Summary: Another great Rickard Knaak book
Review: I was very hesitant to buy a book based on a video game (even a great one), since that seems a little too exploitative for me, but once I saw this author's name on the cover I gave it a shot. I was very happy with this book. As usual Knaak weaves a world of wonder where I care about the characters and the action is entertaining. In case you don't know this guy, he wrote "The Legend of Huma" among other things.

Sorry I can't provide more details, I read this book about a year ago, but I fully plan on reading it again in another year.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Must read for a Warcraft fan
Review: It may make you a little lost in the first one third of the book, but it turns out really really nice plot. Can't miss it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wow!!!
Review: It's been 3 years since I played the game and when I saw it at the store I was a tade skeptical. However when I read it I remember why I used to play the mage its all here, from elves to orcs and from Paladins to Goblins. A totally enjoyable read.

Summary: I loved this book
Review: It's been awhile since I've read this book but it's still fresh in my mind. I remember all the great battles and many of the little things that one would pick up throughout the novel. I've read a few of Knaak's other books and this is definitely up to par with those. There are a couple of things that you would have had to play the game to understand but overall most of the story is new to Warcraft. For those of you that don't know, Warcraft is a role playing game for the PC. It takes place in a fantasy world of men, wizards, elves, and dwarves.
The book kept me reading to the end. Everyday I would bring it to class and every chance I got I would read it. I just couldn't put this book down. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a good fantasy novel. If you've played the game then you should definitely read this book. It expands on everything that was built up in the game and even makes up some new stuff as well. I guarantee that as soon as you get a couple chapters into this book you will not want to put it down.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WarCraft: Day of the Dragon
Review: This has to be one of the best novels I've read in the long time. As far as fantasy novels go, it is easily the equal to The Hobbit and the DragonLance Series. Thats not surprising considering Knaak has written books for the DragonLance series. Warcraft: Day of the Dragon captures the World of Azeroth from the game but at the same time tells its own original story based on facts and details from the game. Although you do not have had to play the game before to understand it, it has a few minor details that only people who have played the game, or at least read the instruction manual, would understand. The plot is long and unwinding keeing you on the edge of your seat until the end. I am definitely lookinf forward to the next book in the series.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not the best, but a satisfactory book nonetheless
Review: This is a great book, but it's not the best though. Although it talks about a lot of Warcraft in general (which is great), I wish there was more action. True, there was some great action that was seen in a few fights, but I wanted more. However, Richard Knaak did a great job describing the events and characters, giving the characters their own persona and making them stand out, including the orcs as well.

Give this book a try when you can!

Summary: Not quite what I expected but yet more than I expected...
Review: WarCraft #1 is a great book on my terms. It wasn't quite what I expected in that it wasn't based on any of the missions of the game like the book StarCtaft. It was also more than I expected because the story line and the novel it self is written to the max. It was great!
