Like many others, I started reading Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. I read books 1 to 6 and although I enjoyed the world Jordan had created, his long-winded descriptions of absolutely everything prevented me from picking up book 7. A friend suggested to me that I try the cd versions so I looked online and that's when I found Mike Perschon's review. Mike's review helped me put the series into the right perspective and influenced me to buy book 1 on cd. I must say that his review was spot on. Listening to the book with chapters as "episodes" is a fabulous idea and works quite well. I can't wait to buy the other cds. Thanks for the very helpful review, Mike! I hope everyone who considers reading Jordan, first reads your review.
