Query: Read War and Peace. It's shorter.

When this book made its debut, and the wheel of time began to turn, the vision looked promising. Now, however, the series can no longer pretend to aspire to the heights of fantasy reached by Tolkien et al. This is not a great story; it is just a long one. The wheel of time continues to turn, with so many readers shackled to it, and it shows no sign of stopping. That additional observation made, I echo the comments made by the reader from Charlottesville, VA, on 2/24/99. Shakespeare, indeed! Lord, what fools these mortals be! Portia and Viola could teach the Aes Sedai a thing or two about womanly wisdom, although I must say Rand usually appears even more indecisive than Hamlet. Adieu, adieu, why cannot this writer say "adieu"?
