Review title: A seventh-graders dream; an adult's nightmare
Product review: I first read these books when I was in seventh grade, and was captivated. I decided to reread these books as a break from graduate studies, and I have found the story to be lacking and the writing to be awful. The characters are highly emotional and the bestial descriptions -- e.g., Raistlin hissed and Tanis snarled -- get old quickly. It is no wonder that these books attract kids, for the characters' emotional levels are as solid as teens suffering through puberty. And if you have not read these books, I highly recommend to you not to listen to those who compare them with Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings." Indeed, they are probably just as popular, but there is where the comparison ends. To site a friend of mine: these books are not even a scratch on the house that Tolkien built. But if you need something to do to pass the time while, say, riding a stationary bike, these books do just fine. They do not require much concentration.
