5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest book of all time..., May 16 2002
By Jeff (Toronto, ON) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Legend (Mass Market Paperback)
This was the first Gemmell book i ever read, and years later, i still find myself re-reading it on a regular basis. Be forwarned, reading this book will significantly highten your standards when it comes to fantasy and books in general. After reading Gemmell, you will never be able to even look at a Robert Jordan book again.
I have read pretty much every book Gemmell has written, and this remains my favorite, by far. The most epic, awe-inspiring, emotional, entertaining peice of writing that i have ever had the pleasure of reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thanks Dad!, Mar 7 2002
By David Greenwood (West Yorkshire, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Legend (Mass Market Paperback)
This was the first Gemmell book i read, my dad used to read him a lot and gave this book to me for me to read. I hardly put it down after long nights of all night reading. I knew this was a master piece, the pace is just right the characters are well described and very real to life. The last few chapters you can almost see your self there fighting along side them. This book is a work of art and is one of the best ive read, i have now read all the drenai books at least twice!! these are all great books! Any questions E-mail me!!! plz?

By "truehodge" (Santa Rosa, Ca United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Legend (Mass Market Paperback)
This is excellent fast paced fantasy. Druss is a classic hero in the fantasy genere. Read this and the whole Drenai series. Nothing complicated but good fun reading.
