I have thought about reading The Wheel of Time for a long time, but the feedback that I recieved has made me hesitate. I hear a lot of things like BW said, and I have also heard that the books are to long and that the series should be 6 books shorter. So I am not going to read it.

Anyways, how dare they try to compare Jordan to Tolkien! I dont even have to read Jordan to understand how ludicrous a statement that is!

Anyways, I have read all of the shannara books by terry brooks thus far, and have enjoyed them greatly! They are not as deep as tolkien, but I do think that they are very interesting, and have some great plot twists. What do you think of Shannara? All comments are respected and appreciated.
