[Duke Hereward]

I have to say that the books are pretty good, apart from a few chapters which see Drizzt contemplating some of life's moral questions (I skip those). Its interesting though that Salvatore only started writing after reading 'Lord of the Rings', and if you look at all of his books the influence is very clear (reclaiming a mine from a bunch of baddies ring any bells? someone 'dying' fighting the major evil living in the mine and then returning to life?). Well worth reading though, and it would be great if they would introduce the characters into the IWD games - I'd have Catti-Brie in my party any time with that crazy bow of hers (though it probably only works like the Long Bow +4: hammer)
