Yes!!

I love the series.. it's so much more 'real' than LotR in many ways (which is not necessarily a good thing, but I happen to like it). I'm working my way through the tenth right now, it isn't quite as good as the previous ones, a bit tedious, but the next one should be very intense, so it's all good.

Some may recall that I went under Sprunkit Sedai on the tag and chat a while back..

I have read only first book. They haven't translated others. I hate it!

But the book itself...I couldn't help noticing similarites between it and LotR. But I like it.

^I made that! I know, crappy eh?

I've read books 1-10, waiting for them to get the next one at the library. lol. I like them!

I've read 1 to 9 I think and have now given up on them. I enjoyed the first 5 but then they started getting slower and slower with more and more seemingly unnessessary characters. It didn't seem as if the story would ever go anywhere. Also I can't be bother rereading books 1-9 so as I can make sense of the new ones.

Hopefully someone will tell me what happens in the last book if he ever writes it

I like it, but on the other way i don't. Because when i pick up a book, i ALWAYS compare it with lotr...and lotr is the best novel so...

I read something a dragonmount.com that in the 11th book Knife of Dreams all the minor characters and plots start coming together and that the twelfth book is the last book!

I have read New Spring, and then 2-8 all the way through, I skimmed 9, and I read book 10.

I thought it was a fabulous series. I'm waiting to get a hold of Knife of Dreams because I got to read the first chapter somewhere online, and I thought it was really good.

I love the whole 'world' he created. Very ingenious.

Mat is the coolest, then Rand, then Perrin, then Lan. So incredibly cool.

I'm about a third of the way through. It is, in my opinion, much better than the couple previous ones were. Things really happen (almost frighteningly so ), or are about to at least, and it doesn't get bogged into politics too much.


Yay! Another fan of Mat!

I didn't get anything of it! I only like the fights with those,,,,,,what are they called?

Lol...I'm afraid I can't help you out, Angrod - there's a lot of 'things' in WoT.

So it is good, Sprunkit? I've been thinking it would be, but until now nobody I know has really stated what they thought of it.

Me too!
I'm still waiting for our library to get Knife of Dreams...I saw at a bookstore but I'm broke so I couldn't get it.
Those books are crazy, the way they have so much detail and so many minor characters. I think Path of Daggers (maybe, could've been one around it) only covered about three days but was as long as the rest! It's insane! But they're really good.

Well I gave up, too many underlying plots and unimportant characters (such as nobles) that he wants us to know about, and I would forget about them in the next chapter because there would be so many.
No more Jordan for me!
Too time consuming, too many other good books to read!

I've just started reading them and I love them! My friend gave me "The Eye of the World" for my birthday a couple of weeks ago and I've read that, the next two and New Spring so far. New Spring was good - I think perhaps because it was only really about Moiraine and you got to know her as a character, even though I don't think it was as well written nor did it have as much action.
I've really enjoyed them. I've found them gripping and captivating. I like the characters and the world and so on. I think it works really well how it jumps about from character to character - normally in a book I hate that.
I'm actually really impressed - I think that if I tried to write something like that my head would explode!

I'm kind of lucky - I find it easy to follow what is going on because I read fast (I read the third one in just over a day... ) so I don't forget things as much as I otherwise would. Also I have a friend who is reading them all for the fourth time and a friend who just started reading them before me, so it's nice to have people to talk to about it and so on.

I haven't really compared it to LotR - I just switch the ringer part of my brain off while I am reading... I'm about to read the fourth book.
