I've been told I'm Farrah Fawcett's long-lost child because of my hair. I'm a guy and I use bodywash as shampoo. <.<
IrrelevantHandle
Bodywash actually makes a superior shampoo if you have really hard water.
Really? Can you elaborate?
Bodywash is less likely to rely on sulphates, which interact with the minerals in hard water and cause buildup on your hair/scalp & skin.
Well, that may explain a few things for me. Thank you.

Ok so what's wheel time all about!
dooremouse
Very long but rewarding fantasy series. Starts very derivative of LOTR but evolves iinto something pretty great. Highly recommend it. Avoid
the Prime series. It's a shit show.
I got all four LOTR EBOOKS...may check it out, currently reading CHESAPEAKE by James Michener, fictional history
I would recommend spacing it out a little bit. Maybe read the first four and then take a small break. Unless you listen to the audiobooks.
Calicious
It’s a shame the tv show is so bad. These books deserves better
mardukkur
Vise versa. They made a semi-ok tv show out of fucking terrible books.
AMBM2
I liked both books and show.
Jampski
Girls super skilled but she's painted scenes from the show, which is dishonest to the books and is pretty much bad fan fiction.
I don’t get that complaint at all. The books were way too long to be filmable. I loved both books and show
They changed entire important key characters and their histories and goals, they also change key plot points and world defining rules...
That ultimately change the entire story, why things happen, motivations, and messages...for the worse. They said they had to change it for..
Time and yet waste entire episodes in places and events that never happened. They have characters do things they never could do, or would do
I'm the end they made it much much worse. They should summarize, not rewrite.
Not really. They summarized multiple events and pushed them together, but for the most part the rest of the story post eye of the world can
To be fair support this artist but do not watch wheel of time the show as it is garbage. They changed so much for the worse for nothing.

I was just contemplating the same thing and landed in 10 books reasonably, and 8 at utopian level of editing.

Lol, I hear ya. But realistically that only a couple of books. I love the premise and story, it just needed some serious editing.

There's an easy way to fix that. Take all the books and divide them evenly into eight volumes. There. It's now an eight book series!

Is the book worth it? the Tv series is just 'meh' enought to watch it when there is nothing else
MissTuchanka
I have read and reread the series countless times. The TV show is garbage.
I could never get through the first. The mains were so stupid and it felt like they were that way bc otherwise there wouldn't be a story.
soylentbeef
I think tge books are great! I have only started reading them and am only on the 3rd. I've not seen three show, though.
Don't. The show will make you sad.
FlyYouFLCL
If you like fantasy it's worth it to try the first book. I made myself finish the series after 20 years of trying ad don't regret it.
The TV show is horrible compared. They gutted so much of what was great about the story for that TV show.
FightOligarchy
They butchered it so bad it’s unrecognizable. The books are some of the best fantasy ever written.
IainG101
IMO, it's one of the most over-rated book series I've ever read.... It gets better at the end, when Brandon Sanderson takes over.
Llamahands
It is by far my favorite series ever. The book and show so far are not very similar. I enjoy the show just because it is new content.
WhoAmIWhoAreYouWhoIsThisCat

