In many topics I find comments like: Jordan's WOT was good up to the 5th volume or so.
I have read the WOT partially (have to start volume 6 somewhen), but I could never distinguish one part from another - it's not only with WOT, this happens to me with every series: I read it, enjoy it, but afterwards everything I remember is a - depending on the quality of the books - more or less detailed picture of the world. I cannot tell in which volume something happend...
how come all of you seem to remember every last scrap of every book read?

Liselle, I sometimes forget also. Especially if its a long series, I can never remember which book that thing was in.

If you read a series quite a few times, you will remember were certain parts are easily.

You're certainly not alone in that, Liselle, it happens to me a whole lot too! http://www.sffworld.com/ubb/smile.gif

well, its not a seamless story. The pace becomes very different in book 4, and changes again in book 6, 7, and 8.

You're lucky. I can barely remember name and author let alone which volume a bit is in.

It's easy to remember Jordan's books!
They all go that way:
(1) The heroes begin the story in a fortress, camp, or village.
(2) They go throught many adventures, with so many words that...
(3)...after 600 or so pages, the writer must rush the plot, so all the stories close at the same time Rand slays another Forsaken!

But, now, generaly speaking, I usually remember where one book ends and another starts. Myabe I am strange! http://www.sffworld.com/ubb/smile.gif
