Title: are we being made fools of?
Review: jordans previous books were saved from his terrible, tedious writing style by some great action set pieces,some interesting leaps of imagination and, with rand, a compelling manichaean conflict but in the latest instalment there are no redeeming features. jordan appears to have no literary merit, his writing is graceless and his characterisation hackneyed and weak. the women are caricatures and so are the men, an assembly of cliches who mouth platitude after platitude. does every layer of clothing need to be described in such ridiculous detail, does every thought need to be forced upon us so, does he have an editor. jordan appears to think that every little thing needs to be spelt out to us again and again to the extent that one feels he thinks we lack sufficient intelligence to understand the most simplistic of notions and ideas. by continuing to buy this mind numbingly boring drivel he has spawned of late we may just be proving him right.