SaladinIskander

vindik8or
I didn't find it to be. Fantasy soap opera equivalent. I was really into it as a teenager but when the release schedule didn't keep up 1/
with my reading I couldn't ever get back into rereading it after it was all released. 2/2
ifitrains
The books have a loyal following but as someone who enjoyed LotR, and Dune... It put me off fiction writing. It's that bad. 1/?
It's a case study of how to make a lot of really inane filler. I now worry a new series is going to waste my time like WoT did. 2/2
Absolutely worth it. First book can be hit or miss depending on the person, but by book 2 you're in
TheFeralDog
The TV adaption sucked donkey balls almost as much as the last airbender movie
5050Saint
The first book is a LotR clone, but after that it grows into it's own story. It's long and good, but bogs down when the author gets prosy.
SaltyEsq
Tv series is shit. The book series is solid. Has a bit of a slog in it though. The audiobooks are also very well done.
apoorwriter365
It’s terrible.
ScrapCode
there are like 6 great books in the series out of 14 there is a lot of bull shit and boring sections but overall it evened out to be good
idonthavetimeforthiseither
The books are fantastic. I've read them several times. The TV series is meh if you haven't read them but ruinous if you have.
The books are a lot worse than the not super great TV series. At least up until book... I dunno 6 or 7 when I finally gave up.
SodaSamtg
The books are fantastic and deserved a better tv series. Read the books and you’ll know how bad it is.
barnwolf
I can't get past the third book. The author sets up THE MAJOR plot line, then abandons it for entire books at a time. It's frustrating.
mebe21
It's tough. I always fell off around book 3/4 in the past. This time I'm doing audiobooks, and the slow parts are much more tolerable
randomfan276
But if you stick with it, it all comes back around. There's very few if any abandoned story threads in the series, and even very minor 1
characters from the early books often pop up with larger roles later on. It makes the ending very satisfying- everyone has a role to play.
SeigeRhino
If you've read and enjoy Brandon Sanderson, I'd say go for it. Or if you love world building.
SunfishHero
I read 4 of the book series. I genuinely tried to enjoy the series, but it’s just boring derivative fantasy. Nothing special, for me.
I really liked the first several books when I was a kid, by the time 6 or 7 came out I was in college and just rolling my eyes.
MacClay
It's decent. It goes off the rails in parts and has some odd inconsistencies but so long as you don't need it to be a masterpiece it's good.
Drimee360
I would rather watch paint dry than read another Jordan/Wheel of Time book.
Books are great but a little long. The show was nothing like it and changed things for no reason.
Oh there's a reason. They wanted their own game of thrones.
Well they did better because they managed to fuck it all up season 1 instead of 7
BrownAppShaper
Each book could've been its own mini series, I'd definitely recommend trying the books
MightyMorphinPowerPenguins
Books are faaaaarrr better. It's very long, and some of the "middle" books drag a bit, but it's still one of my favourite series (even if
Books 8-10 are "the slog" to most, but worth getting through as they pick back up.
Robert Jordan did get a little too into the spanking and hair pulling at a number of points).
Targe0
From what I have heard the TV adaptation wasn't very faithfully done for the books.
[deleted]
It wasn’t, but not in a bad way. Original books were way too long to film, liberties were needed
sturmhauke
There's trimming for time, and then there's completely mangling the story and characters. The show did the latter.
notallwholurkarelost
Yeah and they can't say they cut for time because there is an entire episode with a side plot that is nowhere in the books at all.
meskarune
There is a lot of sexism in it that I can't over look. Breaks the story for me.
cheeseboy83
I seem to have an unpopular opinion. Loved all the books. I’m a patient man, can read big things. Hated the show. It massacred the story.
I didn't mind the show, but I haven't read the books. But still the show was average, so even as a standalone viewer it's not great.
NiHZ
I love how the one power is suddenly a get out of jail free card used by untrained hormonal teenagers to literally bring back the dead twice
… that didn’t happen. At all. What are you talking about?
Also its not split into sidar and sidin, and when linked you can be burned out against your will, despite being explicitly not possible.
Exactly. Which is the one thing it can never do in the books.
sacrosanctt
Yeah there's a whole extremely dark scene where Rand is trying to revive someone in desperation and it does not go well. Morbidly.
This happened in the show? I haven't been able to get past the first episode. What they did to Mat and Perrin was just too much.
No, not really. I saw it all. One power doesn’t bring anyone back from the dead
Jantessa
Yeah unfortunately. Show keeps doing fakeout deaths constantly. Both miracle saves are done without any training or practice too.
In my teens I loved it, 15 years later I thought it was mediocre. It's a decent story overall, but imagine fantasy written by a neckbeard
with a love for describing clothes. You could trim the series/text down to nearly half and not lose anything important. If you haven't, then
iwenttoimgurandalligotwasthislousyusername
The book series is very long. I'd say try "eye of the world" out and continue if you like it. The story is intricate and winding but, all...
... in all, one of the best I've ever read. A couple books are rather dry but meaningfully contribute to the story. 10/10 would read again.
PastaLaPizzaBaby
The first book is really boring imho
Zeboku
I'm on my third re-read. I love the series! Many people call it dry, but I like all the little "boring" details
japh
"rather dry" is an understatement. You can skip a few entirely and miss nothing. Sanderson was the best thing that happened to the series.
Books 6-8 could have been trimmed way the fuck down into one volume. I gave up after 8, it was so glacial.
Kinetik42
Winter's Heart is always the hardest one to get through for me
stupidfuntime
I've only read the series once but that book made me take a break
I read the eye of the world when I was in junior high. Had to wait a whole year between books. Plenty of break.
UnfathomableStupidity
Yeah that was rough to get through, but once you do and things start happening again? BRUH. And the abrupt change into Sandersons style
2 books later really set the tone for the ending of the series. I just started the 12th book for the first time and im loving it

