Title: Extremely disappointing
Product review: Mountains of hype, and under it this pathetic mouse of a book. The death of you-know-who doesn't bother me--but the arbitrary way it occurred does (gotta do the deus ex machina thing now). New characters completely cardboard. Old characters blandly handled. Plot stupid and cliched. Salvatore gets numerous things hilariously wrong. The previous comments about it being 'dark' are baffling--it's not 'dark', it's just dull. I thought the TPM novelization was an aberration--apparently not. This is the new norm. Save your money, folks.
