The eye of the world 
by Robert Jordan

Four stars****
 I give this book four stars mainly because i was only able to read about half way. it was vary good up until that point and i am sure it would have had a nice ending.

Setting
 The setting takes place in a time similar to the story's that Tolken had begun. the only differences are the names of the races, creatures, and places. there are a different style of ring wraiths but there are a lot more than nine, and the don't look for a ring. Another style of orcs are trollocs. they are twice the size of a man win a mans body, fur, and a snout of another animal( they are not vary intelligent either). there is a new spin on magic and spell casters. only a woman can wield magic and survive, and men who survive grow mad or die a terrible death if not trained.


main characters

there is one main character and 7 other side show main characters. the main one is a son of a farmer with a shady history. three others live in a place called emondsfield, there home village, with the main character and are roughly the same age. the others are visiting when the story and adventure begins to take place.


plot
young men at a curtain age are being hunted, for the purpose of recruited and thrown into the service of an evil "dragon".(a person that is like an Anti Christ in this world). this dragon is more powerful than any of those who claimed to be a dragon before him. rumors say that he wiped out all the magic casters sent to stop him. and is raising army's never herd of before. clans never seen together before are gathering for one purpose. to wipe out the light of man.