I think tge books are great! I have only started reading them and am only on the 3rd. I've not seen three show, though.
dooremouse
Don't. The show will make you sad.
FlyYouFLCL
If you like fantasy it's worth it to try the first book. I made myself finish the series after 20 years of trying ad don't regret it.
dooremouse
The TV show is horrible compared. They gutted so much of what was great about the story for that TV show.
FightOligarchy
They butchered it so bad it’s unrecognizable. The books are some of the best fantasy ever written.
IainG101
IMO, it's one of the most over-rated book series I've ever read.... It gets better at the end, when Brandon Sanderson takes over.
Llamahands
It is by far my favorite series ever. The book and show so far are not very similar. I enjoy the show just because it is new content.
WhoAmIWhoAreYouWhoIsThisCat
The books are AMAZING! on my second read through now.
SaladinIskander
The books are amazing but the Aes Sedai characters can be very hard to read sometimes. *tugs braid*
Thisisnotreallymyname
If you like detailed scenery descriptions. The story is so much better in the books
vindik8or
I didn't find it to be. Fantasy soap opera equivalent. I was really into it as a teenager but when the release schedule didn't keep up 1/
vindik8or
with my reading I couldn't ever get back into rereading it after it was all released. 2/2
ifitrains
The books have a loyal following but as someone who enjoyed LotR, and Dune... It put me off fiction writing. It's that bad. 1/?
ifitrains
It's a case study of how to make a lot of really inane filler. I now worry a new series is going to waste my time like WoT did. 2/2
helpiamtrappedinacomputer
Absolutely worth it. First book can be hit or miss depending on the person, but by book 2 you're in
TheFeralDog
The TV adaption sucked donkey balls almost as much as the last airbender movie
5050Saint
The first book is a LotR clone, but after that it grows into it's own story. It's long and good, but bogs down when the author gets prosy.
SaltyEsq
Tv series is shit. The book series is solid. Has a bit of a slog in it though. The audiobooks are also very well done.
apoorwriter365
It’s terrible.
ScrapCode
there are like 6 great books in the series out of 14 there is a lot of bull shit and boring sections but overall it evened out to be good
idonthavetimeforthiseither
The books are fantastic. I've read them several times. The TV series is meh if you haven't read them but ruinous if you have.
mardukkur
The books are a lot worse than the not super great TV series. At least up until book... I dunno 6 or 7 when I finally gave up.
SodaSamtg
The books are fantastic and deserved a better tv series. Read the books and you’ll know how bad it is.
barnwolf
I can't get past the third book. The author sets up THE MAJOR plot line, then abandons it for entire books at a time. It's frustrating.
mebe21
It's tough. I always fell off around book 3/4 in the past. This time I'm doing audiobooks, and the slow parts are much more tolerable
randomfan276
But if you stick with it, it all comes back around. There's very few if any abandoned story threads in the series, and even very minor 1
randomfan276
characters from the early books often pop up with larger roles later on. It makes the ending very satisfying- everyone has a role to play.
SeigeRhino
If you've read and enjoy Brandon Sanderson, I'd say go for it. Or if you love world building.
SunfishHero
I read 4 of the book series. I genuinely tried to enjoy the series, but it’s just boring derivative fantasy. Nothing special, for me.
mardukkur
I really liked the first several books when I was a kid, by the time 6 or 7 came out I was in college and just rolling my eyes.
MacClay
It's decent. It goes off the rails in parts and has some odd inconsistencies but so long as you don't need it to be a masterpiece it's good.
Drimee360
I would rather watch paint dry than read another Jordan/Wheel of Time book.
Jampski
Books are great but a little long. The show was nothing like it and changed things for no reason.
dooremouse
Oh there's a reason. They wanted their own game of thrones.
Jampski
Well they did better because they managed to fuck it all up season 1 instead of 7
BrownAppShaper
Each book could've been its own mini series, I'd definitely recommend trying the books
MightyMorphinPowerPenguins
Books are faaaaarrr better. It's very long, and some of the "middle" books drag a bit, but it's still one of my favourite series (even if
Llamahands
Books 8-10 are "the slog" to most, but worth getting through as they pick back up.
MightyMorphinPowerPenguins
Robert Jordan did get a little too into the spanking and hair pulling at a number of points).
Targe0
From what I have heard the TV adaptation wasn't very faithfully done for the books.
[deleted]

