“The Eye of the World” by Robert Jordan

This was an ok book and better than the tv series. However, the first part of it was very derivative of “The Lord of the Rings.” And I found the writing style irritating, because it tended to be wordy and unclear. It made me realize just now great a writer Tolkien was. Tolkien made it look simple, his writing style so amazingly precise and alive. Jordan’s book pales next to it, though I do like the way he handles the idea of there being a weaver, a pattern to the world.
