So has anyone else read the "Wheel of Time" book?

***Tessar*** · 01-13-2002, 08:58 AM

(yes TaTeR I saw the "dune wheel of time connection post" but thats not what I'm looking for)

well other than Fireworks,

has anyone read them?

I am working on the first book right now.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! creepy!

By the time you get through all of the present books you'll wonder if there ever will be a conclusion. It may take 20 more books to tie in all the loose ends.

orald · 01-13-2002, 11:53 AM

I've read four of Robert Jordan's books of the WOT series,and couldn't take his writing style anymore.Maybe you'll like them.

FrodoFriend · 01-13-2002, 06:28 PM

*sighs painfully* I've read all nine. Don't quite know what to say about them . . . except that the first one was really good. The others, well, you'll see for yourself.

mirrille · 01-14-2002, 03:25 AM

Well, they're good. But if he could start wrapping up the story starting from now, it would be just about right. Things are getting a little too convoluted. I don't know if I can take anymore if at least some of the threads don't resolve, but I do want to finish it. I've read too much to stop (i.e. up to, but not including Winter's Heart).

yes i've read all nine also (only 9, it seemed like more!). the first one really drew me in, & i thought wow here's a big new fantasy world i can get lost in and enjoy. unfortunately, the operative word was 'lost' . . .

it almost seems as if jordan is like a modern day charles dickens - getting paid by the word!

***Tessar*** · 01-15-2002, 03:37 PM

yes I'm in to the secont book now and it does seem to be starting to "lose something".

still......I would love to ba a channeler (a guy one of corse. duh)

And now I want to get the RPG for it even more

but my mom wont tell me when I can buy it.

I don't know what her problem with RPGs are..... I guess she doesn't like the D&D stuff so now she hates all RPGs.

still there is a mud of the wheel of time...... if anyoe wants it I can post a link to it up........ or PM it.

orald · 01-15-2002, 06:21 PM

The thing that seemed to bother me the most,was,he moved everything at a snails pace,until the end,then everything happened at once.The following book would be the same way,and yes mirrille,I agree, lots of strands.

fireworks19 · 01-15-2002, 07:13 PM

Hmph. I like it. I do see what you guys are saying though...it is slow.

Butterburr · 01-15-2002, 07:56 PM

I just wish Jordan would get it over with.

The first two or three books were really good. From then on, things went downhill. I've read all except the latest purely to keep up with the characters.

***anduin*** · 01-15-2002, 08:34 PM

I will leave this thread open since no one caught it before now, but please look for existing theads.....there is already a WoT thread on page 2 with over 4 pages of posts.

***Tessar*** · 01-16-2002, 10:48 PM

(mutters something about interfering aies anduins)

lol

I'm just kidding Anduin. I'm sorry I din't think to look for the other thread, didn't know there was one.

fireworks19 · 01-17-2002, 10:15 PM

Ahem. Tess? Your sig....gost? ghost, I think you mean. Contructive critism....

ANYWAY. I have been reading them pretty much for the sake of finding out which of the girls gets pregnant first....heh heh heh.

***Tessar*** · 01-19-2002, 01:16 PM

its misspelled? dang.

what do you mean by

I have been reading them pretty much for the sake of finding out which of the girls gets pregnant first....heh heh heh. ?

oh my gosh if there is porn or anything in there and my mom fineds out she will KILL ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I need to know now, is there anything like that in there?!!

if there is then I will stop reading it now.

orald · 01-19-2002, 03:19 PM

Not to change the thread,but has anyone read "The Sword of Shannara"?It's a Tolkien knock-off as well,but better than W.O.T.It also has additional books,Elfstones,and Wishong,but there not nearly as good as SWord.

***Tessar*** · 01-19-2002, 05:44 PM

hey! start you're own thred about that book!

I'm kidding, but really this is not the thred to come to and say that wheel of time isn't good.

fireworks19 · 01-20-2002, 06:03 PM

Oh Tess....its not graphic, promise. You understand when you get to about....#5. I think.

***Tessar*** · 01-20-2002, 06:48 PM

thank gosh.

I was starting to get worred there for a sec.

that and I'm addicted....... and dragging mirrel stormrider down with me

FrodoFriend · 01-20-2002, 09:03 PM

Nah, there's no porn. But it's not fair!!! First Robert Jordan gets you all interested in the story and the characters, then he starts degrading everything, and then he puts off the Last Battle for 10 books!!!! I swear that's the only reason I still read them -- the ending HAS to be good. It just has to!!

fireworks19 · 01-21-2002, 05:35 PM

Wishful thinking on our part, I fear, FrodoFriend.
