    This really goes over five stars if there was a choice!

    Yes, it is sort of slow at first, but there is something in the book that makes you keep reading, and when you get to page 75 or so you cannot put it down! By page 200 it was straight to my top 10 list(maybe even 5). There is a little bit of love, extreme action, supense, danger, and twists and turns here and there. That silly kender Tasslehoff tips it off with humor. Slowly it builds up from some friends meeting to them fighting a Dragon Highlord! If you like swords, magic, love, humor, action, adventure, dragons and walking warrior skeletons, BUY THIS BOOK(at the very least read it)! I CAN GARANTEE YOU WILL NOT REGRET YOUR CHOICE!!!!! But all in all this book is undescribably one of the best books ever written.

    Not worth the hype

    There's been so much hoo-haw about Dragonlance recently, that I figured I'd finally grab a copy and see what the fuss is about.

    Now, granted, the very first book written was probably not the *best* choice, seeing as the authors were just getting themselves wrapped around the novelization of a D&D adventure, but it was the start of the saga, so it did seem like the right place to begin.

    But the book has trouble. It's got way too many characters in it to be anything more than a plot-driven story, and the themes of the characters in the story never get explored as fully as they ought. There are sections describing underground exploration where lots of words are wasted describing the length of corridors. It feels like it's struggling with the question of whether its audience is adult or not.

    The end result is a book that probably really appealed to 13-year-olds back in the early 80s. Today? There are many many more well-written books for 13-year-olds, and it's not all that great a journey for adults in any era. I did want to see how the book ended, so it was better than something needing only to be tossed out, but its companions will suffer at the bottom of my book pile for quite a while, as I pursue other, better written books.

    One of my favorites after 17 yrs...

    Seventeen yrs ago I read this book as a sr. in high school. Since then I've read countless fantasy books and still consider this series to be one of the top 3. My opinion, this series deserves to be mentioned in the same class as LOTR. Lately many of the fantasy books I've read seem to be lacking, I decided to re-read this series as was not disappointed.

    Great story.

    Easy to love the characters and want to get to know them better. Easy to get lost in the story.

    Fatastic

    I really loved this book and am enjoying the journey through this series. Finished the first 3 and am not on 'Timebofnthe Twins." If you enjoy well plotted and written fantasy, this book is perfect for you.

    Dissappointed and bored; predictable and no character development

    I am a huge fantasy fan. I love the Death Gate Cycle by these authors. That said, I was bored with this book and will not be finishing the series. There is 0 character development in the book. The way the characters are described on the cover page is how they are at the very last page. The book is not one central plot line but a series of adventures. It reads like a D&D game, not an ongoing story. Formula - setup, decision, action, climax, resolution. Over and over again. The characters were whiny and predictable and nothing caught my interest.

    Books I like: Wheel of Time Series, Death Gate Cycle, Mercy Thompson series, Mistborn Trilogy
    Books I dislike: This one, Sword of Shannara series, Chosen series

    A good quick read.

    The characters are well built and the world is interesting. There are references to adventures had by the main characters that are not included in the books; that can be distracting but overall, this series is a good get-away read.

    This book is filled with excitment and wont fail u like most long books do with there streched out climaxs. This book has more than one climax and as the first one is reolved up starts the next. It is full of fantasy any fantasy lover would enjoy!

    Team Raistlin!

    I love these books. I havent ben able to put these down. I love the characters especially Raistlin... I dont know why, possibly because he's different and everyine thinks he's dark and creepy, in truth he is but I can relate to that.

    Fantastic adventure!

    I had to read this book years ago for summer reading, and I'm so glad I did! There are many similarities to LOTR but only in basic ways. After reading most of this series I can confidently say this story and these characters stand on their own. I whole-heartedly recommend this to anyone who loves adventure young and old!
