Summary: Can't stop need more
Review: Oh my gosh this is like the best series I have ever read I have read every Book in this series up to date and can not wait any longer for number 9 . Be Warned when you buy this book, the first in the sereies, you will not be able to stop there. Robert Jordan spins A tale so well you actually start to see the world as its discribed almost as if you become a part of the story itself

Summary: This Was Great
Review: I love this series, it keeps me sucked in for long hours going through the different political plots of this world. The Characters are sometimes painfully described, it is worth it for the amount of depth that you get clued into.Thanks Robert for the enjoyable series.

Summary: Thoroughly Entertaining
Review: I am loving this series! It lacks the majestic tone of Tolkien, however, Jordan makes up for it by creating a fantasy world with all the depth necessary to build an epic tale. I am easily discouraged my some fantasy books because they often rip of Tolkien's ideas. Parallels to Tolkiens work appear more to honour Tolkien in their similarities, and Jordan's characters stand all on there own. The Eye of the World provides an edge-of-your seat introduction to the series, I am into book 3 and its grip has not been released. Thanks to Mr. Jordan for his hard work.

Summary: I almost hate to give this book 5 stars...
Review: I almost hate to give this book 5 stars, but it deserves it. This is an excellent book - the first book of one of the best fantasy series written to date - but before you buy it, you should think twice. This series is long. Really long. And it gets bad after a few books. Really bad. So bad that you'll wish you hadn't bothered starting the series. That bad. So go ahead and buy it - I know you're going to no matter what I say - but don't come crying to me when you've just finished the ninth book in the series, and it was so bad that you feel sick to your stomach about what a farse this series has become.

Summary: A very good introduction to an epic series.
Review: The eye of the world is, in my opinion one of the best volumes in Jordan's epic series. The opening chapters grip the reader immediately with mysterious occurances and for fans of Tolkien, I have come across no village in modern fantasy books more like the shire than this one. Read and enjoy it although I would hasten to warn that the series does not maintain such quality throughout its volumes, often becoming very slow.

Summary: Robert Jordan is a terrific author!
Review: Hi, Robert Jordan, is great! He knows, how to write a story, though, the story, does seem to trail once in a while. I have finished this book, and loved it! First I thought it would be a dragging tale. Well,The characters, Are now friends! I can't wait till I'm finished the Great HUNT! And robert Jordan needs to know about his women. They aren't very popular people, as I have seen. When the story, moves on. They always, seem to make the boys, squirm in their boots. I could see that from Nynaeve,her being the wisdom and all. In other reviews, people say the women are annoying, boring. Well we need them. But Jordan could give them better attitudes. They all seem to act the same. And Rand the big baby! Iam glad he gets better! And Loial, he may not seem, like he needs to be in the WoT, or The great hunt, but he does, he is like their, information,, board! ALright, All I have to say is this book, is a must read, dispite, the long series. But people, must read the rest once they have read this one, LIFE goes on! So i recomend this book to any fantasy fan, or science fiction, fan. It is just Great!

Summary: Finally, another series I can read!
Review: Personally, I think this is one of the best series to hit the bookstands since the beginning of the Xanth trilogies. Even though the books are on the slow side, I am still able to be transported to that world. I love being able to read a story that can make you feel like you are in that world and not just reading a story about it. I am just now starting book seven and can hardly wait to get to book eight.

Summary: Better than I expected
Review: I found this a great story. It wasn't the ultimate read, as it seemed to be from all the hype and religion surrounding the series, but I have to say I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Why I bought it in the first place then? Why, to see what all the hype and religion was about ofcourse :-) Still, Tolkien is better IMO, he *made* a whole new world - LOTR is simply unbeatable - whereas RJ steals a helluvalot from other stories, classics, mythology etc etc :-) Ok, Tolkien used a lot of folklore as well, but he didn't borrow from other writers. It was funny trying to figure out where all the deja vu's came from (King Arthur - lots, Tolkien - quite some, Chronicles Of Thomas Covenant - a little, little bit of Dune mixed in, and then some). I would have liked to give it 4'n'ahalf stars but well.. But I will buy the next one, and probably the one after that and so forth.. I hope I can catch up! :-)

Summary: Great Book
Review: This is an excellent story with a rich plot. I gave it 3 stars, however, for 2 reasons. First being the fact that it seems to be directly copied from Tolkien's work, 'Lord of the Rings'. Secondly, although it started out good with this book, the series as a whole goes very sour and Jordan throws at us 100 different plot lines just so he can shove this series full of as many books as possible. It would have been much better had he kept it to a 3-5 book series.

Summary: Future, Past, Present
Review: This book will make you tense during battles, mutter comments under your breath, cry out in rage, and sigh in relief. This book contains a world in it pages, and to read it you are allowed a glimpse of wonders such as you can only dream of. Tolkien, while a great pioneer into Fantasy, could never give his characters the depth, the level of commitment, the sheer emotion and pride these characters possess. Blademasters clash with sorcery, and Shadow with Light. The various races each have their own history, their own legends and beliefs, their hopes. The characters are drawn by destiny while they struggle against it. The Pattern is woven by the Wheel of Time, and no one is outside the Age Lace. Unless they're Ta'veren, and twist destiny around them. Rand al'Thor, son of a retired Second Lieutenant in the Illianer army, born on Dragonmount, raised in the Two Rivers as a hard-working, stubborn young man. Will his strength of will be enough to reseal the Bore in Shaitan's prison?
