Summary of this Book... | ||
Drizzt Do`Urden makes an attempt to grow up in a world of darkness. But his heart is filled with ethical integrity. The first book of the outstanding trilogy illustrates how he grows up, and creates things that are always looked upon later. Truly, the first book to this trilogy will remain a classic. | ||
I especially liked... | ||
Drizzt. Drizzt is a believable character, and well-rounded. He completely contradicts the beliefs of his family and most everyone else around him. His family believes that power comes from being "dark", and it is often proven through their harsh actions. Yet Drizzt is an ethical drow elf, that is better than any other. What else can be said? | ||
I didn't like... | ||
Being the first book, Drizzt has no true companions that play a role beside him the entire time. He is constantly abandoned, and betrayed, creating my mind to go skeptical. I guess it helps develop his character though. | ||
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to... | ||
A friend had gotten me the box set trilogy. Thank God. Because the first thing I wanted to do was read more. | ||
This Book made me feel... | ||
It made me look at our own world in a certain perspective. Drizzt grows up in a world where integrity and ethics are commonly rejected. Although, we are not killed or sacrificed for our morals, they are often rejected. After reading the book, (actually the trilogy), I become more of a cynic, even though, to some extent I already am. | ||
I recommend this Book because... | ||
It's beyond exciting. If anything, read this book not for it's great literature caliber, but because Drizzt's life is his own. | ||
I don't recommend this Book because... | ||
A lot of people aren't into trilogies, or sagas, or stuff like that. In my opinion, I don't suggest reading the book, unless you're up to reading the entire thing. | ||
Further Comments... | ||
R.A. Salvatore is one of the greater authors of our generation. Other books like his Icewind Dale series cannot be taken for granted. Surely, Salvatore's vivid style of writing will live on throughout the days of the future. Best wishes, ~Mytch | ||
