After the international release of Robert Jordan's Winter's Heart, Jessica Kaye from the Publishing Mills Audiobooks asked Michael Mackert the brilliant webmaster of the Wheel of Time Website "wotmania.com" for permission to send an interviewer to the site and poll his posters for their response to Mr. Jordan's new novel. The following are some of the replies:
Bad Ash
I loved it! I read it 3 times yesterday! After the 2nd reading I told myself that I wouldn't read it again that day...but I couldn't help myself. I'm addicted. It was great!
Pento
It was fine.
el
It was delightful, intelligent, insightful and a wonderful read. The character development was genuine and
well thought out. I was particularly impressed with the conversational tone of the dialogue. Very well done Mr. Potter! Whaa? Oh...it hasn't come out in England yet. Sorry.
Corinth
It was awesome! I quit my job yesterday in order to run to the store and buy it. My boss wasn't real pleased and I can't pay my bills now...but it is great!
wotmania
I am relieved. I am truly relieved. *sighs* The book is out and now my children have something intelligent to post on the board. Thank you Mr. Jordan...thank you.
Ishara
Wonderful! I couldn't put it down! While practising the piano (for 6 hours by the way) I had the book propped on a music stand and read while I practised. (I'm really tired btw). It was great! *squirts interviewer with Super Soaker 5000*
Tashmere
*with a tear in her eye* Mr. Robert Jordan has done a very fine job. He has impressed me yet again. I like him as an author (as if that surprises anyone) and I support him as a person. (It must be tough to do all that writing while, at the same time, running the TOR corporation...he runs that doesn't he?) I just hope that before the next book comes out he will find a way to get my daughter to read the series. I've sent him an email asking for his insight into the matter...

Kill! Die! Kill! Flame! Burn! Rot!...can you tell that I really liked it?
Durandir Nor
Shaidar Haran - The book is out Dark Master
Dark One - FINE...GET YOUR HAND OFF MY LEG!
Shaidar Haran - Sorry Oh Handsome One...but would you like a copy of the book????
Dark One - NO. I'VE ALREADY READ IT. I'M NOT HAPPY
Shaidar Haran - Oh?? I hate to disagree with you my Hot One but I thought it was great.
Dark One - YES. YOU WOULD WOULDN'T YOU, YOU MYRDDRAAL FREAK! RJ DIDN'T PORTRAY ME AS HE SHOULD HAVE!
Shaidar Haran - How would that be Well Formed One?
Dark One - SENSITIVE, MISUNDERSTOOD, NEGLECTED AS A CHILD...YOU KNOW THE DRILL!
Shaidar Haran - Yes...yes I do *smiles*...but I liked the book a lot. Uhh...Master? Can I put my clothes back on now?
Dark One - *SIGHS* FINE........FINE....
*interviewer backs slowly and carefully away*
Simon and Malkier
M: The book was exquisite
S: Mighty fine Malk...mighty fine. Thank you for your thoughts on the matter!
M: No, no...thank you Simon for the original idea. Great post!
S: You bet my friend. Always a pleasure reading your responses. Thanks again.
M: Thank you my friend. You inspired my original opinion.
S: You are quite welcome. I hope book 10 comes out soon so we can post a review thread like this again. Thanks again for your original post.
M: Yeah...I hope so too...you are welcome by the way...

Is the new book out? Is it out? Really? See we had this really big party at our house last week, you know for really old people who smell (well my folks had the party really, it was really BORING and my aunt drove the lawn mower into the pool and stuff - pretty dumb duhhhh!!!) And the party went on for EVER so I haven't been out for awhile. I'm lonely. Did the book come out already???
Mesaana
I'm pretty. I'm pretty and I am smarter than all of my friends and I am the High Priestess of Cheese and...Oh...the book...well, it was fine...Anyway, like I was saying...
Geoff/Kaatunut/Burr Y'tar
Stupendous! We think the book was stupendous! We are amazed at the "m" particle movement of the One Power as Jordan describes it in Winter's Heart! Who would have thought of it in that way!...What?...The story?...It was good too...but the thermodynamics! Now that...

Newbie
I haven't read it yet but it was great! I loved the picture on the cover (was that Rand on the horse? It was wasn't it! I knew it! I like Rand!) He can channel the One Source you know...
Random-Man
There once was a great writer named RJ
Who could crank out some pretty fine essays
This last one I liked
Though it was a bit trite
So I'm hoping the next will be smashing!

I believe all news and research that supports my opinion, and dismiss the rest as conspiracy and lies.
