Summary: Beginning of the greatest Series ever written.
Review: If you have never heard of the Wheel of time, or have, and never looked at it, you are missing out. This is the first of A large series of books that Is absolutly the most amazing series ever. The book becomes very interesting within the first few chapters, and it stays interesting for the enitre series. I just finished the 8th book and think back to everything I know... The Eye of the World is "A Beginning" to the greatest Fantasy series in the world.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: JORDAN IS THE MASTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: When i first saw this book i would've never thought i would be sucked into the world that Robert Jordan created. With all the detail he gives i feel like a part of the ongoing adventure myself. I would recommend this book to anyone with imagination!!!!!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Recommended
Review: I enjoyed the story line and the originality more then I enjoyed the telling of this story. Parts of it are little flat, almost mechanical at times. This is surprising because it is easy to see where a little more enthusiasm in the telling would have lead to an excellent book overall.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing!!!!!!
Review: When I first read the Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien I thought that nothing would come close to its excellence. However, this first book in an eight book series completely blew me away and it definitely equals Tolkien's work. Once you read this book the other seven seem to fly by. Jordan is a master!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Robert Jordan shines as the foremost author of fantasy today
Review: Robert Jordan has captured the true genre of fantasy and not only created a world full of detailed history, races, and societies, but given us diverse and interesting characters which grow with each book of the series. He's given us a world where women wield as much power as men, free-will wrestles with the laws of fate, and every step brings a new and unexpected twist. This is a must read for all lovers of the world of fantasy.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hey, if it's good, who the hell cares where it came from.
Review: Alot of the one star reviews have said that Jordan is ripping off Tolkien, or that this kind of plot has been tried before or any of the other thousands of types of dribble unintelligent people use to back up their reasons for not liking it. A good idea is still a good idea no matter how many times it's used. The reality is that Jordan has set up an excellent world and has amazingly managed to maintain the integrity of that world despite the ammount of opportunities that have threatened the entire stability of the novel. Once again. If it's good. Who cares where it comes from.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An exciting saga that you won't want to put down!
Review: When I saw this book in the bookstore, I thought: "Oh, I'll never be able to finish that!" But my friends had strongly recomended it, so I bought it anyway. After the prolougue, I couldn't put it down! I could not! This book contains magic, love, adventure, and horror in a great book that you will want to read over and over. I suggest this book to anyone who wants to read a really good book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Captivating but...
Review: I loved it, it felt like I truly was in another world, escaping evil etc. BUT... Jordon's books are more like a dream world than a reality. His characters are so one sided and fake. If girls acted like Egwene and Nynaeve the human race would have perished long ago, its so frustrating that Jordan can weave such an enchanting tale but not understand people enough to create decent characters. The book loses the whole theme of human relationships and interactions, its sad. While I'm rambling, what the hell is Jordan doing with Moraine, she's an intelligent character so why can't she tell Rand what she knows??? Jordan really needs to rethink his methods of creating suspense. Hard to believe I liked the book despite all of my gripes but... I did ...and I'm now on the thir d book of the series.

One last thing: If you want something deeper than jordan with just as much plot (kind of a darker flavor) try Consider Phlebas by Iain M Banks.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Maybe the best book ever written
Review: This book is great

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absording and wonderfully written!!
Review: Robert Jordan has created a world of fantasy that is better than any I have read. The length just improves the quality. I highly recommend the Wheel of Time series to everyone! Read this book. You won't put it down.
