The Great Hunt (The Wheel of Time, Book 2) is the original second book in the Wheel Of Time series. It is an excellent book, and I would recommend it to anyone interested in an enormous fantasy series.

This book is merely the FIRST HALF of The Great Hunt (The Wheel of Time, Book 2), if you already own The Great Hunt (The Wheel of Time, Book 2) DO NOT buy this book. Why it was ever released is a mystery to me, someone is probably trying to make more money from the series.

If you're a fan of the series, please use the above link to get to the REAL book, ignore this one.

Just wanted to say that I loved all the books. Yes some parts did run on and on, but what book that thick doesn't. Another thing is I have only found these books in the younger reader sections not in the adult sections of barnes and nobles. I believe they are marketed for a younger crowd. Robert Jordan died on sept. 16, 2007. So have a little respect.

New Jordan readers beware! As the prior poster mentioned, Jordan's greedy lust for a big payday has led him to splitting his novels in two and then selling both halves as separate books. Do not waste your money getting into this series only to have Jordan try to rip you off some more with his mediocre efforts on books 6-10.

With several of these books, 9 and 10 if memory serves, Jordan writes a whole lot of nothing and spreads it over two books. Both of these books take place at the exact same time, are voluminous in terms of number of pages, introduce multiple, meaningless story arcs and characters, and each only has about 150 pages of actual plot advancement.

Don't get me wrong, The Great Hunt was a fantastic book. Having to pay twice as much to read it is simply unacceptable.

i think this series is amazing and the illustrations really explain alot. i recomend this for readers of all ages. you'll love it

I'm getting tired of hearing everyone whine and complain about this series. Put simply the Wheel of Time books are amazing. If you have the time and are interested in reading them, you should.

That said, this book is the first half of the second novel. While some people may see this as a huge corrupt money-making scheme, this is actually a good idea. Many people turn away in horror when they see a novel that is longer than a couple hundred pages. Printing the books like this makes it easier for the story to spread and gain popularity because more people will be willing to read it. And everyone who read the second novel already and was foolish enough to buy this because they got excited when they saw another Wheel of Time product, stop whining, it was your own fault.

I understand why people are frustrated that RJ has not yet completed the series, however, everyone just has to relax. RJ has written 11 novels of this series already as well as a prequel. Hopefully he will finish the series sometime but everyone should stop complaining and realize that RJ has already given us a great gift and he'll finish it when he has nothing left to say. Be thankful for the long novels you've gotten already. I've been happy with every one.

Thank you,
