The second read is quite enjoyable. The books are so massive you simply cannot remember everything so you can relive each scene almost like the first time. Min's viewings are very interesting when you re-read them because you will know what they mean.

As for the books themselves, books one through four are great. However, books six through ten get slower and slower. More and more plot, descriptions, characters, clothes etc. Book ten, Crossroads of Twilight, is a real snoozer. It simply rehashes the amazing event of book nine, Winter's Heart, from different points of view. The author got a lot of heat for it and book eleven, Knife of Dreams, is far better. It has some "spinning Sadin" scenes that will blow your mind. Then the author died, but left copious notes so Brandon Sanderson is writing the final three books. He wrote two with the final, FOURTEENTH book due January 2013.
