hehe, I\'m not a fan of the series now, that don\'t mean I never was, up through book four I was an avid reader, probably reread them fifteen or sixteen times. I lost a lot of faith in book five, I mean, I had so much trouble getting through it that I just skipped it halfway through, when I read book six, it felt as if I hadn\'t missed anything. nothing seemed out of place.... and THAT is a bad thing. there should have been a sence of misplacement. the characters should have been doing something completely new.
we are the music-makers, we are the dreamers of dreams - Gene Wilder as willy wonka

Johnny Depp\'s a poser to the throne. No one will ever play the part as well as Gene Wilder

Yes, thats pretty much how I felt too. I also have been thinking, Robert Jordan is kinda making up everything as he goes, you can tell. I mean of corse he makes it up as he goes, but he doesn\'t plan it out very well. Think about it, some of the earlier books were full of...some concept, but in later books, they are almost forgotten. Does anyone remember the Eye of the World? It has nothing to do with any later books...no continuation of the concept. How bout Trollocks? Are there any Trollocks in the latest books? Even Tel\'aran\'rhiel isnt very important anymore. I have noticed that Robert Jordan creates these great ideas, but then he moves on to another idea and his older concepts have little or no relevence in the rest of the story. I miss those first books\' concepts and ideas. The later books are filled with boring politics...
