Summary: A book to stand on its own
Review: If your a longtime reader of R. A. Salvatore and you've followed the life of Drizzt then this is the next step in your existance.

I'd have to agree with Salvatore, though, that its time to give Drizzt and his group a rest. They've lived life, they've run through adventures that would kill any other person (and has even brought people back from the Abyss!). Come on, stop telling Salvatore to make Drizzt work harder. He deserves to retire.

But...

The book is not nearly as great as The Dark Elf Trilogy, but starts a great tale that can lead to more great adventures. Your old friends are back, along with some doo dads. Oi oi!

Salvatore spends some time with the Orcish perspective, and follows the story of many different races with all their own preceived notions of the world.

I'll let you read it for yourself and decide, but I believe its a great addition to my library. I'd give this book 4 stars, except for that fact that I want to read the next book now. :) If it can draw me back into Drizzt world then that's worth another star.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Totally awesome
Review: Wow. It is safe to say that this book has the most action I have ever read in a book. I read a couple chapters the first night I bought the book. I was so into the action packed story that I read the rest of the novel the next night! That is around 300 pages. It had the perfect mix of action, romance, and comedy.
I've known about R.A. Salvatore's fantasy novels for some time but I never really took the time to pick one up and read it. This was the first novel by Salvatore that I read and it was amazing. I dont really like to read and therefore I dont read often but after reading this novel, I am definately going to buy the second and final books of the trilogy. Three thumbs up from me... if it was possible.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Best Book I've ever read!!
Review: This book has ACTION!!! in the first couple of paragraphs, its extremly interesting, and it keeps you on the edge of your seat. The characters are AWESOME!!!. This was my very first Forgotten Realms title and now Im hooked. The Author didn't bore me with exstensive descriptions of a person, place, or thing. It got straight to the point and kept me reading. I can hardly wait to read the sequel. #1 Author....R.A. Salvatore.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not really all that
Review: I hate to say it, but the tales of grief and woe faced by these companions is getting old. I think that Salvatore is beating a dead horse in continuing this saga. His writing in this book lacks the spark and imagination of previous works and its storyline is at times dull and predictable. While the reuniting of the band is an important event, the fact that many of the difficulties brought about in the books between the Legacy of the Drow and this book continue to plague the adventurers. I fear that these stories will end up at the bottom of the scrap heap unless some absolutely new and fresh character development occurs. Until then, I suggest continuing to buy these, but don't be surprised when they stop being interesting.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Again a great one
Review: This book is great. I recommend any and all fantasy lovers to get this book and read it. Everytime he releases another book in this series I buy it, and he has never let me down... This one lives up to the oters with action and rich characters. In the continuing saga Drizzt and the companions get a deep look inside and with breathtaking action scenes this one will never let you down.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing
Review: This is an amazing book that follows the exploits of drizzt Do Urden and his group of fellow adventurers. The writing is spectacular.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Perfection
Review: My only issue with these damn books is when will the author get Drizzt and Cattie together other than with the hand holding and hugs. Grr! I read this book in four hours and loved every word!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: AVERAGE AT BEST
Review: RA Salvatore's THE THOUSAND ORCS is a fairly average piece of fantasy. It is obviously a continuation of a story that has been proceeding for some time and over many volumes. Not having read any the preceding novels I will have to say I found myself a bit lost for background at times, not unexpected.

However given that it is usually much better to have read the prequels I would like to evaluate the work I did.

Average. The writing was up to contemporary standards but thas about it. Character development somewhat on the skimpy side but adequate. Plot, eh, so so.

Its not a dog by any means but it won't win any awards either.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very Go0od
Review: The Thousand Orcs, i thought was a great book even though there was alot of twists and turns throughout the story. Overall i think that everyone in my opinion should read one R.A. Salvatores at one time in their lives
