Rating: Summary: Can epic fantasy be any better? Review: I have read many many epic fantasy books, from The lord of the rings to Dragon lance, from The Belgriad to The Dark elf, and many more, I loved them all, but Jordan's Wheel of Time, and The Dragon Reborn specifically were the best. can this genre offer me something better?
Rating: Summary: Very Good Review: This Book has everything a good fantasy book has to offer, fighting, depth of characters, plot, change of character, and maybe a moral or three.
Rating: Summary: The best you can read. Review: I just love to read Robert Jordan's series "The Wheel of Time". It tells you about the different kinds of difficulties in the life of young men and women. The adventures they came accros are full of danger and magic, which reminds of J.R.R. Tolkin's books, but made of Jordan's own style. "The Dragon Reborn" makes you fill exited. It is a book for everybody who can read.
Rating: Summary: Storytelling as in the good old days Review: I have read 6 of these books and I think this is the best because it reads like a book in itself - has a masterful climax and he keeps the weave of his telling tight which makes it all the more un-put-down-able. I have read a few mal-comments about Jordan's writing, but this is fantasy after all, and Jordan is able to transport us because he is above all, able to convince us of the truth of his fiction
Rating: Summary: Tolkien Reborn! Review: Perhaps not as good as the first, Jordan's Dragon Reborn still shines through as one of fantasy's finest literary achievements. While the writing is superb the story is better, and takes us along on waves of adventure and intrigue that is the core of fantasy. The importance of women is refreshing and almost unique in fantasy, which is an utterly male dominated genre of writing. Though Tolkien is still the father of all fantasy, Jordan shows a promise to keep the tradition of alternate realities alive and in our hearts.
Rating: Summary: Good book Review: I wont waste space with what I thought of the book because no one's probably reading this anyway. Simply the book is good. **A MESSAGE TO TOR: GET BETTER BINDING GLUE!!**
Rating: Summary: Brilliant Again Review: After finnishing The Great Hunt, I had to wait for an astonishing year. Waaaaaaaaaaay too long, but it was well worth it. What a great book. The Forsaken are back, and how. All of them are probably free and some of them even walk among humanity. There are also more Darkfriends, which makes for exiting parts even in the cities. Anyone could be a Darkfriend, so don't trust anybody. Unfortunately, very little is written from Rand's point of view, but nevertheless I think it's a perfect book. You've got to read this one !!!!!
Rating: Summary: bad Review: PEOPLE WHO LIKE THESE BOOKS BETTER THAN TOLKIEN ARE CRAZY.IT'S SO BAD SO BAD.
Rating: Summary: Great book... Review: that continues a great series. While it would take a good part of a year, this is a must read series. The world draws you in, as do the characters. It is one of the most believable fantasies out there.
Rating: Summary: Good. Better than the GREAT HUNT Review: Not the best book in the series, but better than book 2 (which I slogged thru at times, a disappointment after book 1). Jordan pushes a lot of time, place, and characters at the begining (for brevity, perhaps? ;-) ), and it is confusing, but the end is grant--a fulfillment of prophesy, and a "point-of-no-return" feel you gotta love.
