Amazing Series, Amazing Readers

I am overjoyed to find audible choose to carry this Unabridged series. It is pretty much the only place anywhere you can find this extraordinary Unabridged audio series. The abridged version of this series is horrible; however this version is a true and rare audio gem. I have listened to literally a few hundred audio books in my life, most of which were either sci-fi/ fantasy and this series stands out as one of the best I?ve heard. It has exquisite readers both Michael Kramer and Kate Reading are among the best audio readers I've ever heard. As anyone who has heard audio can probably relate to, the quality of the reader is vital to the experience of the book and these are simple two of the best in the business. They capture the characters perfectly and draw you in like few other readers can. Another great and fairly unique thing this audio reading does is when the books comes from the perspective of a female character Kate gives you the female voice to match, where as if you are in the head of a male character Michael reads to give you that male feel. This makes a big difference in the whole experience, how much the reading brings the character to life and draws you into their world. Speaking of which, Robert Jordan's WOT world is one of the most vivid, complex and original world I have experienced in fantasy. The world's complexity continues to grow throughout the huge epic series. It makes you want to know what is going on in different lands almost as much as what is happening with different characters. In the first half of this series each book is better then the one before as the main characters, the world and the adventure expands. If you get a chance, please request that audible carry the rest of this Unabridged series. As of now they carry book one (The Eye of the World) and two (The Great Hunt). I guess that's about it. Enjoy, I hope you have as much fun with it as I did.

Great Book!

I really enjoyed this book. At first the narrarator was a little annoying, you could hear him breathing alot. But after an hour or two, he got much better...you could even tell the characters by the voices he gave them. I will listen to the entire series. I don't know why I waited so long to read Robert Jordan!

Fantasy Classic

Well paced, well written and likable characters. To bad the series has gone so far down hill. First 4 books of series are worth it, after that proceed at your own discretion. Get this one even if you do not plan on listening to the rest.

The Wheel of Time

Robert Jordan's series deserves all of its success. I have enjoyed reading and re-reading the books, and particularly enjoyed sharing them with others.

Audible has offered most of these titles in their unabridged format, and the readers are excellent. Kate Reading and Michael Kramer are superior in their interpretations of Robert Jordan's characters.

It is quite regrettable that Audible does not offer the whole unabridged series, and I hope this oversight will be corrected to the benefit of thousands of listeners

Great fantasy novel!

I'm usually much more of a sci-fi fan but took a gamble on this book due to the many good ratings it has received. This book is fantastic... perhaps a bit drawn out in spots but it is an excellent story which sets up an entire world of fascinating characters and events. The characters are realistic and fleshed out, reacting in believeable patterns to incredible situations. I'm now listening to the whole series and easily enjoying it as much as the Lord of the Rings series. Definitely worth checking out!
