Summary: Best series I ever read. 'Nuff said.
Review: Where do I begin? Robert Jordan spins a tale that will keep you reading. You can not put this book down without an extraordinary amount of willpower. The intricacies in this book will want make you want to reread this book. You can reread this several times and still pick up things you missed in the last reading. The novel is incredibly gripping. Jordan gives attention to detail like few others. This can make some authors seem wordy, but Jordan manages to pull it off quite well. It may seem like a task to read because of its length, but its action never lags. If you don't buy this book, you don't like fantasy. If you don't like fantasy, buy this book.

Review: I was pointed to this book in a book store by a stranger and havent regretted it. I read more now than I watch T.V. I have read the first three of the series in two months. I really think that this is the best series I have ever seen.

Summary: This book was the best Fantasy book I've EVER read!

Summary: I loved it!
Review: This book is a masterpiece in the true meaning of the word. It makes me feel like I'm standing there watching it. With most books, when something sad happens I usually sit back and sarcasticly say the words ''How emotional''. With this book, when something sad happens I feel sad, when something good happens I feel happy. I don't watch tv much, but if someone could make a movie that was half as exciting as this book, I would watch it over at least ten times. (I say this because that's exactly what I want to do with this book)

Summary: A great book, but not as good as Tolkien
Review: The Eye of the World is a very good book in my opinion, but is not as good as the Lord of the Rings, regardless of what other reviews say. EotW does have a great many similarities to LotR. For example: Both books start out as villagers (Hobbits/ Emond's Fielders) are getting ready for a big festival (Bilbo's party/Bel Tine), when evil minions arrive to get the main character (Frodo/Rand). In LotR these were the Nazgûl, and EotW it is the trollocs and Myrdraal. The villagers are taken away on an important quest by a guide (Gandalf/Moiraine) who has, in a sense, some kind of magical abilities. Later on in both books, the company passes through a place that was once a glorious dwelling: Moria/Shadar Logoth. There are a few other similarities which I will not bother to tell. Even though EotW is fairly unoriginal, it is still a great book. There is suspence--I particularly liked Shadar Logoth and the Ways--, action, and vivid descriptions, as well as a detailed world (though not nearly as real or vast as Tolkien's) in the background.As you read on, the characters become more developed and real. Mat is my favorite; he reminds me of a mischiefous friend I have. I thought it sucked when I found out that Rand could channel and was doomed to go mad. I reccommend the Eye of the World to anyone who likes fantasy novels.

Summary: This is some of the BEST fantasy ever written
Review: I must say I picked up the Wheel of Time on a whim and am I thankful I got that whim! I couldn't put it down, and believe me, I tried, because I had exams in two weeks! But it was just too good to put down and now I have all seven books in the series so far. Oddly, they always seem to reach the stores around my exam times. Anyway, this is a fantastic read. Jordan has woven a complex and intricate world with strong characters and multiple storylines all joined together in an engaging and gripping style. Only thng negative I can say is that the wait for the next book to arrive is a killer!

Summary: Great fun while on an airplane
Review: Jordan spins an entertaining yarn. I like fantasy/sci-fi anyway. There was one thing about this book that bothered me: in the beginning of the book, the young hero's horse, Bela, is lost, presumably eaten by gobliny kinds of things, but turns up in the stables of the local inn without any explanation. I looked and looked; is this an editing goof, or did I completely miss something?

Summary: Excellent book
Review: I thought this book was excellent. A rich, complex storyline, combined with a lovable and plausible cast of characters makes this an A+ selection. Jordan has created a world so real that I often find myself thinking that it actually exists. A true triumph!

Summary: This book is the most outstanding peice of work I have read
Review: When my friends first encouraged me to read Jordan's work, I was skeptical. I never really put much effort into reading. The Eye of the World turned me around. Now I spend most of my time enjoying one of Jordan's great tales. whether it is a descriptive chapter or a great battle you half to marvel at his work.
