I would like to make my apologies, I came across this thread by pure accident and I didn't pay attention to how long ago it had ended. I suppose I will just have to agree to disagree about the WoT series. I have not been lost at all throughout the entire series and feel that Jordan knew exactly where he wanted the series to go and through foreshadowing he has shown that, even from the very first book. I realize that some readers don't enjoy many different storylines, but if you are an LoR fan, I know you have to love detail. That is what I love about the WoT. I love all of the characters and that they all have their parts to play. Sure there are characters that you don't like, but that is what makes a great story, more than just one antagonist and one problem.

Oh by the way alatar, about you ignorant little comment, LoR had plenty of moments that I could have done without too. I have to skip over everytime someone sings in the series. It drives me out of my mind. That doesn't mean that I don't love LoR though. It just means that Tolkien's writing isn't perfect.
