 The Wheel goes on, 2008-12-16
Book 2 of the series by Robert Jordan, the Wheel of Time, continued to hold my interest with as much intensity as Book 1. I have since moved on to books 3, 4, 5 and now 6, so I guess you could say I am well and thouroughly hooked.

Favorite book in the WOT series, 2008-11-15
My favorite used to be Dragon Reborn (Book 3), but after a recent re-read of the series the Great Hunt has replaced it. There are so many outstanding moments in this book: raid at Fal Dara, Rand encountering a Forsaken (and being trapped in an alternate world temporarily). There are several great emotionally-charged scenes: Thom's scenes in Cairhien, the alternate realities with the portal stones, Egwene with the Seanchan, Mat realizing his destiny...and my favorite-the redemption of Ingtar. What a tremendous book this was, how this wasn't my favorite before is beyond me!

Compelling sequel to the "Eye of the World", 2008-10-26
I'm not going to give much on the plot, since you'll have to read the first book in order understand "The Great Hunt." But I will tell you that this is a great, if not excellent, sequel to the first book in "The Wheel of Time." Like the original, this book goes far into detail with locations, objects, and especially characters. There is no "less is more" approach here; the excessive details really work here.
Then, there are the characters. There are so many diverse people here: people have different pilosophies, different motives, different emotions about important things, etc. There are those you will love (Rand al'Thor, Egwene al'Vere, Loial, Hurin, Siuan Sanche), those you love to hate (Ba'alzamon, Padan Fain, the Seanchan), and those you will have mixed feelings about (I know Ingtar tries to do good, but his emotions are WAY too forced).
And who can forget the many locations? There are hundreds of cities and forests and mountains, and I doubt that we'll dwelve into all of them when "A Memory of Light" is published.
The way everything intertwines, it's all brilliantly organized. The sub-plot involving the Great Hunt of the Horn, for example, does well with the sub-plot involving the many Ajahs of the Aes Sedai.
In conclusion, "The Great Hunt" won't do wel with those who haven't read the first book (read "The Eye of the World" if you want to read overly complex The Wheel of Time series). I give this book an A-.

Great book, 2008-10-20
Even though it seems a bit boring in the middle, the book does get you excited with the introduction of new characters, the explanation of some of the things mentioned in the previous novel (The Eye of the World), and also the addition of new elements, what makes it really thrilling! It gets really fast-paced and even more exciting towards the end. I'll leave that for readers.
