Book - The Wheel of Time

A fantasy series, which up till today has 11 books and one extra prequel book. and there are about 3 more books that will come out...The series was created by a guy with the pen name Robert Jordan, which died in 2007. As the series wasn't finalized at the time of his death, his work is now being continued by Brandon Sanderson (who also created the Mistborn Series - which is quite good, but maybe next time)

I'm not gonna give you a full synopsis of the series...may I remind you there are 11 books and 3 more to follow. The background of the book is a mythical place kinda like the one in Lord of the Rings, but without the talking trees and no gnomes and no hobbit too. But there are snake like creatures & fox like creatures. A world where a women with gifts (powers) are controlling the world from behind. A world where a chosen one will rid the world from the greatest evil. Where fate plays a big role.

To me its a good book...but initially I was not that quite interested, but it keeps getting better and better...the series is famous because of its all so many characters...So at first I read only the part with my then favourite character = Perrin Goldeneye...then I got reading about Matt Cauthon, which became my current favourite...then the stories of each individuals keep on interacting with each other, so it cause me to read the pages that involve the other characters...then in the end, I read the book from start to end without missing a page

The thing that you have to know about this book:
  1. Its great...
  2. It progress slowly, but it will get better and better
  3. the characters in this serie seems to fall in love with each other to quickly
  4. the girls in this series are whiny & bitchy...haha...seriously
  5. there are a lot of characters and you will have to know all the names
  6. Its great...
  7. there seems to be no main characters
  8. Its great
The following are among the characters in here:
  1. Rand Al'Thor - the main hero of the series, the so called best of the best, the dragon reborn, a bit crazy coz he hear voices in his head (a sign of madness), open to polygamy, can't handle the pressure
  2. Matt Cauthon - coolest guy ever, he smokes, drinks, lucky in cards and gets the ladies...haha...a bit mad too, coz he hear voices in his head too...irresponsible and loves to swear
  3. Perrin GoldenEye - the man with the soul of a wolf (please read the book to understand), the strong and silent type. The first out of the three to get married and has some infection in his eyes that cause it to be yellow...haha
  4. Moiraine - hot chick, royal lineage, try to control Rand, Matt & Perrin coz these guys are freaking important...and shes a bitchy...hot
  5. Nynaeve - bitchy...bitchy..bitchy...she thinks she is right all the time...need to attend anger management classes...hot
  6. Elayne - A princess...also a bitch but not too much...thinks too highly of herself...hot
  7. Egwene - bitchy but understanding and shes hot too
  8. Lan - A king without a kingdom...Moiraine's bitch...haha...the silent, poker face type...if only he could play cards...
  9. Thom Merrilen - Old dude...good entertainer...good spy...good lover...good knife thrower
these are only a few of the characters and with my own assessment.

But seriously its a good book...and anyway reading is cool!
