Negative Positive
Title: Zzzzzzzzzzzz
Review: After wading through the first nine books in this series, I'm wondering why I bothered to read the tenth. I thought for certain that this would end the series but to my dismay, I find that Rand, et al were still firmly emeshed in what now seems to be an endless soap opera. I've read about all I can stand about the "ageless" Aes Sedi, what all the women are wearing, Rand's apparently incurable pain and suffering, and an entire host of other repetitive and boring self-serving details which I could do without. Despite my aversion to leaving a tale unfinished, I don't think I'll be reading Jordan's 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, etc., etc., etc. offerings. Too I take fervent exception to the New York Times' claim that, "Robert Jordan has come to dominate the world Tolkien began to reveal." Nonsense. Mr. Jordan's epic cannot even begin to measure up to the genius of Tolkien's work, except perhaps in the respect of how much room it takes up on the bookshelf.
Is the review positive or negative?
