Summary: Just like jrr
Review: the book seems very good. i would reccomend it to young teens and adults alike. fantasy lovers will love it. the whole trilogy reads just like the hobbit and lord of the rings. i personaly love stories with an unlikely band of heroes in a fantasy world. (i myself am writing a novel about a boy age 18 who is caught in a shipwreck and is traped on a fantasy filled island, which isn't an island at all but a twisted dream. the rest is about the people he meets, the places he goes and mosters he fights.)

Summary: Fantasy Lovers start here!
Review: I read this book almost 10 years ago and it is still one of my favorite books. This book is where you should start if you've heard of the Dragonlance saga but are not sure where to start. The story tells the beginnings of the War of the Lance and introduces the reader to the classic characters from the series (Tanis, Raistlin, Tas, etc) If you love Jordan's THE WHEEL OF TIME, or Tolkien's LORD OF THE RINGS, then you won't be dissapointed by this book!

Summary: AD&D Raid expanded; interesting
Review: This book, indeed the series, was linked to a series of tournament-quality Role Playing modules published by TSR, and is thus a direct spawn of TSR's extraordinary role playing game. Dungeons and Dragons started as a game that allowed players to enter an "adventure novel" world, roughly outlined by a Dungeon Master, and act out their own adventure story a la Conan the Barbarian, Bilbo Baggins, Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser, John Carter from Mars, etc. In Dragonlance series, the circle is closed, with a game adventure translated into a fantasy adventure novel. Weis and Hickman do a creditable job of capturing the essence of the RPG's fundamental premise: a diverse, multi-racial group of adventurers pursue a common goal. In this case they also pursue victory within the context of a Continent-wide war built along the same general guidelines as Tolkein's War of the Ring. Strengths: The action sequences, and the comic relief provided by Flint, Tas, and the gully Dwarfs. The fact that some characters die. Characterization of Tanis and Raistlin, and to a lesser extent, Caramon. Weaknesses: A logic defying use of steel as a unit of currenty. The reason gold/silver/copper were media of exchange in pre-banknote days was that they, particularly gold, do not breakdown and corrode with the speed of other metals, and they lend themselves to being made into beautiful jewelry more easily, being soft metals. Plot development a bit simple, however limitations are imposed by the genre. You must accept the D & D worldview of magic, demihumans, and other monsters without a lot of explanation. A good adventure, and certainly a big hit with D & D players.

Summary: Autumn Twilight - A classic
Review: DoAT is the first of three in the cornerstone trilogy of the Dragonlance Saga. This book and the two following is a work so excellent, I'm at a loss for words. This book deals with the concepts of good and evil. Of a few people from a small town that suddenly is thrown into the business of being heroes. this story has everything and it's simply impossible to put it down once you've started reading it. The characters is one of the many great assets of this book. they are very believable, complex characters, and getting into their thoughts is priceless. It helps the reader feel every bumb on the road, every moment of happiness and dispair and makes the book so incredibly captivating. for all fantasy readers, this book, this trilogy is an absolute must. I cannot say enough good things about it. In short, go order, go read! Est Sularus Oth Mithas

Summary: An Adequate Story with Average Writing
Review: I'm afraid I really have to agree with the reader from Dallas two messages below. There are a lot (an awful lot) of folks who hold this series in high merit, but I was barely able to finish this first book. The writing is so filled with cliches, stale dialog, and stereotypical characters that I couldn't bring myself to move on to the second book. The only saving grace was the overall plot itself was somewhat interesting. If you're just coming off of Tolkien or Jordan and are looking for further Fantasy (or if you are just used to high-quality writing), I wouldn't really recommend this series unless you can accept a novel written towards, what I would consider, an 11th-grade target audience.

Summary: It'll suck you in!
Review: I'm glad to see that this book is being released again! I bought it 7 years ago, and ever since then, I've been reading Dragonlance books! Believe me, this book will pull you right into the world of Dragonlance. This is a classic that you SHOULD NOT pass up!

Summary: A seventh-grader's dream; an adult's nightmare.
Review: I first read these books when I was in seventh grade, and was captivated. I decided to reread these books as a break from graduate studies, and I have found the story to be lacking and the writing to be awful. The characters are highly emotional and the bestial descriptions -- e.g., Raistlin hissed and Tanis snarled -- get old quickly. It is no wonder that these books attract kids, for the characters' emotional levels are as solid as teens suffering through puberty. And if you have not read these books, I highly recommend to you not to listen to those who compare them with Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings." Indeed, they are probably just as popular, but there is where the comparison ends. To site a friend of mine: these books are not even a scratch on the house that Tolkien built. But if you need something to do to pass the time while, say, riding a stationary bike, these books do just fine. They do not require much concentration.

Summary: This was the first book of this type i've ever read
Review: As I said this is the first book of this type I've read. I read lot's of fantacies but this didn't have any unicorns or wizards. To tell you the truth it was GREAT! It was exciting, there was excellant character development, and the plot was good too. This is the only book of Dragon Lance that i've read but you can be sure that i'm going to read more. I thought Tasslehoff was the best. Kenders are among my favorite now. If you like this but are looking for something a little less serious, try the Enchanted Forest Chronicals. But be sure and read this. It was great.

Summary: A classic of this age!
Review: I couldn't put this book down. The character development done by these authors makes you want to cry when something goes wrong to one of them. The best example is Raistlin. You can't help but feel sorry for the path he is forced to walk down.
