Agreed. Don't rack on such oracles. They can obviously form an educated opinion about something by merely viewing a small part of the spectrum.

Us lesser mortals why try to limit our negative opinions to books we've actually read should be grateful of our betters.


Dude, I'm not going to ask you again. Please stop "confirming your existance" on my lawn, okay? I'm sick of having to go out there and clean up after you.


Time was never on my side.
So on I wait my whole lifetime.

Dislike it all you want, doens't make it a bad series just because a small minority thinks so.

It makes it a bad series because the smarter minority says so. Except for Geeorn. I don't know what the hell he's doing here.

Saying someone needs to read an entire series to pass fair judgement on it is retarded.

It's like saying you need to have seen every single Star Trek episode to have an opinion on it.

Five sake bombers helps me sleep at night. But only on Fridays.

The fact of the matter is: Wheel of Time is like Lord of the Rings, except unoriginal, uninspired, and even more poorly written.

I mean, seriously...a bunch of would-be heroes...fleeing from a dark power...that's sending hundreds of orcs Trollocs after them...led by black horsemen?

Coooooome oooooon.

Yeah, the first book is taken heavily from LotR, I'll give you that, but after that, the story really starts evolving beyond the classic 'LotR' formula that nearly every fantasy writer makes use of at some point (thought in later books it gets bogged down when Jordan gets too ambitious with the number of different sub-plots he can juggle). Seriously, to get a good opinion of the series and not an individual book, you have to read up to number 5.

I don't have that much time to waste.

It's the author's job to draw someone into the story so that they want to read book 5. It's not mine to wade through five books of shit to get to the good stuff.

This seems to escape you people.

I had no problem with book 1, Parce, so he has done his job for me and millions more who bought the books and enjoyed them. I was merely saying that since you did have a problem getting into it, if you could make your was to book 5, you might turn your opinion around. But of course that way to hard for you to do. Lazy.

It's amazing how you can judge a SERIES by a single book. I wish I had that ability. It'd save time in places.

Not really. That wasn't even the point. But you have no right to say the entire series sucks after reading half a book.

Whee! I have a poorly backed perfectly valid opinion, and there aint jack shit you can do about it!
