Its not a case of two extremes... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 05/04/2010 10:37:09 PM
I'm not sure - I do get the suspicion that RJ didn't intend for this series to be the next "Grapes of Wrath" or anything, so it's a bit easier for me to have fun with the series than a hardcore fan who thinks is the Best Series of Books Ever. That said, I'd just like to note that he actually liked Book 1, even though he noted it was extremely derivative, so even though he's very critical, he's not un-entertained.


Jordan may have never meant this to be the pinnacle of Literature, but he didn't work to create mildly interesting mindless crap either.

A more honest review that gave credit where it is due would have been nice.
