  <default_description>While the armies of Rand al'Thor, a farm boy cast by destiny into the world-changing role of the Dragon Reborn, continue their progress toward the Last Battle against the forces of the Dark One, other powers seek to exert control over the reluctant hero. Panoramic in concept, yet always focusing on the individuals whose actions make up the unfolding drama, the complex interweaving of plots and counterplots continues to gain momentum.&lt;P&gt;&#8212;&lt;i&gt;Library Journal&lt;/i&gt;</default_description>

As I read the 4th and 5th books, I became quickly disappointed with Jordan's obvious decision to start stretching the series and winging it to bring in a bunch of cash.  The breaking point was when I was reading this...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/13937711">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is another book in the series that I had to change my rating for. By memory, I had given it three stars, but now having read it again, I changed that to a four star review--really more of a four and a half star book for me. Why had I rated it three stars to begin with? Likely because it suffere...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/23673428">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Here's the deal: I love this dorky series, and it's been keeping me entertained for the past couple of months.  Hardcore.  I'm eating it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and all of the snacks in between.  My wife's still on book #1, having introduced me to the series in the first place, and is now gett...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/11338913">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I read the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan because both my husband and best friend had read them.  The best friend highly encouraged me to read the books - my husband warned me off.<br/><br/>The warning is not because the books are bad.  The first few, actually, are very good. Great characte...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2366037">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Ok let me state up front, I like this series.  I also think it has huge flaws.  This is my second time reading the series up to book 9, and now that its essentially done I decided to reread it.  I'm trying to compare and contrast it to other epic fantasy series that are considered its contemporaires...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2054660">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[There are parts of this series that I find annoying. The characters are, up to this point, quite predictable as is the action in the story. Pretty much the only thing that this story has going for it is the epic nature of it all. Despite the books setbacks there are a few things that it has going fo...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77333648">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Really really disliking this series. At this point, only reading it because my husband loves it so much. The women are all crap, basically implied as worth less than men, lots of ridiculous misogynist under-currents, all the women have penis-envy, it's just really annoying. The few decent characters...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/67785314">more...</a>]]></body>
