The Wheel Of Time

Author: Jordan, Robert

Love or hate The Wheel of Time series, you can't deny the impact it's had on the fantasy genre as a whole. It's large, it's bloated, it loses it's way part way through, yet at the same time it's one of the most comprehensive and richly detailed fantasy worlds ever built. It's a series that spanned a generation Â of readers over the twenty years it took to complete the series.It's a series that should be read -- if you can must the formidable time and patience to wade though the ten or so thousand pages required. And for those who can and do, there are amble rewards scattered between the pages.The audiobook version is an example of what the format is capable of and how much more life a good audio narration can breathe into the story.The Wheel of Time audiobook is a standout performance by Kate Reading and Michael Crammer ÃƒÂ¢ two of the best (American) narrators in the business. The Wheel of Time has a huge cast of characters (both male and female) and having both a male and female narrator cycle through the gender specific POVÃƒÂ¢s helps to bring the story to life. The male narration of Rand al Thor by Michael Crammer is perfect ÃƒÂ¢ CrammerÃƒÂ¢s rich, deep baritone voice bringing to life the hero and his journey in a way thatÃƒÂ¢s believable and right. CrammerÃƒÂ¢s got one of the ÃƒÂ¢bestÃƒÂ¢ voices in the narration business; once you hear ÃƒÂ¢that voiceÃƒÂ¢ youÃƒÂ¢ll never forget it. HeÃƒÂ¢s my personal favorite narrator. IÃƒÂ¢d argue that The Audiobook Version of WOT IS the way the book is meant to be experienced and it wrings out a lot of extra nuance from the story that you wonÃƒÂ¢t get by just reading.Â At 13 books long, WOT draws up one of the most complex and well-developed fantasy worlds ever put to pen. The series lags in the middle for many volumes and Brandon Sanderson comes to the rescue to finish the series by the end. But a strong performance with one of the deepest voice narrators in the business. If you want to lose yourself for WEEKS in one of the largest, most developed fantasy worlds ever created, read to you by two of the best male and female narrators out there, listen to The Wheel of Time.Listen to a Sample of Michael Krammer reading The Wheel of Time
