Summary: Not just this book, but all four were GREAT!
Review: I thought this was a great book, I have not read it in about three or four years, but I still can remember it as if I read it yesterday. I grew fond of Sturm and the knighthood. I was (literly) heartbroken by his death, as I was with the others. I don't really know about everyone else, but I am sure you laughed when they laughed, you cried when they cried, and you loved when they loved. Weis and Hickman didn't just introduce the world of Krynn to readers, it brought us into the world.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Phenomenal!
Review: Normally a sci-fi reader, I read this book with great reluctance at my friend's insistance. How wrong I was! Even when my heart was set on this being a terrible book, the book quickly drew me in and lifted the pall from my heart. I loved this book! It has the right amount of action and character development that is so rarely achieved. I am now working on the entire, 80 book series. I could rave more, but I have to leave for the bookstore!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolute Genius
Review: After almost eight years removed from having first read the book on the recommendation from a friend, I can still feel the magic of this awesome tale that began years ago and still continues to wow its audience. I have read all of Weis and Hickman's books and though i know how it will end, the excitement never leaves. From Tanis's trouble with his home and dear, noble friend Sturm, to the mysterious bond between Raistlin and Caramon, the love of Riverwind for Goldmoon, to the peculiar relationship between Flint and the joyful Tasselhoff, over and over I have read this book and over and over the magic remains. Once you embark on this epic journey, you will never stop. For those interested in the true classic of all Fantasy books (yes Mr. Jordan I know you stole from this series, every bit as much as Goodkind stole from you) the Chronicles and the books that follow are the true legends of their respective genre.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Book Ever!
Review: When I first got hold of a copy of this book, I got it from a complete stranger. He raved about it and said it was really good. I read it in the next two days. The best thing I ever read. My only copy is all torn up and battered because he read it so many times. so I got a new one and the rest of the series with it.

This story describes the quest of a group of old friends and some new friends as well. The main charicters, Tanis, Raistlin, Caramon, Sturm, Flint, Tas, Goldmoon, and Riverwind travel far and wide on the land of Krynn in order to solve the mistery of the magical staff taken from a broken city where death flew on black wings.

The group of friends encounter many interesting people on their journey, such as the forestmaster in Darken wood, Tanis's old friend Gilthanas, and a funny old magician named Fizban.

All in all I would highly recomend reading this book if you enjoy a good adventure, as well as a few laughs.

Summary: The novel that launched a thousand others
Review: The enormous Dragonlance saga began with the well-earned success of this first book of the Chronicles trilogy. It quickly establishes a set of central characters so interesting, yet completely different from each other, you'll remember them clearly years afterwards at the mere mention of their names.

This novel is blessed with the best comic relief (Tasselhoff, the perfect innocent) and most intense, complex magic-user (Raistlin) I've yet encountered. 'Autumn Twilight' is almost imcomparable for its unusual combination of relentless comic-book action while producing such fantastic character development.

More descriptive violence than necessary, but quick paced reading, vivid scenes, wonderful shifts between light and dark tone, not to mention its unforgettable characters, easily earn this book five stars.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: High quality easy reading book.
Review: Hi! This story has to be one of the best I have read in quite a while. I tried to read Ann McCaffrey and, well, was dissappointed. Then I read the Enchanted Forest Chronicles, which I greatly enjoyed but it left me wanting something. After which I read the Wheel of Time Series. I loved it, but it was a hard read. This book is great for those who have a harder time reading, or are just too lazy to read Robert Jordan (like me ^_^). The style itself is very close to that of The Hobbit. There are many differences, though. I read this book for a book report, but I had to finish the trilogy. Now I have to present it to the class and the three are blending in my head and I can't draw lines where one stops and another begins. This is a good thing: The transition from one book to another is very smooth, unlike Wheel of Time where I had to read fast and furiously to catch up to where the story started. O.K. Enough with my long winded speech of how wonderful entering the world of Krynn is through the imaginative writings of Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. I think that everyone should at the very least give this story a try, whether or not you're a fantasy lover.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best!
Review: Dragons of Autumn Twilight is the beginning of a phenomenal story of the classic fight of good versus evil. Each character is unique and interesting and the grave seriousness of the book is perfectly balanced by the innocense of Tas, the hearty grumblings of Flint of course then there is Fizban...but he is something all his own. As the group struggles through each adventure you learn to love and hate each one, and before you know it you are done and dying to pick up the next book in the series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It is a must!
Review: Dragons Of The autumn twilight is one of the nicest novel I have ever read. Almost all fiction-fantasy lovers should read this book. Every page is sucking breath.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love this book!
Review: Good book! From the very beginning it was very exciting and fast paced, but at the same time it let you get to know the characters enough to really like them from the very start of the book. The storyline was really good and I especially liked how Dragonlance had a deep history even in this very first book. The ending left you wondering without having a lot of cliffhangers. It makes you want to buy all the other Dragonlance books

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The first ever Dragonlance book(a milestone)
Review: I made the mistake of going into the Dragonlance world in the second trilogy. It confused the hell outta me.

Dragons of Autumn Twilight really cleared things up. I laughed when i finally found out who Flint was, Tas spoke of him so much in the second trilogy. Speaking OF Flint and Tas, i always found their friendship very strange, i think if this were real life(some fans might argue that it IS real life), Flint would have killed Tas by now. He certainly wanted to enough.

Tanis wanst portrayed well enough in the second trilogy and his character too, was given color for me in this book.

Sturm...the scene where they are in the cage to be taken to the slave mines, Tanis comments to himself about Sturm's frequent fights with Deep Depressions. I think this gave Sturm a bit more character, put him past just a stone guardien of the Oath and Measure.

All in all, this is a worthwhile book to start with, and NOT dissapointing at all. Leaves you wanting more.
