Eye of the World #2

First of all, I personally think this is the greatest writer of all time and his books are amazing, even if they aren't my favorite for sentimental reasons, they are in pure literature genius. Mat is everyone's favorite character, and by that I mean everyone i have asked period. Rand is mine. He's just a wee bit crazy later, an Aielman, and the saviour of this fictional Earth, let's get a reality check for a moment, Jesus is the saviour of Earth, but not in this book. Now I may be giving a little bit away by saying that about Rand, but I didn't say how, and technically I don't know if he is or not, I'm just guessing. Rand is a bit messed up, granted.
Naturally, I must have some backing to what I say so, I'll tell you what to expect, as said by the critics; "The Eye of the World is the best of its genre." -The Ottawa Citizen, "Jordan's world is rich in detail and his plot is rich in incident. Highly recommended." -ALA Booklist, and my favorite- "Jordan has come to dominate the world that Tolkien began to reveal....The battle scenes have the breathless urgency of firsthand experience, and the....evil laced into forces of good, the dangers latent in any promised salvation, the sense of unavoidable onslaught of unpredictable events bear the marks of American national experience during these last three decades." Pretty cool huh?
But don't take my word for it. It's Robert Jordan's The Eye of the World, Book One of the Wheel of Time series. I suggest this to anyone who wishes to challenge themselves with an advanced and in-depth fantasy novel.
