Haha, I actually liked the later ones more XDDD lol.
And I'm waiting oh sooooo patiently for the 11th book!! *strangles stuffy* gaaaah, haha.
I found them very good books^__^ although some people don't like them. I think that they were very well written^^*

Robort Jordan isn't done the series? oh well he will be before I get done (like I said I'm still on the great hunt) I think they are very well written! One of the critics though said that by book four the method he uses of characthers never telling anybody else anythign tends to get old.

heh, he's written 11 books, one of which is a kind of prologue. I'm waiting for book 11 of the wheel of time to come out >.<

After the sixth or seventh book, I couldn't hold all the characters together in my mind, and had to check repeatedly. It took all the fun out of them. They are excellent tinder for the imagination.

wow, it gets that complicated later on? I don't think I could name all the charactars in the book I"m reading right now.. (the great hunt)

It doesn't really get that complicated, I don't think. I at least found it more interesting near the end XD teehee. But don't worry, I can never name the characters just like that, and often I can't even pronounce their names, hehe. *hides*

*muses* I've read up to book...seven, I think, about three times. after that I lose interest. I love love LOVE all the books up to about five, they're jam-packed with stuff (especially the first two) but after that I just get this awful feeling that it drags ON and ON and he can spend like a whole chapter talking about Rand's clothes.
XD but that's just me. although it's saying something, because I've been known to love some big fat books that other people find boring.
I think about the series sometimes, though, wondering what happens in the next books, wondering what'll happen in the end...*muses*

I like the series but as everybody will most likely agree, they start moving like molasses in December in the later books.

It's been a while seince I've had the time to pick up one of the books to re-read it, so I've forgoten a lot of the finer details in the plot.
But length and the tendency to drag aside, they're realy good books.
I also hear that Dabel-brothers comics are making a comic version of New Spring.

i loved his books, but it just is taking so long! i read up to book 7 also but because the library had to call in the books from other libraries, i had school, i just became disinterested. also, if you get really into the series, and the author doesn't finish it, its becomes a little annoying because you want to know what happens! like isobelle camodys several series, and janny wurts, and lots of others..
when he finally finishes the series, i'll bother reading them all

Most definitely. I read these novels from my public library, so they were in the order 1 - 2 - 4 - 7 - 3 - 8 - 5 - 11 (prologue)... O_o I should just go out and buy them, but they are free at the library...
I was blown away by the first two novels and I thought they were the best thing since fried cheese sandwiches. The plot began to loose focus in book seven, and later books seemed to be more 'skim and read' rather than actually hunkering down and sponge-absorbing.
The number of characters multiplies much too rapidly and there are too many plot strings for my simple little mind to handle. Somewhere between reading these novels, I happened to start Lord of the Rings. Uncanny similarities in both novels?

The first two in that series was very good, I didn't much care for the 3rd and 4th and 5th, the sixed was back to being good, and the ones after that kinda droned on...I've since given up on the series because of the prequells and such...I might pick them back up someday, but I'll not buy anymore. ( I usualy like to buy my books)
I'll just get them from the libary (which i donated my copies too to make room for other books) when he finaly finishes with the series.

Hehe, thats exactly how my reasoning works
Heh, I was planning on starting to read the series, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. What kind of plot is it? Ie, what kind of time thing is it set in, etc?
