Amazon.com Exclusive Content
Amazon.com's Significant Seven
Robert Jordan kindly agreed to take the life quiz we like to give to all our authors: the Amazon.com Significant Seven.
Q: What book has had the most significant impact on your life?
A: The King James version of the Bible. That seems a cliche, but I can't think of any other book that has had as large an impact in shaping who I am.
Q: You are stranded on a desert island with only one book, one CD, and one DVD--what are they?
A: The one book would be whatever book I was currently writing. I mean, I hate falling behind in the work. The one CD would contain the best encyclopedia I could find on desert island survival. The DVD would contain as much of Beethoven, Mozart, and Duke Ellington as I could cram onto it.
Q: What is the worst lie you've ever told?
A: It's hard to think of one since I am genetically incapable of lying to women and that takes out 52% of the population right there.
Q: Describe the perfect writing environment.
A: Any place that has my computer, a CD player for music, a comfortable chair that won't leave me with a backache at the end of a long day, and very little interruption.
Q: If you could write your own epitaph, what would it say?
A: He kept trying to get better at it.
Q: Who is the one person living or dead that you would like to have dinner with?
A: My wife before anybody else on Earth living or dead. That's a no-brainer.
Q: If you could have one superpower what would it be?
A: That depends. If I'm feeling altruistic, it would be the ability to heal anything with a touch, if that can be called a superpower. If I'm not feeling very altruistic, it would be the ability to read other people's minds, to finally be able to get to the bottom of what they really mean and what their motivations are.

4.0 out of 5 stars
This one flows much better,
This review is from: Knife of Dreams (Hardcover)
I've been a loyal reader of the series, and this book begins to pick up again and has a few surprises along the way, which will have readers feeling relieved after reading book 10.I've known for a while that Brandon Sanderson would be finishing the series which motivated me to get through book 10 and this. I will say that the book at times does suffer from Jordan's characterstic attention to detail of what each character is wearing and setting the environment. Some readers may enjoy this, but I found at times I would have to read 2-3 pages of it and it would lose my attention. Overall 4 stars because I am a loyal reader and look forward to finishing the series.

Score this one for Jordan,
By A Customer
This review is from: Knife of Dreams (Hardcover)
Yes finally this book takes the series back to where it originally was...battles, the return of the shadow...all the characters, it was a good read. A few drawbacks still, like all that mumble jumble walking around the white tower figuring out who was conspiring and plotting against whom and so forth. However, the best part about this book is that you don't even have to read book ten to know everything that is going on. I read half of CoT before I put it down, and picked up KoD and pretty much figured out everything that had transpired through book ten. Overall it was enjoyable, it seems that book twelve actually might be the last of the series since the intensity increases dramatically. For those who have lost faith in this series, give it one more shot with this book.

Huge Improvement,
By Ken S (Whitby, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Knife of Dreams (Mass Market Paperback)
I nearly stopped reading this series after Crossroads of Twilight, but tried Knife of Dreams out. Let me just say that if you can get through books 9 and 10, you MUST read this, it is well worth the wait. Finally the plot takes off and keeps you glued to the pages (well in comparison with the last two), and events finally take shape. Tarmon Gai'don looks to be around the corner (about bloody time), and the characters (mainly Egwene) begin to make smart decisions instead of always making the worst possible one and the worst possible time. Believe me, well worth the read and well, well worth the wait.
