After reading chapter 2 (thanks to the link in another thread) my thoughts on how much of the chapter was RJ and how much BS have changed.
Having never listened to audiobooks in the past, I found it interesting that listening to it I thought RJ had much more input into it then chapter 1. After reading it though, whilst I still think there's more RJ then chapter 1, it still seems a joint effort with quite a bit that's been filled in by BS.
It still felt more 'WOT' then chapter 1. Perhaps that was more outline was in place, perhaps BS was getting 'in the groove' of a WOT voice. I don't know. This reply isn't really meant to convey anything profound. I just found it interesting my viewpoint changed from the heard to written word and was curious if anyone else who'se both listened to and read it found their perception changed at all.
