The Wheel of Time: Eye of the World

Not for a lack of trying

Are you kidding? This is a great book! I've probably read it about 10 times.

I'm not saying nobody desires to read it, I'm referring to how difficult it is to read because it's so wordy for some people. It's longer than the Deathly Hallows, has hundreds of characters, and the main characters only scratch the surface. Not negative things if you ask me, just these are complaints other people have.

If you can get through it, the rest of the series is fantastic. TEotW suffers from a period of time when fantasy publishers pretty much demanded LotR, so everyone wrote LotR.

I think that if you are willing to buy something like that, you're probably also willing to read it.
