Title: Good as a book, becoming wearisome as a series
Review: First off, let me get one thing clear.Jordan is not JRR Tolkien and Tolkien is not Jordan. Comparing their respective works tends to obfuscate their relative worth.The series as a whole seems like it would have made a great trilogy or possibly quartet. The early books have strong plots, clear themes, usually pleasnt (though occasionally irritating) characterizations.However, he soon becomes enamoured of his own creation, and like frankenstein's monster or a golem of old, it takes on a life of its own and refuses to die a natural death. Book after wearying book must be read and still there is no end in sight.My recommendation? Read the first book. Stop there and wait until the series is finished.cheers,Trevor
