Reviews"Jordan has come to dominate the world that Tolkien began to reveal."--The New York Times "Jordan is able to take...familiar elements and make them his own, in a powerful novel of wide and complex scope. Open religious and political conflicts add a gritty realism, while the cities and courts provide plenty of drama and splendor. Women have a stronger role than in Tolkien...Each character in this large cast remains distinct....Their adventures are varied, and exciting....The Eye of the World stands alone as a fantasy epic."--Locus "Robert Jordan has created a fantasy world as tangible and credible as history. He has a fine eye for detail and a vivid sense of drama."--Morgan Llewelyn, Jordan is able to take ... familiar elements and make them his own, in a powerful novel of wide and complex scope. Open religious and political conflicts add a gritty realism, while the cities and courts provide plenty of drama and splendor. Women have a stronger role than in Tolkien.... Each character in this large cast remains distinct.... Their adventures are varied, and exciting.... The Eye of the World stands alone as a fantasy epic., " The Eye of the World is the best of its genre." - The Ottawa Citizen "A splendid tale of heroic fantasy, vast in scope, colorful in detail, and convincing in its presentation of human character and personality." - L. Sprague de Camp "This richly detailed fantasy presents fully realized, complex adventure. Recommended."- Library Journal "This one is as solid as a steel blade and glowing with the true magic. Robert Jordan deserves congratulations." - Fred Saberhagen "One hell of a story. [It] kept me up past my bedtime for three nights running-- and it's been a long time since a novel's done that ." - Baird Searles, Asimov's Science Fiction "A future collector's item. Jordan has brought out a completely new allegory in a fantasy concept that goes even beyond this massive story, working with an artist's eye and the sense of responsibility of a serious historian." - Gordon R. Dickson "Classic oppositions are brought into play: initiates versus innocents, good versus evil, the spiritual power of women versus that of men. The travelers themselves are full of subtleties and shadows--ordinary villagers who, thrust into cosmic conflict, are unable to abandon their simple human desires and fears. "This intricate allegorical fantasy recalls the works of Tolkien because of its intensity and warmth." - Publisher's Weekly "Robert Jordan has come to dominate the world Tolkien began to reveal." - The New York Times "This has magic and pacing and detail and human involvement, with a certain subtlety of a presentation and a grand central vision. Robert Jordan... is a lot of writer!" - Piers Anthony "An exciting story; the reader is drawn in early and kept there until the last page. There is adventure and mystery and dark things that move in the night-- a combination of Robin Hood and Stephen King that is hard to resist... Jordan makes the reader care about these characters as though they were old friends; so much so that the reader will put down the book regretting the wait for the next title in the series." - Milwaukee Journal Sentinel "A classic fantasy tale of the struggle between light and darkness, good and evil, death and life. Goodness, life, and light are always in retreat, always about to be defeated, but never quite! Don't miss it!" - Andrew M. Greeley "Certainly a title I want to add to my permanent collection, and I shall be eagerly awaiting the sequel, which is promised at the end." - Andre Norton, "Jordan has come to dominate the world that Tolkien began to reveal."-- The New York Times "Jordan is able to take...familiar elements and make them his own, in a powerful novel of wide and complex scope.

He has a fine eye for detail and a vivid sense of drama."--Morgan Llewelyn, Jordan's world is rich in detail and his plot is rich in incident. Impressive work, and highly recommended., Robert Jordan's The Eye of the World proves that there's still plenty of life in the ancient tradition of epic fantasy. Jordan has a powerful vision of good and evil-- but what strikes me as most pleasurable about The Eye of the World is all the fascinating people moving through a rich and interesting world., "Jordan has come to dominate the world that Tolkien began to reveal."-- The New York Times "Jordan is able to take ... familiar elements and make them his own, in a powerful novel of wide and complex scope.

Great quality copy of my favorite book!
I am so excited to get this copy of The Eye of the World. I lent my copy years ago and never got it back. This copy is beautiful and like new even though it is the same as the one that I received as a gift in 1990. Ready for my sixth read of the Wheel of Time series now that my first book in the series has been replaced.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
