Summary: The Same Old
Review: As most Drizzt novels, this book was well written, but there were several flaws. This book seemed to have just too much fighting and not enough intrigue. The entire book is frost giant after orc, and not enough depth. However, I still recommend the book even though I think it is not as well done as his previous for Drizzt series.

Summary: He has done it again!!
Review: Salvatore has done it again. I am itchin' to get the next novel in this series. It has all the Drizzt action as the others, and more. From the first page to the last, you won't be able to put it down. I had to read it all in one night.This book carries the back stories of Cattie-brie and Drizzt, and Wulfgar and whats-her-name :D It really is a must read for all the Salvatore fans out there.

Summary: Incredible
Review: I read it over Christmas time and have to say that this is the best out of all in the Drizzt Do'Urden books. I have them all so I say this with a lot of knowledge. It kept me riveted from the first page and I found it very hard to put down. I would actually say he took everything to a new level with the characters and the fight scenes were terrific. I would love to describe more but I would just take away from the book. I can and will say it was totally INCREDIBLE and I am on the edge of my seat waiting for the follow up.

Summary: Worth Reading
Review: This, like all of RA Salvatores books, it well written. It is a bit tedious at the start, mostly for the benefit of new readers with paragraphs of explanation of previous events but once you're past all that it is a great book that pulls you along. In this book the charachters, Drizzt, Cati-Brie, Wulfgar, Burenor, and Regis are all facing things. Drizzt is being Drizzt and fighting to protect others, he is again and again reminded of why he left his birthplace. Cati-Brie is faced with the fact that she is mortal, and it terrifies her. Wulfgar is dealing with life, wife and kid. Bruenor is heading home, to Mithril Hall to again be King and is searching for a last Hurrah. And Regis is trying to make himself useful, he's always reminded that if he didnt have such powerful friends he would be dead and he's trying to pay them back in his own little ways.
And ontop of each's inner battles is the threat of a thousand Orcs (hint hint the title) and a clan of Giants are running wild in the Spine of the World just as Bruenor (looking for an adventure) is going home. There is some political intrigue, a few guest appearances, and plenty of fighting to sate your appetite.
I recomend this book, its exciting and just continuing Salvatores long list of good reads.

Summary: A New Epoch
Review: This book is an excellent example of the skill of author R. A. Salvatore. Not only this book, but all his books which I've read have several things in common. Given that, here's what a Salvatore novel entails: He is known for being a great author, especially of fantasy. He's especially well-known for the many novels centering around Drizzt and company, and for the novels set in his world of Corona. The Thousand Orcs falls into the former category, dealing with the latest from Drizzt and his companions. His battle scenes are vivid, but not so weighty as to take away from the story. The characters are realistic and intrigueing, and the "action" in any given part of one of Salvatore's books might be a battle, political subterfuge, a character's emotional conflicts--in short, Salvatore isn't limited to skillful portrayel of battle. He can, and does, include a variety of gripping situations in his works. The Thousand Orcs is no exception, boasting all three of those things and more. If you're a Salvatore fan, I shouldn't need to tell you to buy this, because you've probably already got it on your wish list. If you aren't, this book is as good a place as any to get started!

Summary: READ IT!
Review: This was the first book of Salvatores i've ever read, and i must say that i'm very impressed! The book makes references to earlier Drizzt books, and the adventures that took place, so i would suggest that you read those first. This book was definatly a great read! The whole book is action packed, and although this isnt the first time you meet the characters, you really get a feel for who they are and develope a great liking for all of them. I suggest you buy this book, and all the other books of Salvatores with Drizzt and friends!!!

Summary: nearly back to greatness
Review: In this book, Salvatore gets back to what made him my favorite author. This book is fast paced, keeps you guessing, and makes readers want to come back for the next book in the series. Previous books in the series started to get a little slow. Its always a bad sign when a character is brought back from the dead. But now things are back to normal. Give Salvatore another chance.

Summary: And the hits keep on coming......
Review: This is the best in long while for the Icewind Dale crew. If you are a true fan of the series you can appreciate the excellent read this book will provide. It is quick to the action, fast with the plot and all around a page turner. If you enjoyed the Icewind Dale trilogy you will enjoy this book. All of the gang are back together and in full force and of course your favorite Drow is leading the charge. Many people say that the characters lack depth and Believability but to them I say.....uh why read fantasy if you want real life. Too many authors today feel that in order to represent their characters in a "real" way they have to kill off a few of the major characters, Salvatore realizes that it is these unbelievable characters that keep us coming back for more. I for one will only stop reading the Drizzt books when he stops writing them. I am drooling for the next book. If he can suck me back in to the story with his patented fight scenes and plot twists he can bring in the newest of fans. The only thing that I feel was missing in this book was an enemy worthy of our Hero's skill. Really since Artiemis there have been few who demand the attention and scorn of the readers. I give it a thumbs up and will continue to wait impatiently for the next installment. To those of you who want reality........watch the news!!

Summary: Fresh454
Review: I have read this book, taking it in, in just a day and a half-I could not put it down! I have just recently been introduced to this author and look forward to reading more of his works. I am grateful that the author treats the reader as an intelligent person and not a sci-fi/fantasy drone that would swallow any bit of scribbling. I enjoyed seeing the main characters thrown into introspection, questioning the paths before them and learning what the paths behind had taught them. The action was great and the battles descriptive enough to place you in the midst of things. I can't wait for Book 2 of the series to be released--it should be very entertaining.
