Product Description

An eternal war

The endless Blood War rages, a never-ending battle between the fiends of the planes. Amid this horrific conflict, a single hero with no memory of his past seeks to discover his true identity.

Of course, this being the planes, his companions on his quest are ... unusual. But if you can't trust a floating skull, an eccentric investor, and a succubus, who can you trust?

Practically no one.

Based on the best-selling computer game from Interplay.

2.0�toiles sur 5 Strangely, the game is better then the book., Mai 20 2004

Par Un client

Most of the time the book is better then the movie, etc.
Not this time.

Maybe it was my fault for playing the game through before reading the book, but this book was run of the mill fantasy dribble.

I read it through in two days but i cant say that that was because of how enjoyable it was. I read it quick so i can move onto another book.

As of right now the game can probably be got for as little as this book. If youre interested in DnD or Planescape, pick up the game. You wont be sorry.
But stay away from this book!

2.0�toiles sur 5 Weak Storyline, Jui 22 2003

Par	Michael R Villarreal (Wyoming, USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

I'll admit it; I have no one to blame but myself for being disappointed by this book. Wizards of the Coast has always released poor novels, with the exception of the Dragonlance series, but I liked the computer game "Planescape: Torment" enough that I assumed this book would be different.

It wasn't.

The storyline was weak, to put it simply. Imagine the basic plot of the game, then cut off three-quarters of its strength. The goal seemed to be to fit the basic idea of the entire game into as short of a book as possible, which translates into a book that is written faster. There seems to be no point to this book except to wrestle the last few dollars out of the buyer's hand after they spent most of it on "Planescape: Torment".

Granted, the characters are true to what you would probably expect, and the atmosphere is equivalent. The thing I just cannot get over is how dumbed-down the whole thing feels. Maybe it's just the fact that I generally dislike high fantasy, but I still suspect a deeper problem with this book.

4.0�toiles sur 5 A review on itself, Avril 3 2001

Par	Claudio Estrugo (Solymar, Canelones Uruguay) - Voir tous mes commentaires

I have not played the game, but I have been playing the Planescape setting of AD&D since it was launched. In that context, I can't compare the novel to the game, but the book to the book itself. It's Planescape down to the bones. It vividly shows the feel of the setting. Even if it's aimed at teen and pre-teen readers (it's very easy to read), I found it a pleasure of enjoyment. If you like fantasy, give it a try. It's more than worth.

1.0�toiles sur 5 Worst book ever, seriously. . .
First, the rating is not 'one star', it's a poor substitution for zero stars, since that was not an option. Read more
