Summary: Amazing fantasy series!! Long live Drizzt!
Review: I was told this was a good book so I bought it and I must say I WAS IMPRESSED! Drizzt and Gwenwhyvar quickly became by far my favorite fantasy characters, it`s also changed all my views on AD&D (rangers, dark elves , gods, etc..) Great book! Great series! Great author!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Dark Elf Trilogy is a true masterpiece!
Review: As an avid reader of Sci-Fi/Fantasy, and a long-time fan of such authors as Tolkien, Bova, and LeGuin, you can well imagine my initial reaction when a friend recommended these books to me. The role-playing section of my local bookstore wasn't one I was in the habit of visiting (even though I did play Dungeons & Dragons as a teen). I always assumed that the TSR books were nothing more than pulp, not worthy of a second glance.

Boy, was I wrong. Salvatore effectively uses TSR's Forgotten Realms world as a backdrop for a story that is as unique as it is readable. He creates a society whose members thrive on evil, and breathes life into his creation like a dark god. If you've ever played D&D, and want to know exactly what the term "Lawful Evil" means, look no further for an explanation. Salvatore's antagonist characters are truly despicable, and lend a great deal to the Drow society's plausibility.

Throughout the series, Salvatore brings to light many social and moral issues that easily translate to real life, while keeping the pace of the read fast with breath-taking swordplay and action scenes that will have you running around your kitchen with a broom handle (assuming you don't have a scimitar lying about...).

All in all, a HIGHLY recommended read for anyone who enjoys the fantasy genre.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantasy-tastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Have just re-read The Dark Elf Trilogy for what must be the 20th time and I am, as ever, amazed by how fantasy can be used in such a spell-binding way to deliver messages relevant to todays society.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: How Great is this series?
Review: R.A. Salvatore is by far the best writer of all the Forgoten Realms writers! This series is one of the best and most interesting sets I have ever read. Salvatore ties each book together from Homeland to Sojourn, tightly and neatly it is just amazing. Drizzt's trials begin as a youth and follow him through the academy, his morals and integrity severly tested the whole way in Homeland. The "Hunter" in Exile is one of Drizzt's best written roles he struggles to become and stay an elf while fighting the underdark's worst ememies, and what courage he showed to approach Belwars people.Exile is the best of the three books that make up this series. In Sojurn Drizzt is tested and finally accepted by diffrent people but I found it sad the way even when it was obvious that he was trying to help, people still chose to reject him. The story is a good one I think that it may have moved a little quick on his journey to Ice Wind Dale. If you get a chance read the Ice Wind Dale Trilogy first it sets a better story for Drizzt, also you won't be turned off by the dark story lines produced by the Drow, they are kind of heavy,

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Also A Star
Review: As I read throw the reviews of other readers I discovered a Fact About the dark elf trilogy, you can not put the book down and as You stay up all night. one has to admit the briliance of Salvatore. I think his books must be banned for they tend to keep his readers up all night. As it did me. Sincerly thought I do hope that we will read more of Drizzt's adventures And why not for he has the life span long enough to make more of those sleepless nights adventures. I hail Salvatore and wish him good fortune with his life.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Superb in every way.
Review: Magnificently written. Wonderful characters and a ruthless writing style made this book one I couldn't put down. Salvatore's style and characterization were masterful. well worth the price to ANY avid fantasy reader.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Realms of the Underdark, a place for the dark at heart.
Review: The Dark Elf Trilogy is by far the best series that Forgotten Realms has ever released. R.A. Salvatore really has a way of expressing the obvious and unleashing the unknown in a manner to not be forgotten.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great End, and a Great Beginning
Review: The surface is no place for a drow, all except the the hero Drizzt. Prejudging and fear was what he got but his courage was his strengh. This book in some ways can show how real life prejudism exists and the strength of courage and others can help. Another great book. Just to warn you, if you read this, you better have The Crystal Shard because you are gonna wanna pick it up right away.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Pinnacle of Fantasy
Review: This book is the deffinition of Fantasy as a genre. All the wonder and excitment, all the adventure and scenery, all the characters and dialogue that makes Fantasy so enticing to readers is written at its peak. To write Fantasy means to capture that part of human nature that involves the unyielding spirit, the unquenched desire to explore, to go forth and see what lies just beyond the horizon. No book captures that more than Sojourn. No book probably ever will.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An emotional, touching, thought provoking, and good book.
Review: It displays how a person with enough determination and perseverance can overcome prejudice, hostility, and violence without using his scimitars. It also says how some people can be blinded by hate(a.k.a. Roddy McGristle). It is a well written novel with a great story and intriguing characters.
