THE DRAGON REBORN
By Robert Jordan
I was extremly pleased with this book. It was the best Fiction book i have ever read. Robert Jordan shows a completely new world, one that is never dull. This book has lots of adventure, excitment, mingled in with war-affairs and a great detailed storyline with an amazing climax.
This book is the 3rd in the weel of time series,so i suggest you read the eye of the world and the great hunt first. These books can get up to 1000+ pages , but i enjoy every second of reading.
My only concern is that these books are aimed for an older audience, and I reccomed that you are at least 10 to start reading this book and its siter books in the serise.
As a closing thought I have one thing to say : You will not be diisipointed in the utterly complex , suspenceful book THE DRAGON REBORN
Comments
Chantal,that is great! I'd try it if it weren't for the fact that I can't read 1000+page books. Nice!

I like fantasy and books that take a long time to read, so i`ll look at my local library.

A friend of mine introduced me to the Wheel of time, and I am almost finished reading the first book. Therefore, I am unable to comment on the third book. However, I have read enough to safely say that Robert Jordan's writing style unique, suspenseful and thought-provoking. It stands out from most bad fantasy books nowadays. The only complaint I have is that people are saying that his book is better than The Lord Of The Rings. Nobody is able to say this. J.R.R. Tolkein invented this style of writing, he is the ruling king of fantasy. In fact, if you look carefully, The Wheel Of Time takes many ideas from the L of the R. Here are a few examples from book 1:
1.Tavern Ferry-Buckleberry Ferry
2.Character traits such as:
lead character: Rand, similar to Frodo
Mat-Sam
Perrin-Merry or Pippin
Magic-Moiraine-Gandalf
Warrior/King- Lan-Aragon.
3.Bad guys-
Supreme evil guy:The Dark One (Ba'alzamon etc.)- Sauron
Trollocs-Orcs
Myrddraal-Nazgul
And So on.
In conclusion, though, these books are great!
