Summary: 'Misleading' Nothing!
Review: This is only the The Eye of the World divided into two parts so children will have more of a desire to read it. Some kids would refuse to read 800 page books (some adults do too), so divinding it into two volumes with an added Prologue for the tinny-bops and extended glossary will sell more copies. There is not anything wrong with that and if you collect Wheel of Time books, you can add these to your collection.

Summary: Continuing a grand tradition
Review: Yes, yes, I know that this is merely the second part of a book that was written more than a decade ago, but that book, "The Eye of the World", is one of the greatest works of fantasy in history, and the series which follows it isn't too shabby either. The one purpose this book, and it's counterpart, "From the Two Rivers," serves is to get people that are intimidated by the size of The Eye of the World to work up their courage and try it.Although the storyline is reminiscient of a few hobbits we all know, the genre that the Lord of the Rings started was turned on its head witht the soryline written here. Through narrow escape after narrow escape, Rand, Mat, Perrin, and Egwene come of age in this trial by ordeal. Incredibly rich detail drips off of each page, and the climax is worthy of standig alone against any other fantasy epic. ALthough I can't give 5 stars to a remake of another book, I heartliy endorse the book and the series. However, can someone explain to me why Egwene, in the middle of a pitched battle with twisted trees and fierce Blightcreatures, appears to be cutting off her hair, on the cover?
