Summary: The Further Chronicles of Conan
Review: All of the tales included in this book were great. But, if you've read other books by Jordan this is all but expected. I would recomend this book to anyone who likes fantasy novels. I would also recommend any of the other books written by the Master.
Rating:
Summary: Very good but not as Good as Howard
Review: I just finished this book and I enjoyed very much, however if you are new to Conan stories I strongley suggest you start with the orginal Robert E. Howard books and then make your way to Jordans version. I think Jordon is the best one to take on Conan since Robert

Summary: Not bad, not great either.
Review: I read the first story of this collected trilogy and enjoyed it. The first story was "Conan the Magnificant." It was enjoyable. It was nothing special, but it was certainly a competent short story.I read halfway through the second story collected in this trilogy "Conan the triumphant", and quit. The reason why is because this story was falling into the same mold of the first one. A competent short fantasy story - but nothing more. Life is to short to spend just on competent short stories. I must move on to other books that will be more enjoyable for me druring my short time on Earth. One final note on the second story; halfway through the story I could easily tell how it was going to end up. All the plot devices and characters were in place. Reading the last 140 pages would just be witnessing the pieces falling into place to wind up the story. I will rate this book 3 stars out of 5. This does not achieve the minimum 4 star rating that in my opinion makes a book worthwhile to read. Skip it unless you like average short fantasy stories about Conan.

Summary: He's back (again)!
Review: Sure it's a reprint of old work, but who cares? Jordan does Conan justice and it's good to read (or re-read) them. Conan's been done by many others, but few as well as Jordan does. It's also nice to read something by him that doesn't take a program just to tell who the players are. It's a good read that you can afford to put down (if you can) and pick up again without re-reading the whole book to see where you were.

Summary: Just a compilation of existing books
Review: The three stories are excellent in themselves, however, I had already read them. What I really want is some new stories from "the greatest writer since Robert E. Howard to tell the stories of Conan the Barbarian." I am starving for them.

Summary: OVERALL SCORE: (A)
Review: This is a great read, it is a beautiful epic whose true force lies in the poignant details of its characters, richly detailed, woven into a wonderful tapestry.
This is one of the best fantasy series, the story is lively and entertaining, the characters are colorful and interesting, and the plot is energetic and spellbinding! The action scenes are much better than what you find in Robert Jordan "Wheel of Time" series, and much more manageable in scope. OVERALL SCORE: (A)
READABILITY: (A), PLOT: (B+), CHARATERS: (A), DIALOGUE: (B-), SETTING: (B+), ACTION/COMBAT: (B+), MONSTERS/ANTAGONISTS: (B+), ROMANCE: (B+), SEX: (Light/Moderate), AGE LEVEL: (PG13)

Summary: The best Conan author since Howard, these are great!
Review: Too bad these are reprints, and not new books by Jordan on Conan
