I have come to the conclusions that generally males in WoT are even dumber that females - the latter might be stupid megalomaniacs but the men indulge them and obey them all the time, regardless whether they have a good reason for that or not, all that just because they are too scared of the power of women's glare.

Oh, c'mon Sonny could you imagine what Apsalar would do with these chicks?

And btw guys were no better - sooo powerfull and sooo unhappy

*Tugs non-existent braid like a megalomaniac harridan* Gah, I bite my thumb at you!

Don't forget to smooth your skirts and snarl "Men!" in a disapproving tone.

Cheers,

La Sombra, got sick of the cast of thousands of extras clogging up the story

All in all it lead me to think that Jordan must be scared of women in real life and think that we plan to take over the world

*Damn, has Jordan discovered my evil plan?*:confused:

[Dolorous Menhir]

I wish Perrin was here. He always knows what to do around women.

[Fiddler]

I think Jordan's also got some sort of spanking fetish playing out in his books, I mean how many times do you hear of men threatening to spank their wives, girlfriends and that one scene where the naked chicks (Morgaise, and the queen of saldea) get spanked in the snow? I mean really? The invaders pause from a moment of kidnapping to administer a little discipline with the switch? Insulting to the little intelligence I have.

ok now dont kill me i personaly think jordan is a bit over rated sorry thats just me

I believe that's the opinion of most people here .. Apart from ChrisW, but we all know he is clueless

[Red_orbiT]

He is overrated and underrated I think... I really liked the beginning, you could sort of feel the a good story building, it had a few focused characters and it was exciting. Then, it kept building, and building, and building, and building and building until the plot reminds of some elaborate maze with so many plots and characters that none of them can keep me interested and I feel a scream building inside my head in the lines of:
"Cut it Jordan! Cut it off now and get to the point! Why did you have to do this when it started so good? Why did you have to drown the few good starting characters in a mad pot-stew of bland/generic way too many other characters! Why did you have to increase the number of plotlines exponentially in every book without EVER finishing one? Why? Why!?"

What a relief. Felt good to get that out. Anyway, I'll still buy the rest of the books so I can finish it off. I still somehow care for the starting characters. I truly love/hate these books.

I found the first two average, but I really liked the third, fourth and the fifth. The sixth and the seventh were also average, but the last couple of books have been fairly poor. The elventh would rate higher than the tenth, but still not amazing.

[Fiddler]

At least in Jordan's work there's the whole spanking thing getting mentioned all the time, which in my opinion, makes it rate higher than RA Salvatores work, by one dispirited whack. other than that, they both suck.

[Werthead]

Both authors started off quite well then fell apart later on. But the imagination and inventiveness in early Jordan far outclasses that of Salvatore, if only because Jordan could make his own stuff up whilst Salvatore was stuck with the strictures of the Forgotten Realms and D&D.

Borrow book 11 if you lasted til 10, man. It's a lot better than 10, and around the level of 7-8. Plus, it ties up some of those dangling plotlines, and it's the second to last book. 1 more to go!
