Summary: exellent!
Review: Very well... Drizzt isn't perfect hero, but who cares?(but half past is)I think dark elf trilogy is one of bests I`ve ever read. Drizzt is little too good-he can do so many thigs and how many times salvatore has writed: Drizzt won him easily....? ok, gotta go now...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It IS possible to fall in love with a character!
Review: Salvatore is an awesome writer. This trilogy is one of the best I've ever read, it's really inspiring and the characters have so many dimensions to them. You have to remind yourself when you stop reading that they aren't real. Whether you're a fan of fantasy or not, this is definitly a must-read!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: R.A. Salvatore's Best Work
Review: If you have not yet read the Dark Elf Trilogy and you are an avid fan of high fantasy, then you can do no wrong in grabbing this compilation - and with great speed! While the world of Dungeons & Dragons offers little in the way of originality, this is familiar fantasy territory and sometimes it's a great deal of fun to find yourself again in a land such as this. Besides, Drizzt Do'Urden is a colorful hero with a wide fan base (myself included), and these three novels detail his dramatic origins in the harsh underground city of Menzoberranzan.

Drizzt's struggles not only put his sister scimitars to the test time and again (in brilliant action sequences which are perhaps Salvatore's primary talent), but he undertakes an emotional journey as well, and so will the reader that embarks on this quest at his side. This is indeed Salvatore's best work, and the shining gem of D&D fiction. Though it is in some ways a guilty pleasure, a mere step up in literary terms from a Marvel comic, you will have a splendid time if you do not go in seeking loads of originality. You may just be surprised by what you find.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Love ti or loath it, why is there no midle ground
Review: R A Salvatore is not a great writer, he will be in time but at the moment is is just good. The dark elf trilogy is not easy to get in to for the casual reader but it is fun and provides excellent lightweight reading.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Ho-Hum..zzzz
Review: Well I guess if you like cardboard hero's this is the book for you. Drizzt might be the most one dimensional bore of a character I've ever read, he's like Dudley Do Right and Superman morphed into one superhero. The battle scenes (which pop up every three pages) have no suspense as our protagonist is the fastest, strongest, most well trained warrior ever, who also happens to have a 500 lb panther as a sidekick. On the other hand I did enjoy the rest of the drow and they're twisted society, it was somewhat fresh and original.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Stunning Book
Review: For years I've been wanting to get into the fantasy realm of wizards, warriors, and the odd beasts that they battle. After all, I've been a huge fan of the same genre of video games for nearly all 19 years of my life. Well, at whim, I decided to grab The Dark Elf Trilogy because I had heard acclaim about R.A. Salvatore's books from different sources.

After having the book in my possesion for several days, I decided to sit down and begin reading. 3 hours later, I decided that I had picked up one of the best books I had ever read. I quickly finished the book the following day.

I highly reccommend this book for anyone even slightly interested in the Fantasy genre of books. The detail of the dark elven society that Salvatore dishes out is simply stunning as well as the character detail he goes into with everyone in the book. Everything that I have come to know over the years about this genre was reinforced by this book and even more knowledge was tacked on. I have filed this book away in my bookshelf as part of my permanent collection that I plan to re-read on a rainy day. Definitely as good as it gets in literature.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The hunter awakens
Review: AH my friends welcome and greetings to you. I am a collector of great legends and tales of the mighty and this rates among the finest...... ok now that i've got the roleplaying bug out of my system let me tell you a bit about why i loved this book. Well to start off, the author is a brilliant character maker. Drizzt Do'Urden as the tragic outcast and conquering hero deserves to have his own constellation as far as I am concerned. This masterwork of modern mythology visits our dual scimitar swinging hero's beginings in the realms of the underdark.We see him triumph over the evil of his race and the hatreds of racism all in one volume!

Secondly, if you've ever played a roleplaying game this book reads like an adventure plays. If the fight scenes were any more descriptive i may have picked up a sword and ran into the fray myself!

Last but definately not least this book is not just hack and slash cut em up conan the barbarian fantasy the characters actually have lives outside of swingin the odd blade and kissing the fair maiden. It really drew me in.SO if you're in need of a hero or a way to pass the time on the beach i recommend the dark elf series , you won't be sorry.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: This book is awesome!
Review: At first I thought I wasn't going to like the book, but most books are that way, but after a few days, I could not put it down. This was the best book I have read as to date. If you enjoy these type of books, I highly suggest it. You will fall in love with it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: paladin
Review: This was my first book purchased after becoming interested in Drizzt...A definite purchase if your a fan of the Drow Ranger as I am...These books are hard to put down once you've begun...I hope Drizzt lives a long adventurous life and becomes more active in future Computer Roleplaying Games...
