Down with Darrel K. Sweet!,
By "tekmanrj" (Rochester, IN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wheel of Time Calendar: 2001 (Calendar)
Of all things to have in a Robert Jordan calendar, do we really have to have just a recap of Darrel K. Sweet's horrible and inconsistant cover art? Rand, Mat, and Perrin look different on the cover of a every book. So I guess this would be a good calendar to get if you wanted to be able to rip out all the artwork and circle the discrepancies between the major characters from book to book. Or is this a secret message from Robert Jordan that our heroes are slowly morphing into other people? <gasp>

This calendar is excellent FOR WHAT IT IS,
By Nathan (Wilmington, DE United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wheel of Time Calendar: 2001 (Calendar)
I don't typically review calendars, but I'd like to refute a few of the negative reviews here. Yes, this calendar is filled predominantly with Darell K. Sweet's less than perfect artwork (The covers of all nine books, the alternate cover for book one, and the frontispiece for the story New Spring from the Legends anthology). However, all of this is clear just from glancing at the back cover of the calendar. However, it offers all of these images in high-quality reproductions without the text, and without the creases evident in the World of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time book. In addition, this calendar comes with a large poster containint the map of the Wheel of Time world. While not a new map, it is certainly fun having a larger version to refer to while reading. If you don't want DKS' artwork, don't buy the calendar. It's that simple, and these Amazon.com's review sections are not a proper forum for bashing an artist. I personally am enjoying having this calendar hanging on my wall.

Winters Heart,
By gail jenkins (Chattanooga, TN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wheel of Time Calendar: 2001 (Calendar)
I have only recently become a Robert Jordan fan. Within the last year I began reading these great books when my nephew saw me reading a Danielle Steele book and informed me that if I wanted to read something truly great I should read the Wheel of Time series. From the moment I picked up the first book "The Eye of the World" I was hooked. I quickly read the entire series that was available at the time. Now I have completed number nine, I couldn't even wait for it to come out in paperback. It was well worth the wait! I started getting upset when the reviews made no mention of Matt and what had happened to him but Robert Jordan didn't let us down, he filled us in quite nicely. Now all that is left to do is sit and wait patiently for number ten- or maybe not so patiently- hurry please Mr. Jordan but not to the detriment of the characters or plot. As to the calander: As soon as I saw it I wanted it. But when I viewed it online, or the pictures that were available anyway, I was dissappointed. I was hoping for some good clear pictures of the characters not the same old drawings that were on the book covers. Next year please give us something new. I still may buy it for the simple reason that I love the books but I'm not sure- how bout posting some of the pictures in the calendar that aren't book covers to help me decide, I've seen all of those and there should be at least two that weren't featured as cover art. Right?
