Summary: SALVATORE HAVE FOUND THE SPIDER QUEEN'S FAVOR,...AND MINE
Comment: HOMELAND is one of those rare books which you started reading....but cannot put down. R.A. Salvatore have elaborated and expanded upon what we (AD&D gamers) know about the dark elves, which, at the time, consist of the D series modules, into a story so detailed, so rich, so engaging that this one of the best novels I have ever read. Salvatore also developed the characters into such depths that even the evil characters (which is most of them), you can understand their motivations....one NEEDED to be evil and hateful in order to survive in a twisted society. Sometimes, you might actually found youself rooting for the Do'Urden family in their relentless quest for power and prestige.
You don't have to be familiar with the Dungeons and Dragons game in order to be entertain by this novel. It is self contained and contain enough information here so the totally clueless can get into it.
The only fault I found in this book is how Drizzt himself seems to be so clueless about the society around him...is he really so sheltered that he doesn't know about the twisted truths about his people?
Homeland is one of the best fantasy books I have ever read. You will not regret it.

Summary: Its good
Comment: Yea its pretty good. I read the cleric quintet a while ago, favorite series of all time. Im not a big guy on reading, but this has been the only book ive ever pulled off an all-nighter on. Drizzt is pretty cool. He isn't the regular old, "Hero with a big sword vanquishes evil in order to free his land because he is the chosen one". Drizzt is more like a guy who doesn't like whats around him, so he just leaves and lets them fight their own battle.
Drizzt doesn't try to be the prophecy child of all time, hes just a guy. He fights, and has different feelings about how the drow treat each other. He knows he can't change everyone by slaying the ultimate evil, so drizzt just trys to get by. He is pretty cool though. Doesn't take punishments when hes older. Stands up for himself. Even curses out the spider queen lloth, or whatever her name is. I dont know, he is like a good hero that doesn't try to hard, thats why hes likeable.
The story revolves around him growing up. He is by far the greatest fighter of all the drow, even wins some tournaments. Id have to say the best win he ever got was the second melee-magthere he was in, it was cool. The problem though, description. I don't know what any of the characters look like. The cover looks like an old dude, zak I think, but on the second book theres like the same dude, so I think its drizzt, but he looks old. I only know drizzt has purple eyes, nothing about his physique or hair or anything. None of the characters seemed to be described except by personality. "Briza was a strong woman", thats great but I don't even know how I could classify what she looks like by that. The environment after a while became clear to me. However, what does drizzt actually look like, or dinin, or anyone else.
As far as reading goes, sped through it in a day, not usual for me. I liked it, good read, didn't slow down too much. It keeps you there, it doesn't say, "Now lets proceed into a long speech about drownessness". It keeps fighting well spaced between talking. I don't know how I can describe it anymore. If u like fantasy and have a good imagination, you can get into this book pretty well id say.

Summary: Great action and provides understanding of the drow.
Comment: This is a great book about Drizzt's upbringing as a drow and his struggles against his culture. A lot of light is shown on the mysterious world of Menzoberanzon and the rest of the underdark, as well as the drow ways and society.
With lots of action and great story telling, this book is hella fun to read. The intrigue and secret (but not so secret) plotting and betrayals that are so common in Drizzt's homeland help the reader to better understand the ways of the drow and the reasons for the corruption of most drow people. The fights between Drizzt and Zak were sweet and the last part of the book, in which Drizzt killed Masoj and Alton and defied his matron mother Malice, was awesome. Exciting stuff.
