(Nov 16, 2009)I found this series a great rip-off of much greater and more powerfull stories. There are many factors that come from other books I have read, including the Aes Sedai being massive rip-offs of the Bene Gesserit from Dune. The Idear of Trollocs does not even have an original name, and the basic idea is that they are the Trolls from LOTR. The list goes on and on. Even the characters aren't original! Rand Al'Thor is effectively a form of Arthur Paendragon. Thats right, King Arthur! The dagger is the closest resembelance to The One Ring I have ever heard of! I would go on, but you probbly wouldn't want to hear it. Steer Clear of these books! I say that this series is the sort of rehashed plot for people who don't have a clue about any of the orignal classics.

(Oct 22, 2009) This has got to be one of the best and a bestselling fantasy series out there. I absolutely love the wot series. I started reading the wot series when I was 17 and I am 35 now. I have reread all the books in the series because I enjoy them so much.
One of the things I like is how RJ makes the wot seem realistic in a sense. He explains how his magic sytem works which is pretty impressive.

(Oct 14, 2009)The wheel of time brings you to a new world that you may lose yourself in. It is extremely detailed and realistic. Great plots and twists keep you guessing. I have read the prequil once and the normal series twice. I started when I was in seventh grade and loved them all. The Very Best Books I have ever read.

(Aug 14, 2009)For me the Wheel of Time is the greatest fantasy book I have ever read (even better than Tolkien). This is largely due to the factor which many have listed as a vice of the story - that the story 'drags out'. The plotline is rather cliche, however the subplots are sublime. The characters are easy to relate to, funny and charming. Rj's world is more of an escape than any other fantasy world I have come across as of yet. The omnipresence of the philosophy of the 'wheel', I find extremely pleasing and the way in which the world and magic is described makes you feel that such a place may just exist. I was disappointed to hear about the final book in the series being cut into three and even more so to hear that the title - A Memory of Hope - would be scrapped, but I still have faith in the new author because a saga so epic could never finish on a whimper.

(Mar 09, 2009)Well I have just gotten finished with the third book in this series and I have to say I am not impressed. The thought of turning another page seems insulting at this point. I was hoping that Rand's search for callandor would prove worth the read, but it's just a bunch of fluff with most of the conflict occuring in this dream world which Egwene seems so intent on mastering. Every battle ends in a state of confusion and there is little if any resolution about when and if Rand and the dark one will ever have a battle that does not suck. Needless to say, I am done with this series!
