Summary: A book that starts up quick and doesn't stop!
Review: Picking up this book, to introduce me into the characters of the world of Krynn, I found myself wrapped up in the book and could not stop. Weis and Hickman take you on a wild ride with wizards and warriors, elves and dwarves and of course, the curious kender. Long time friends and the appearance of a mystical staff, bring the our companions into the scene, ready to fight whatever battles await them. Though all have come from different backgrounds, they are bound together by their many differences with their own cultures. I highly recommend the book because by reading, you will find that it relates to this world with all its prejudices and myths and stereotypes that are proven to be true or untrue as the case may be

Summary: "A very interesting tale, one worth following up on"
Review: Dragons of Autumn Twilight was the first in a series of books written by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. It set off the Dragonlance Chronicles Trilogy very well. It was such a success that in no time at all there were about 15 supporting novels produced by TSR Hobbies, just to keep up with the demand for more tales dealing with the companions. My personal favorite character is Tasslehoff Burrfoot, the irrepressible Kender. It seems that all of the novels were well thought out, and my hats off to those at TSR and especially to Margaret and Tracy. Well Done.
Sincerely,
Michael Harris

Summary: Awesome book! Incredible step in fantasy writing!
Review: Great book!!! I was hooked from the very first page! Anyone who likes fantasy should read this! All three books are wonderful. The story line flows smoothly, the characters are real, and the action is just enough to keep you wondering, "What's going to happen next?" I've read it over and over and have never gotten bored! A must for your personal library! Once you read the first chapter, you'll want to read the entire series

Summary: The first book in a great fantasy trilogy.
Review:
Dragons of Autumn Twilight is an action packed fantasy novel
that is worth reading over and over. I have read the book
five times myself. Dragons of Autumn Twilight is the first
book Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman (the famous, best-
selling, fantasy writing duo) ever wrote together, and it
is magnificent.
This book (and this trilogy) is the greatest fantasy written since J.R.R Tolkien penned "The Lord of the Rings".

Summary: Dragons of Autumn Twilight - a classic masterpiece!
Review: Dragons of Autumn Twilight is a true fantasy classic masterpiece! It is one of best books I've ever read, and I truly cherish it! Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman are two of the best authors of all time! The way they write, you'd think there really was a Krynn and that you'd been there before! The characters are so detailed, you'd think you knew each of them intimately and had shared in all of their adventures! This is not a book to pass by. I think it should be read in schools all across the world - it's sure a lot more enjoyable then reading Lord of the Flies

Summary: good fantasy novel
Review: If you look at this book, then you might believe what you have in you're hands is a Lord of The Rings rip off. After all, it contains dwarves, elves, all of the essential things. Well, you would be wrong. Dragons of Autumn Twilight, the first of three begins with lifelong friends meeting in a bar within their home town, but their quiet evening of reminiscing is interrupted by 2 mysterious wanderers called Riverwind and Goldmoon. Goldmoon saves a man's life with a mysterious rod, after the man falls into a fire. As it turns out, goblins are after the rod for reasons unknown, so after saving the man's life, she gathers together Tanis, Sturm, Raistlin, Caramon, Flint, and Tasselhoff to help her escape the town before she is Goldmoon and Riverwind are both killed. Upon escaping the city, the group is in danger, as now they are being followed by the goblins. They venture across the land of Krynn, until they reach a forest in which Raistlin unleashes his powerful magic. By the end of the first book[ the book is divided into 3 parts] much has happened. When book two begins, they open a slave caravan, and release many prisoners. They then go to a castle where a great battle begins, and one of the prisoners they released from the slave caravan by the name of Fizban dies. I don't remember everything that happened in tis book, as I read it about 2 years ago, but I do remember that there is an extremely gory part in which Riverwind is severely injured. This is a wonderful book, and I advise you to read it now.

Summary: Want some good fantasy? Read something else.
Review: With the popularity of Dragonlance, I figured that it would be pretty good. Oh how I was wrong. I literally forced myself to finish it. (Anything is better than homework) It could have been a good story, but it was very poorly written. The character viewpoints flickered about constantly, sometimes in the same paragraph, which bothered me to no end. There were some technical errors that made me cringe, like the repetative use of 'thee is' by the centaurs. It is THOU ART dammit! I think that really turned me off from the book. I disliked the vast majority of characters, except for Raistlin, who was actually somewhat intriguing. For the most part, they seemed shallow and underdeveloped. Overall, the entire story felt manufactured instead of written. I reccommend this book for kids in grades 5 through 8. For that age group, it is a perfectly satisfying fantasy adventure. Otherwise, it's not worth the money.
