Rating: Summary: AN interesting Outlook. Review: Although I have not read Exile or Sojourn I have read Homeland, and thought that it was one of the strangest books that I have ever read. Salvatores gripping battle narration kept me reading for hours and made me want to follow the life of Drizzt Do'urden in more detail, this is a great book and well worth a read.
Rating: Summary: Reading does'nt get any better than this. Review: I have been an avid Salvatore reader for quite some time and have nearly every book published. All the caracters come to life in a spellbinding tale of intrige and mystry.Salvatore transports his readers into the worlds that he creates allowing us to escape for a while to someplace we wold never have the chance to obtain on our own.Salvatore has what it takes to be put on the same fotting as tolken,mabe just obove him. To understand tis book I feel that you should read the whole series about DRIZZT.
Rating: Summary: Salvatore gets back on track and finishes strong Review: Given how impressed I was with Salvatore's first installment in the Dark Elf Trilogy, Homeland, and how disappointed I was with Exile, Book two of the series, I didn't quite know what to expect when I began reading Sojourn. I am pleased to say that while Salvatore wasn't able to immerse me in his world of fantasy as completely as he did in Homeland, he was able to get the bad taste of Exile out of my mouth with this final installment in his wildly popular trilogy detailing the early, formative years of the Forgotten Realms' most famous drow elf, Drizzt. By removing Drizzt from the Underdark, and his close proximity to the fascinating drow city Menzoberranzan, and depositing him on the surface world, Salvatore was able to abate (somewhat) my yearning for the focus of the storyline to return to the city of the drow (with which I am admittedly enamoured). Drizzt continues his do-gooder ways on the surface as he once again tries to find a niche. The misunderstood drow is faced with adversity and rejection at every turn as he tries to prove that he is not like his devious and murderous kin. Drizzt's resolve and faith are sorely tested as false accusations are leveled against him and he is relentlessly pursued by a brutal, revenge-driven human bounty hunter. Only by adhering to the tenents of the Ranger and keeping faith in the goddess Mielikki will Drizzt be able to survive and prove his worth on the surface.
Rating: Summary: The Light in the Dark. Review: Drizz't Do Urden's Dark past that he survived to be the walker of the light that he is. A good read.
Rating: Summary: This book was great! Review: This book was definitely better than the others even though the others were great also. The whole trilogy was probably the best series of books I have ever read. Yet this one was definitely the best. I learned about this trilogy from a friend who wanted me to read and I got hooked on them in a second. I am now on the Icewind Dale Trilogy which is as well awesome. I think I am gonna read all the Forgotten Realms I can.
Rating: Summary: Excellent book. A must read. Review: A book you won't want to put down
Rating: Summary: A work of art. Excellent. Review: I have been following R.A. Salvatore's books for quite some time, and there isn't one that I haven't liked. The Dark Elf Trilogy being the same. An excellent trilogy based on the trials and tribulations of Drizzt Do'Urden's life. His growing up in Menzoberranzan, his friends, etc. A must have for anyone who enjoys R.A. Salvatore's work or the Forgotten Realms fantasy books.
Rating: Summary: Drizzt is good, but the rest of the series can go further. Review: R.A. Salvatore's Dark Elf Trilogy is a fairly entertaining piece of work. Albiet, the tale of a man torn by conscience and a sense of morality in the midst of a cruel society sings a very familiar tune. Elric of Melnibone, the albino emperor from Michael Moorcock, brought the same theme with him for example. In fact, Melnibonean society and the Underdark are very similar environments.To Salvatore's credit however, he did craft well made fighting scences and a very loveable character in Drizzt. Indeed, most of Salvatore's readers feel a sense of empathy with the drow, and that speaks well for the progress of the fantasy genre. Whereas Elric is a brooding and dark character, Dizzt feeds off an inner sense of optimism. This perhaps, is what distinguishes the two. Drizzt is AWARE of his mission for "good," however relative that term may be. While Elric constantly reminds himself of his place as both pawn and protagonist in some cosmic game of chess. All in all, the Dark Elf Trilogy will please most readers of fantasy. If you can overlook minor mishaps, like lousey names and relatively stale minor characters,the world of a young Drizzt Do'Urden offers little in terms of disappointment.
Rating: Summary: Inspiring Review: I've been a fan of R.A. Salvatore's work for a long time now. I started with The Crimson Shard and I can tell you that the character Drizzt has evolved considerably with each novel. I was always inspired after reading about Drizzt's adventures. To me, THAT'S what reading is all about. Kudos to R.A. Salvatore.
Rating: Summary: Very exciting series for all to read! Review: During my course of reading Homeland, I often find myself as Drizzt playing the character. How different is this plot then and now (of course without the ugly monsters)? I was to believe when growing up is to discover your true self, not by enforcing something to you by others. Yes, we do look up to our parents, brothers or sisters, friends, and relatives for guidance. Ulitmately in the end it's up to you and you alone. So, enjoy the book, because I can honestly say "I did!"
