Summary: Excellent introduction to Warcraft III
Review: When I purchased Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos well over a year ago, Future Shop included many free items with the game, including this book. At first I thought the book was going to be really cheesy and lame, but I decided to start reading it one night anyways.I was very impressed with the book. Right from the get-go, there is a great story. Any fan of the Warcraft series will be able to relate to the book, and even those who aren't should be able to to pick it up and understand what's going on. Obviously, someone who hasn't played the game won't be familiar with all the names and characters mentioned, but you don't need to have a firm grasp on the Warcraft storyline to appreciate the actual book. I agree with most of the other reviews saying that the book is rather predictable, but it's predictable in a good way, I found. You don't feel bored reading it. You have a sense of knowing what will happen, but you still enjoy reading it when it does. The thing I enjoyed most about the book was the way it explains the transition from Warcraft II to Warcraft III. It perfectly explains the events leading up to Warcraft III. After reading this book and thoroughly enjoying it, I decided to pick up the other two books from the series. I didn't enjoy either one as much as this one, but that's not to say they were bad. Unlike the other two, this book fits right into the game's storyline. I think that's why I enjoyed Lord of the Clans much more than the other two. Conversely, some people may in fact enjoy the other two more because of this, since they are more independent, not relying on the game's story to form their own plots. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of the Warcraft games, and even encourage reading it before playing Warcraft III, since it gives great depth into Thrall's character in the game.

Summary: An excellently written book.
Review: Whether you liked Warcraft the game or not, this is a good book. Written about the future lord of the Hoard who starts out as a slave to a cruel/power-hungry human, you almost watch him grow up before your eyes from a lowly peon to the 8'10 x 5 foot brute you see there on the cover.
