Review: This book has it all excitement adventure, romance, everything that you would expect from the game. The characters are imagineative all the characters have an important role in the plot they all are what make the story a huge success for those who appereciate a good fanasy story but to apperciate the story you have to not have played the game beforehand.

Summary: Dim-witted, twisted, and disturbing...shall I go on?
Review: This book, which I expected to be a basic novelization of the game, was loosly based upon the BGII plot. The characters were dumbed-down, the romance plot was sickening, and the events were poorly connected. The whole point of the book seemed to be stuff as much gore and "romance" in as possible, who cares about plot! It was de-evolved to such a degree that the only things happening were what you would expect to see in a book from a 99 cent sale bin. Which is where you'll probably find it. My suggestion: go read Tolkien or Tamora Pierce if you wish to read some real fantasy.

Review: Wow, this book is really really badly written. Anyone who is a fan of the Baldur's Gate games (as I am) should stay away from this book because it is terrible. It bears almost no resemblance to the game or any of the characters in any way. The standard of writing is extremely low.
