Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Slow start....slow middle, good at the end
Review: Of all of the "Dragonlance" novels I've read, this one was definately one of the most boring.

There is an odd dynamic between Galen "Weasel" and his two brothers Brithlem, and Alfrec. Alfrec apparently being a sadastic moron, and Brithlem well on his way towards being a wizard.

This is a very well written book, and Galen is very honest about his own personal shortcomings. But the sad fact is, there is just too much detail from galen himself on his views of the world around him, his brothers, etc. This book suffers from the lack of real action till the last three chapters. If you are just a devoted fan of the whole fantasy genere, then this is a book for you, but, if you are a fan of fantasy with lots of action, or different races, or magic even, then you might want to skip this one...

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Whiny brat grows up (a little)
Review: The last third of this book was pretty good, but the first 2/3's almost made me give up. The Pathwarden family is a typical "new money" family with very bratty kids. There are better ways to present a self-centered character than those used by the author.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: High comedy and adventure in one.
Review: The main character is the epitome of the reluctant hero. I enjoyed the first-person narrative, and was especially impressed by the unwillingness of the narrator to be heroic through most of the book. This is one I hope to read again!

Summary: I greatly enjoyed it
Review: The main character was sort of annoying but he was so well done that it is hard to get upset about it. The book is fairly funny and it has a good adventure in it. It was enjoyable because of its lightness. The main character (Weasel) is brutally honest about his less than corrageous actions while acting as a squire for Sir Bayard Brightblade. Even if you have never read a dragonlance book before this book will be just as good as if you were a long-time fan

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Weasel's luck gets him by, barely
Review: this book is very slow compared to the others, around page 120, or chapter 7 i am guessing someone told the author to lighten the mood a little. apparentlly it worked, and the book is lifted from the mire.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great book!
Review: This book was quite differant in a way, but in a very good way! i highly recommend that you read it, but i dont want to say anything else because i might ruin it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: excellent read
Review: this book was quite interesting. while it appears at first to be farfetched and "unDL-like", it progressively gets better and better until you can't put it down. the unique perspective of the "author" and the cunning evil of the scorpion make this one shine.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A good interlude in to Galen Beknighted(4 stars)
Review: This book was slow going at first then it picked up.. and when you get to Galen Beknighted it picks up and doesn't stop.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Weasel's Whining and Grouth
Review: This is another fine book in the DragonLance Saga, though at times you might grow tired of listening to the main character whine about the happenings. The book is pre-War of the Lance and contains new characters not in any other books...aside from the subsequent book released from the author.
