Summary: Meet the Hunter
Review: "Exile" takes place a few years after "Homeland". Drizzt has escaped the terrible world of the Dark Elves to find a life of his own. He is trapped in the endless tunnels of the Underdark, where you Hunt, or be hunted. This terrible world has made Drizzt into what Salvatore calls "The Hunter". It is in "Exile" that we meet a much different Drizzt. One that is vicious and takes no mercy. That is until he meets some unlikely friends. This is a great book, but more of just a small tie together book for the first and third great installments of the trillogy. Not as good as the others.

Summary: Book part of best series ever!
Review: ... Talk about a fantastic book continuing the quest of Drizzt. I have read this book twice and will do so again much like the others in this series. The fighting is flawless and never equalled in any other novel I have read...(sorry dragonlance) The only problem I have is the guy who is hunting down Drizzt. It would have been a bit better if it had been a new character. But a great hunt all the while! ... buy this trilogy!

Summary: Fabulous
Review: "Exile" is the second book in "The Dark Elf Trilogy" and is even better than book one of the series. This novel is more riveting than book one as there is much more action; many more characters, likeable ones and villains; and Drizzt only gets better as a character here. The pages just fly by in this remarkable novel and before you know it you'll be done with it. "Exile" happily kept me turning pages due to many things. Here are some of the reasons why. The plot of this book picks up right where book one ended. As the title of this book suggests, Drizzt Do'Urden is in exile from his home of Menzoberranzan. He is now a drifter in the underworld and is living a life of adventure. Meanwhile, back in Menzoberranzan, his mother, Matron Malice, is being told that the Spider Queen Lloth wants Drizzt sacrificed. She sends out a ghost (I won't tell you who) to hunt him down. Back in the wild of the Underworld Drizzt befriends the gnome race and becomes a good friend of the gnome Belwar. Belwar and Drizzt travel through the Underworld through many adventures to get from the Spider Queen. This action packed and fast moving plot make this novel one to be savored. In book one Drizzt Do'Urden is established as one of fantasy's best characters. Through Drizzt's many adventures here we see Drizzt grow and grow to be a mature, well rounded Drow, unlike his kin. Belwar makes a great companion to Drizzt in this novel, and while not as good of a character as someone like Sam Gamgee of "The Lord of the Rings,"he is still well developed on very likeable. In "Homeland," the first book of this sensational trilogy, the gnomes are depicted as evil and vile creatures because they are seen from the point of view of the majority of the Drow. Since Drizzt is different from the other Drow we see the true side of the gnomes because he takes the chance to get to know them, leaving out all stereotypical thoughts. Drizzt's actions in this book are ones to learn from and how many people should behave. People don't need to be put down because of ethnicity or what not, but how they are as people. That is what Drizzt does here. Because of this R.A. Salvatore puts in this little tid bi on life, among many others which are too many to account here. People who have read book one of the trilogy should definitely read "Exile." I have found Exile to be a better read than book one due to the reasons above, which are just a few of the great things in this book. After you have read this book make sure that you have the third and final book of the trilogy on hand. Happy Reading!

Summary: Stumbling around in the dark was never so much fun!
Review: The sequel to one of the greatest books ever written (Homeland).
At first I went in expecting that nothing could compare to Homeland, I was pleasantly suprised. Drizzit, on the run from his family, struggles to survive in the Underdark. Battling vicious monsters and loneliness alike, Drizzit takes a desperate gamble by approaching the gnomes of the underdark (the biggest enemies of the drow in the Underdark) in an attempt to be accepted into their society. In the meantime, Drizzit's mother, Malice, must please the Spider Queen Lloth (also known as Loloth to almost every other race) with Drizzit's blood. Since no one in the underdark can match Drizzit's fighting prowess, Malice asks Lloth to re-animate the corpse of Drizzit's father, Zaknafein, the only person with the fighting skills to match Drizzit's. Drizzit, now, must not only contend with being homeless, but must also face the soulless abomination that was once his father and only moral anchor in the turmoil of the the drow city of Menzoberranzan. This book far from dissapoints if you found Homeland a book you couldn't put down.

Summary: In a place of Exile, Drizzt is king.
Review: After having my breath taken away reading Homeland I was quite excited to get started on the second novel in this brilliant series. Accepting the loss of his father Drizzt decides to leave his home. Stuck in the vast darkness of the wild Underdark Drizzt learns about himself, and learns to become the hunter. Drizzt spends ten years alone in the Underdark. Which is a great foreshadowing for the books after this. Drizzt learns to hone his skills as a fighter, and as a hunter. He becomes very primal, but it educates you on his character and you grow a strong bond with him. After many long years of being alone he discovers a group of Svirneblin (another race of the Underdark) and reunites with Belwar, whom you meet in the first book. Belwar tentitavely accepts Drizzt and they form quite a bond. You also meet Clacker, who was originally a pech (a humanoid creature that could converse with stone) and was transformed into a Hook Horror (a very large beetle looking creature with large pinchers) by a human wizard, and is forced to fight the pull of the evil creatures predatory instincts. The characters that Drizzt encounters in this book bring you to understand his psyche, and his development. It shows that Drizzt has outgrown much of his naitivity. This book is a delight to read, with many in-depth characters and wonderful fight scenes. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Not as good as Homeland, But still a good book.
Review: Ok so i was a little disappointed in the overall book. But...look at the book that it was following. Given that. Exile is an excellent book. A few new characters, a decent story line, and again uncanny fight scenes. Favorie character for this book...hehe, Drizzt the Hunter...That savage side of Drizzt hellbent on survival, almost a character in itself. Another book i highly recommend. You keep writing like this Mr.Salvatore and they'll want a hundred books in this series.

Summary: Continuing on a great theme...
Review: Like Homeland before it, Exile continues with the adventures of the drow elf, Drizzt Do'Urden. Drizzt has left his 'home' of Menzoberranzan, and has decided to live out his days in the endless caverns and tunnels of the wild underdark. Accompanied only by his magical panther companion, Drizzt takes on a fighting edge that is unsurpassed by any other. But with this edge comes a price - Loneliness. Drizzt finds it difficult to come to terms with his new existance, and seeeks out companionship. Drizzt finds acceptance with the most unlikely of people, but as seems to be the case with the beleagured drow, all must change and he must move on.

Summary: Not quite as good as Homeland but still very good
Review: While this book was a little more cliche than the first. It still was a very good book. Positives: Great ending, great fighting scenes Negatives: I wanted to see more of the D'orden family (which is why i like book one more) the characterization was a little poor. I was left not caring enough about some of the creatures in this book...good or bad.

Summary: Exile alone in the the wilds
Review: Drizzt Do'urden finds himself alone in the wilds of the underdark. Finaly free of his evil family but being alone for so longe is taking its toll. He is finding that he losing his own personality. He may have found his chance at salvation within the deep nome city. His family has diffrent ideas though and drizzt will face his greatest chalenge yet.
