Review title: Nice idea, poor execution
Product review: Salvatore's blatant lifting of names and characters from various sources, most notably Tolkien, makes it difficult indeed for me to take this novel seriously. Perhaps it's not intended to be completely serious, but Salvatore's calling his main male character Luthien (a very important *female* character in Tolkien's mythology) and his native land Eriador (the western part of Tolkien's Middle-earth), not to mention Oliver deBurrows, a "halfling" thief whose dialogue is almost lifted from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" really did me in, even though the story itself is not inherently flawed.
