Rating: Summary: Awesome Review: This conclusion to the Chronicles trilogy could have no imprvement.
Rating: Summary: The best of the series Review: An unlikely band of outcasts...Kender... Half-Elf... Warrior... Knight... Plainsmen...Cheiftens Daughter...Dwarf...Bar Maid...And a Dark Souled Mage. Together they hold the key to saving the world of Kurin and from the evil black queen Takisis. The question is will the ever make it out alive? Will they ever see each other again? What happends with Caramon's and Raistlin's ever growing gap of brotherhood? Or has Palidene have different plans... This book is the best of the three. It's good for all ages and realy vasts the imagination. If you ever feel like you need to be somewhere else or you just don't belong pick up a Dragon Lance book and fly there on the wings of a golden dragon...
Rating: Summary: Great in 5th grade, great now. Review: I must say I agree with John from Cambridge on the first page. I read this book for the first time in 5th grade, and was captivated by all the battles and the dragons. But now as a senior in high school, I thought it would be fun to reread it. I liked it for a entirely different reason this time. The intense emotion of all the characters, the overwhelmingly "human" aspect of them, the bitter realizations at the end....all of it combined to make one of the best books I have ever read. I am going to Harvard next year, and with all the classics I have read in school, I have not read a book with as hauntingly real characters as this book. They'll stay with you longer than even the Baggins and Gandalf will.
Rating: Summary: Book or Masterpiece? Review: What can I say about this book? This series? Did I like it? Yes, I loved it. But what can I add? Should I mention that the books are unparralled in all my readings? Laugh in the face of Tolkien? (No disrespect meant for the classics) Should I say what I think of the book? This book, (and series) are by no account to be taken off the list of best loved books of all times. The tales of heroism, the passion involved, give in reality to all the fantasy wrought about in its seems. This is a masterpiece amoung masterpieces. Truly to be reguarded with highest honor. This series...I tale of incredible cuarage, vied with mistory, and intreage, gives perfect detain and insight into the minds of there creator. What a tapastry to behold. Tanis...Half-elven, torn between two loves just as the two sides of his egistance tear at his soul, the fair maiden Luarna, and the courupt courupt, sensuos Kitiara. Goldmoon and Riverwind, there stedfast love bringing hope to the world, wile Tanis's nearly destroying it. Raistlin and Caramon, tell a tale of brothers, souls bound as one. Raistlin, his dark heart and darker ambition bring such life and vibrance into the books you must stop and let your mind rest, taking in the sad truth we must face in our society. Raistlin, the impiphany of Evil-the impiphany of what we all have inside, what we all feel, what we all are. We have all had the wish that just once we could break our chains, unbind our feet, and make the world pay dearly for its sins against you..... Finally, Flint and Tasslehoff. Flint, the lovalble, grumbling old dwarf, and the irrepressable kender Tasslehoff, bring humor and life to the storry, even when the bleakest of times effect the companions. And very lastly, Fizban....the discrepit old mage, alaways seemingly stepping in at the oddest moments and sending everything on its correct course, gives a surprising and satasfying twist at the books conclusion. (don't read ahead in the book! ) Should YOU read the book? As Flint would say, "You lame-brained doorknob of a kender! Of course!" So here we part. I place the kenders small hand in yours, hand you back your most loved and treasured possesions the kender has undoubtedly "Aquired." Pat you on your back, and send you on your way down the path that leads to the detailed and beloved world we call Krynn. -AsiD_ReiGN- Any DragonLance fans, like to add any changes or talk of the good old times Tas and you have had, Write me at AsiD_ReiGN@yahoo.com.
Rating: Summary: Great, but not as good as the second one. Review: If you are like me, then you think that the second book in the series was the best. That influenced my opinion on this book. It was better than the first, but not quite as good as the second. I can't say too much without spoiling the story, but I can say that Caramon and Raistlin have been exposed (but nothing that isn't in SOULFORGE). The best parts of the whole Chronicles story are in this book. It is a very reccommended read.
Rating: 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.
Rating: Summary: The Final in this Trilogy......or is it? Review: Clearly this novel has excelled the hopes of most readers, and in time, your hopes. True, sometimes characters have to "change" to get the plot twisted ( an unfortunate thing though)and then after words, the character has to struggle to regain the "stature" he once had. The action in this novel is gripping and the love story seems to finally make itself completely apparent, not just something thrown in. Once again, Weis and Hickman have outdone themselves...and I can't wait to continue to follow the entire Dragonlance saga...thank you (Weis/Hickman)for bringing and creating this world for us to enjoy so much!
Rating: Summary: best book for fantasy fans Review: I started to read dragonlace with Dragonlance Chronicles and I can say that dragons of spring dawning is the best of them... I've read it for three times but I can feel the same feelings that I felt for the first time... All I can say that's the best book I've ever read
Rating: Summary: Tied for the best Review: This book plus the first in the set, Dragons of Autumn Twilight, have to be the best books I have ever read. I read the first in the set when I was in fifth grade, and I haven't stopped reading Dragonlance. Dragons of Spring Dawning ends this great trilogy with a bang.
Rating: Summary: Great Book, a Must Read for all Fantasy Fans! Review: This was my first DL novel ever, picked it up in a store that had a going out of buisness sale, so i wasn't able to get the first one, Ever since i haven't been able to stop reading DL! This was great, it hooked my interest in the first paragraph and wouldn't let me put the book down until i had finished it. Although its not the first in the chronicle series its gives a strong introduction of raistlin and caramon, tas and the others, without boring you or going into to much detail. This is what DL is all about!
