Title: Good for its time, a good laugh now
Review: Reviewing a classic, it's good to remember how relevant the book was for its time. What seems a cliche now, could very well be a new/uncommon idea back in the days (1990, I believe?). With this in mind, Eye of the World undoubtedly is a good introductory book with some merit for younger readers.Reading it in 2008, however, will reward a more mature reader no more than a smile. Every character is overexaggerated and the dialogue will either make you vomit or tip over with laughter (thankfully, the second for me). The overall level of writing is below average. Even the contemporary "gems" like The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss will stand tall in comparison to Jordan's use of language.If you are a new reader looking for an idea of what to expect in this book/series, let me warn you - don't even start. As many had mentioned previously, the series collapse past book 4-5. Save your time and money, pick up GRRM instead.
