Amazon.com Review This box set of paperbacks includes the first three books in Robert Jordan's bestselling epic fantasy series, the Wheel of Time. No saga since Tolkien's Lord of the Rings has evoked such fervor among readers. In the first Wheel of Time book, The Eye of the World, Jordan introduces a world broken by phenomenal power and threatened by engulfing shadow. In The Great Hunt, our hero, Rand al'Thor, begins his epic journeys with a quest for the lost Horn of Valere, which promises to raise long-dead Heroes of Legend. And in The Dragon Reborn, Rand's destiny begins to take shape as his followers flock to him, and the world descends further into darkness. This box set is a great way to begin exploring the world of the Wheel of Time. But don't stop here, the second set awaits!

Loved LotR Loving WoT November 12, 2008 I have really enjoyed where Robert Jordan is going with these novels. I cannot wait to read the following books. If you like the genre and haven't read these books (like myself) do yourself the favor and pick them up!
Haven't finished it yet October 14, 2008 I haven't finished it yet but that's due to a lack of available time rather than desire. The novel is well written and elaborates on a world of mystical creatures and lore that every reader can be fond of.
Top Notch Fantasy September 25, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The first three books of the Wheel of Time saga are exceptional modern fantasy. There is a lot of originality, lots of action, and a powerful sense of both doom and mystery.
If you're looking at buying these books, you've undoubtedly come across the criticism of the series length and the quality of the later books. And its true, the series does falter rather badly beginning around book 6 or 7, and there is a steady deterioration from there. The sense of mystery and doom dissipate, the action and plot advancement cease and the characters all devolve into indistinguishable buffoons.
HOWEVER, the first half of the series, and in particular these first 3 books, really are great, and highly recommended. I'd say just keep reading the series until you feel you found the point where it doesn't work for you anymore, then skip to the end once Book 12 comes out.
Good quality, good product September 19, 2008 I love the books, I read them about a year and a half ago, and now am purchasing them to read again, and to keep. The box sets are good quality, although more easily roughed up than I would expect. They come in a very thin box, so the actual box isn't anything you would expect to keep around, either. Otherwise, definitely a good buy.

OK I have read The Sword Of truth series. It was Great So I decided To try the Wheel of Time. I truly belive that Robert Jordan And Terry Goodkind are the same.
