Negative Positive
Title: OH PLEASE
Review: The first was good, but this was a very, very, very bad book. Yes there is such a thing as TOO MUCH detail. I mean, how can an author write such a great first novel and then screw up so completely in the second installment? I won't even bother to summarize this 700 page bore, but I will tell you one thing about the plot of this book. The legendary Horn of Valare was stolen from Rand, stolen back by Rand, stolen from him again, and then recovered at the end. Talk about a space waster. That book could have been 300 pages shorter and been classified as excellent. I guess he was trying to make this book as immpresively long as his first, but the result was TRASH. If you liked the first one, don't dicourage yourself, get a discription from a poor friend who had to suffer trough this book. Jordan does try to emulate Tolkien, but with this book didn't even come close. A Very Disappointed Reader
