Well, you guys sold me. I checked your comments on a computer at my work ( the Apple store in Boston) and I figured when I leave I'll hit the Barnes & Noble on the way home and grab Eye of the World. Managed two chapters on the way home and yes it is right up my alley so far. The style of writing isn't bad at all I think. A lot of people don't like over-descriptive books but I happen to be a massive Stephen King fan so I'm used to endless paragraphs of description. I truly appreciate your answers guys and I definitely look forward to being part of the WOT world and joining your discussions. Thanks again.

g'day mate; I think it was 2years ago a friend at work was totally obsessed with WOT and got me into after a couple of months of badgering about how good it is and why i should be reading it instead of the book i was reading at the time. It wasn't until i finished that book at the time and i was about to go on leave for a minor back operation he lent me his copy of the 1st book, from there i was hooked and went brought the series because i didn't want to wait until i saw my friend again to read the rest.

I think you just sold me,

I originally came to these forums to get more information on 'Mr Sanderson' and his writings, Since he is going to be completing the last installments of this amazing series. I have been contemplating reading Mistborn since it's going to be quite some time before 'Brandon' can complete AMoL. (Have decided to do so). A couple of days ago I went out in search of this trilogy and none of my local book stores have it  and won't until the end of next week(I live in Melbourne). So i went onto eBay and was able to secure myself a copy.  So now i'm sitting here wondering what i can do to pass the time between now and when the books arrive. I came back to these forums and had a better look around and came across this thread after reading the 1st 7 pages of this thread you all have gotten me really excited about this series again and, yes you guys have 'sold me' I'm going to re-read these books again.

PS.Just my 2cents favorite characters for me were/are mat & perrin.  Then Moiraine towards the end.
