[QUOTE="Numion, post: 1332477, member: 124"] Salvatore has his moments. He's defined much of the feel of Forgotten Realms for me - not the high-powered stuff of Elminster and company, but a harsh, unforgiving and sometimes racist land. But my feelings are minors as far as his achievements go. People claim his characters to be lifeless. I don't think so. His approach is that he tells very deeply about the inner feelings of his characters. If the characters are intresting, thats a good thing. And Salvatore has created some excellent villains. At best his style works very well for these kind of books. If the characters are dull (Wulfgar, anyone?), the result is a very boring book. Overally I am very happy about the better ones of his books. It's nice to know the inner feelings of the characters sometimes. LotR for example doesn't bother to tell much about the characters. Im not saying that it should, but most we know about Aragorn is that he's got long legs (from the description at the prancing pony). Whoop-ti-doo. Homeland trilogy is an excellent read IMO - from there it goes downhill (except for Silent Blade - that was good). Classic status? Probably not. EDIT: Just to start a DL vs. FR war, I'dd say that the Drizzt trilogy is much better than the DL one. Both series have had decreasing quality over the years, so it's a fair comparison. I'm hoping for a Tanis vs. Entreri match .. ;) [/QUOTE]
