Summary: ... GREAT ... ... ...
Review: This book is good... i wont give many spoilers, but its worth the read. It seams a bit slow at first but quicly gains speed. it tells of Drizzt, and his father/trainer and how they feel like outcasts in the drow world. It deals with undead and other monsters. Teaches you of the hatred the drow feel twords each other and twords outsiders.

A brilliantly written set of storys... I'll read it again, when i start to forget the plot... Its a good buy and worth the money...

Summary: I loved this trilogy
Review: I never used to be a big reader, but thanks to a friend introducing me to Homeland I've been reading a lot. The Dark Elf Trilogy started me on Salvatore's books. I can't put them down once I start. For anybody like me who wants to read but can't get into books easily Salvatore is the way to start. Read Homeland. You could get hooked like I did.

Review: a must read for sci fi fans

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Most Excellent In Every way.
Review: I'm on my second way through the trilogy and I find it simply beautiful. I think Salvatore is an excellent writer. I love how he describes battles.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Tried hard to like it but just couldn't
Review: After hearing nothing but glowing reviews of this trilogy I felt I had to read it, but unfortunately.....disappointment.

I think my biggest problem with it is that even just the basic premise of it seems so phony and forced. A child born into and raised in a society with a very strong code of certain values "somehow" happens to grow up with totally different values which just "happen" coincide with our own. -- Salvatore's implication: some sort of "universal morality"? Sorry but I just don't buy it.

And Salvatore's heavy-handed writing had me cringing as he endlessly seemed to be saying "ooooh, look aren't these people baa~aad". Yech.

The first volume was at least tolerable but having heard so many good things about it I plowed on through the other two as well. Well, things just kept on going downhill and by the third volume I found myself keeping on wishing that those "baaad, baaad" Drow would come storming out of their secret tunnels, lop off whiny ol' Drizzt's head and get a real story going here. These books needed more of the Drow and much less of Drizzt for me!

Apologies to the legions of fans I know this trilogy has, but this is just one reader's opinion. Take it as you will.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the greatest works of fantasy of all time
Review: There is no author better suited than RA Salvatore to write this series. He not only writes beautifully, but also understands both the intricate complexities of the D&D universe as well as any seasoned dungeonmaster as well as very real fighting (as in both armed and unarmed) techniques. The Drizzt Do'Urden series will rivet your eyes to the many pages as this good hearted dark elf's saga unfolds before you. I wish he would write a dozen more of them, and I consider their entertainment value far in excess of any book which I have read (of which there are many, including Lord of the Rings, Tales of Narnia, and many more). This author is probably the main influence which inspired me to become an author. Buy it today, you will not be disappointed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A MAJOR fan of the original Trilogy
Review: The fact that the three books were bound together in one solid volume makes this a book to have.

It introduces the wonderful world of Menzoberranzan, the politics of the Underdark, and the Royal families of it's denizens.

But more than that, you begin to understand the character Drizzt, and wonder at his difference to his cousins. You cheer, cry, and cavort with the knowledge that you're reading an epic!

Summary: Great Read In The End.
Review: This is the type of book that, in the beginning you will not be able to put down. I loved the entire first book, the second book got a little boring in the middle, but the last book wraped it up well. Like the title read above: It is a great read in the end.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wow
Review: This trilogy is simply great. Far better than any other Forgotten Realms books I've ever read--but then again, I haven't read Legacy or Paths :)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: best damn fantasy ive ever read!
Review: Wow! these books were an amazingly fast read for me. and i am not a very fast reader! Usually it takes a couple of weeks for me to read a book but i was done with Homeland in about three days. i had a very tough time putting all three books of the Dark Elf Trilogy down, they are just so damn good! Homeland has a very intricate and detailed description of the drow society and Drizzt's struggles in it. Exile is an excellent read of Drizzt's wanderings in the Underdark outside Menzoberranzan. Sojourn is an awesome tale of Drizzt's quest to find acceptance on the surface world. the Dark Elf Trilogy is my favorite fantasy books now. i have now started to read the Icewind Dale Trilogy. Five stars? i give it five billion!
