Not necessarily the best the Realms have to offer, and not necessarily the best about Drow the Realms have to offer, but I can still enjoy the books. A lot. I don't care too much about character background there, Bob's combat descriptions rock!*Well, I read all the FR novels except Sacrifice of the Widow, which I'm reading at the moment. That's what you get from being a completionist.I never really got the urge to play a good drow ranger with two scimitars and a figurine of wondrous power, though. I did play some drow (and am playing one now), and even played one with two scimitars, but that one wasn't good, and he wasn't a ranger, either.About the hate: Part of it surely is people who just don't like the stories. But I think that's not nearly all: There's a lot of people who got annoyed at all those guys who wanted to play a Drizzt clone, and of course there's some people who just have to hate everything that is successful. The more successful it is, the more people like that appear.Discworld anyone? There's almost 40 discworld novels now, and I haven't grown tired of them yet.</blockquote>
