Summary: This Book Was Terrible!
Comment: I love Drizzit's books but this was horrible. It's only about a drunken hagard Wulfgar! Were is Drizzit and the rest of the gang! What about the Christal Shard and Jarxale come on. I like Salvatore but he can do better than this

Summary: Worst fantasy book ever
Comment: Look how the mighty have fallen... R.A. Salvatore had great success with the original Crystal Shard trilogy, and after that, he decided to shamelessly exploit his characters for commercial gain. The first ones were still good, and amazingly, the couple of books that followed were not bad at all. However, the quality has been declining steadily, as Salvatore was running out of ideas, and just wrote on, and on, and on... just like a certain Edgar Rice Burroughs with his endless books about Tarzan.
This book is the weeakest of them all, and it shows that Salvatore should just give up writing, once and for all. There are two plotlines here: one is a sappy romance novel, so terrible in execution that any writer of housewife literature (fortunately, I can't name any) would be proud. The second one is written, I'm guessing, to keep the men interested, but fails at that as well. The pages that deal with second storyline are filled with detailed, disgusting descriptions of various tortures. Salvatore seems to be enjoying churning out pages after pages of different tortures inflicted on Wulfgar and everybody else, and it's not entertaining in the least - it's just disgusting.
If you enjoyed the certain movie called 'Gigli', which attempted the same - to appeal to both males and females, and also failed, then this book is for you. If, however, you are a sane person, then run away from this crap!

Summary: shaun's review of the spine of the world

Shaun's review of the spine of the world: an awesome book!
"A drow off guard is a drow murdered in Menzeranzan, and thus few are the times when dark elves engage in exotic weeds or drinks that dull the senses." R.A. Salvatore's purpose in writing the spine of the world is to distract the reader from his daily troubles and bring them to a fantasy land where anything can happen. He achieves his perpose well with his setting in an unknown area of the world, his witches, warlocks, barbarians, trolls, demons, merchants, and pirates. He also achieves this well with his action filled plot and his cultured language. This book is a very surprising book filled with many mythical creatures, magical weapons, and barbarian brawls.
In this book Morick the rouge and Woulfgar the barbarian go threw the mythical land of Menzerranzan dominating any one in their path. They arrive in Luskan a major port city in the land of Menzerranzan. Woulfgar gets a job as a bouncer at Arumn's tavern in the heart of the worst part of town. Where he regulates fights and throws the men on the street face first if he has to. The book also tells about the king of Aukney's love for a peasant girl named Meralda who is in love with a peasant boy named Jaka. She dose not love the king but he can help her dying mother. Meralda is forced to see him by her father who feels very guilty about whoring out his doughter to the king to save her mother.
The setting of this book was very effective because it brings you to a mystical land of mythical creatures wick sucks in and makes you forget about your daily troubles. It lets your imagination play as you read the descriptive words about the mythical land.
The characterization of this book is very effective because the characters are very imaginative and inspire the mind to think things that bring your mind off the troubles of life and school. That brings you in to the world of your own imagination in which every sees the book in their own different way.
The plot of this book was very jumpy it jumps from one story to another intertwining the stories into one. The plot keeps you interested in the story because it is a different story every five minutes. It keeps you in suspense when you move back to the story you were suspended from you are in suspense from the story you just read and you just want to keep reading the book to find out what is going to happen next which keeps your mind off of what is bothering you outside the book.
The language in this book is filled with culture which gives this book a very realistic feel. Everyone in the book has his or her own cultural slurs and you have to stop and think about what they said which you have to do in real life that gives the book a very realistic feel.
If you like to read mythical books that enhances your imagination to a state of reading hard to find in most books. That changes the way you think and feel about books plus keeps you in suspense the whole ride you will definitely like this book. This is a great book and I would recommend it to anyone.
