Negative Positive
Title: Wheel of Time or Wheel of Fortune?
Review: The first 5 books in this series were "must-reads" for any fan of literature, fantasy/science fiction or otherwise. I rate them slightly below The Hobbit/LOR, equal to The Foundation series and perhaps a bit better than the Shannara books.Six and seven were a drop off, but still highly enjoyable. There was still a reasonable standard of quality.Books eight, nine and ten are simply terrible. If not for the fame the first seven books garnered for this author, I am not sure they would have been published. This is a Frank Herbert "Cousin of the Hairdresser of Dune" type plunge motivated almost entirely by money. Why finish the series if the books are still selling?If not for copyright issues, the author probably would introduce "Conan the Barbarian" as the Lord Dragon's long lost cousin just to keep the series going. If I wanted to read soap operas, I would go to the romance novel section.
Is the review positive or negative?
