and concepts.

Summary: Interesting, but unfolds at a snail's pace
Review: Although I enjoyed the first book of this series quite a lot, I found my enjoyment decreased with the second book, and even more for this book. It was at the end of this book that I realized that Jordan's glacial pacing would continue to slow, and the series would stretch out indefinitely. He is a very good writer, and has some lovely ideas, but I am not in search of a series which will take 25 years and 40,000 pages to resolve.