AMBM2
It wasn’t, but not in a bad way. Original books were way too long to film, liberties were needed
sturmhauke
There's trimming for time, and then there's completely mangling the story and characters. The show did the latter.
notallwholurkarelost
Yeah and they can't say they cut for time because there is an entire episode with a side plot that is nowhere in the books at all.
meskarune
There is a lot of sexism in it that I can't over look. Breaks the story for me.
cheeseboy83
I seem to have an unpopular opinion. Loved all the books. I’m a patient man, can read big things. Hated the show. It massacred the story.
Targe0
I didn't mind the show, but I haven't read the books. But still the show was average, so even as a standalone viewer it's not great.
NiHZ
I love how the one power is suddenly a get out of jail free card used by untrained hormonal teenagers to literally bring back the dead twice
AMBM2
… that didn’t happen. At all. What are you talking about?
Jampski
Also its not split into sidar and sidin, and when linked you can be burned out against your will, despite being explicitly not possible.
cheeseboy83
Exactly. Which is the one thing it can never do in the books.
sacrosanctt
Yeah there's a whole extremely dark scene where Rand is trying to revive someone in desperation and it does not go well. Morbidly.
dooremouse
This happened in the show? I haven't been able to get past the first episode. What they did to Mat and Perrin was just too much.
AMBM2
No, not really. I saw it all. One power doesn’t bring anyone back from the dead
Jantessa
Yeah unfortunately. Show keeps doing fakeout deaths constantly. Both miracle saves are done without any training or practice too.
Salpinus
In my teens I loved it, 15 years later I thought it was mediocre. It's a decent story overall, but imagine fantasy written by a neckbeard
Salpinus
with a love for describing clothes. You could trim the series/text down to nearly half and not lose anything important. If you haven't, then
iwenttoimgurandalligotwasthislousyusername
The book series is very long. I'd say try "eye of the world" out and continue if you like it. The story is intricate and winding but, all...
iwenttoimgurandalligotwasthislousyusername
... in all, one of the best I've ever read. A couple books are rather dry but meaningfully contribute to the story. 10/10 would read again.
PastaLaPizzaBaby
The first book is really boring imho
Zeboku
I'm on my third re-read. I love the series! Many people call it dry, but I like all the little "boring" details
japh
"rather dry" is an understatement. You can skip a few entirely and miss nothing. Sanderson was the best thing that happened to the series.
sturmhauke
Books 6-8 could have been trimmed way the fuck down into one volume. I gave up after 8, it was so glacial.
Kinetik42
Winter's Heart is always the hardest one to get through for me
stupidfuntime
I've only read the series once but that book made me take a break
dooremouse
I read the eye of the world when I was in junior high. Had to wait a whole year between books. Plenty of break.
UnfathomableStupidity
Yeah that was rough to get through, but once you do and things start happening again? BRUH. And the abrupt change into Sandersons style
UnfathomableStupidity
2 books later really set the tone for the ending of the series. I just started the 12th book for the first time and im loving it
