Title: Stop the Tolkien Comparisons, Please!!!!!!
Review: Robert Jordan is an author of unparralled quality, but please stop comparing him to Tolkien. His stories are not even close to J.R.R. yet every time I read a book cover, or even one of the more mundane reviews here on this page, I here yet another idiot saying how Jordan is the "new" Tolkien.Do you ever here people today comparing Barry Bonds or Ken Griffey Jr. to the likes of Babe Ruth or Mel Ott? Of course not! They have nothing in common except the fact that they are and were the best in their times; respective times that is. If published today, I have no doubt that you would never even hear of Tolkien's LORs. The same goes for Jordans books if published in the 40's.So get a grip! Enjoy the books seperately, not comparitively! And if any of you send out even one more Tolkien/Jordan comaparitive review, make sure you leave your e-mail account so that I can contact you personally and thrash your views of literature in a whole new sense of the meaning.
Is the review positive or negative?
