Rating: Summary: Unbelievable! Review: R.A. Salvatore has touched my life, along with many others', with his books about Drizzt Do'Urden. The Dark Elf Trilogy is the most powerful literature I have ever read. R.A. Salvatore does not write about killing monsters. He writes about principles, self-knowledge, and prejudice. The journal entries of Drizzt Do'Urden which first appear in Homeland are so eloquent and deep that they leave the reader pondering them for quite some time. I take away something new from these books each time I read them, and I have read each of them many times. I cannot say enough about the writing of R.A. Salvatore. Read it!
Rating: Summary: Suspense filled, Awe inspiring, Impossible to put down. Review: This collection of novels by R.A. Salvatore is one of his best works. I've read it twice and I still have a hard time putting it down. Grab your copy and adventure Faerun with Drizzt Do'Urden. This collection of books details the life of Drizzt Do'Urden a drow elf of the Underdark of Faerun. It details his struggle of life with his people and his decision to venture further.
Rating: Summary: Excellent Series Review: These books were outstanding - I could not put them down. The characters are very believeable and lovable. Readers will enjoy these books and the ones that follow this series time and time again.
Rating: Summary: Its the best fantasy compliation ever. Review: While there is gore and violence, it is not the over-riding factor in the story of Drizzt. Heroic deeds and family bonds (although surogate) mainly contribute to the nature of a drow lengend.
Rating: Summary: A thought provoking book Review: As I read this book, I thought. In the previous two books, Homeland and Exile, Drizzt could defeat every enemy and got an occasional friend. He was nearly invulnerable. Here he faces prejudice, and with the prejudice he faces shame. His materials don't work. Everyone thinks he is evil. He starves for companionship, but he knows no one will except him. This book, above all, shows hardship in Drizzt, something difficult to find in a world where his scimitars rule. This book provides a better view of the road then do Streams of Silver and The Halflings Gem. It is more realistic, and makes this strange fantasy world believable. It is the best of all the Drizzt books.
Rating: Summary: If you love good fantasy, read this! Review: The "Dark Elf Trilogy" is some of the best fantasy writing I have read since J.R.R. Tolkin's "Lord of the Rings" series. Bob Salvatore brings to life and near reality characters and worlds like no other modern author has done in over two decades. For me, he has given his characters such depth and feeling that I truly watched the stories unfold as I turned the pages. If you love exellent fantasy and complexed story plots, I suggest "The Dark Elf Trilogy" as a modern classic which lives up to everything it was intended to be and far more.
Rating: Summary: Fantastic journey of an unusual hero Review: If you like fantasy, real good one, legends and if in addition, you are a roleplayer, read this book!Wonderfully woven story of a renegade hero like few ever potrayed in sci-fi books. Intelligent and original writing. Magical...
Rating: Summary: Classic, Unrivaled Fantasy Review: The first series of books in my extensive reading history that made me barricade myself in a room, with only a small lamp, my imagination, and Mr. Salvatore's wonderful character study for company. I think every tale-spinner has one great character to share with all of us, and Drizzt Do'Urden is Bob's. From Drizzt's trials in the Underdark to his triumphant surge to the surface, this trilogy is a MUST for fans of simply great, entertaining stories.
Rating: Summary: WOW! Thats all that describes The Dark Elf Trilogy! Review: I have read all three of these books, long before this omnibus edition came out, and was astounded that all three were going to be published in one hardcover volume. All's I can say is that R.A. Salvatore is a master of the genre, and these three books are his very best work, and to have them all in one book is really something else. Simply wonderful, all collectors must have this book!
Rating: Summary: EXCELLENT! Review: This was an excellent story line. I found myself not able to put the book down until I had read all 3. Then i went looking for all the sequels. And I have yet to find "Shores of Dusk". But otherwise, Salvatore brings Drizzt to life. You live evrything he lives. You find yourself dodging the sword swings right along with him. This series gets two thumbs up from me.
