  The Dork Cynic Reviews: The Eye of the World
The first thing one tends to notice about The Eye of the World is that its similarity to J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings is too forthright and obvious to be mere coincidence derived from its sword and sorcery trappings.
The characters of The Eye of the World are, amazingly, even more thoroughly and consistently irritating than the prose, which is an accomplishment so worthy of recognition it almost makes me wish there were literary Golden Raspberry Awards.
The Eye of the World ends as it began, in a heap of contrivances, leaving me gazing back at eight hundred pages of convenient coincidences, uninteresting characters, hamstrung antagonists, and all the aforementioned stylistic and structural problems with a dumbfounded expression on my face.

In particular I liked the "Ways." And, in the case of The Eye of the World specifically, the book ends with a bravura battle scene and final act from Rand that does indeed generate the much-needed emotional response from the reader.
Ultimately, what frustrated me about Eye was not that it was lousy by any stretch of the imagination; it was just that so much work had gone into producing a story so routine, so mundane, so...

It is generally referred to as "The Eye of God." Original Image Credit: NASA, WIYN, NOAO, ESA, Hubble Helix Nebula Team, M. Meixner (STScI), and T. Rector (NRAO).
