2.0�toiles sur 5 Embarrassing, Mai 20 2004

Par	Alex J. Banks "Contra1200" (Glendale, AZ United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

The game i considered a trivial masterpiece. However, i later picked up this novel just to use as bathroom reading, it seemed short enough.

The author sure left a lot of stuff out of the game, which would have probably made it a better book too. The romance with Abdel and Jaheira was still really lame (but atleast it didnt make me laugh like Baldur's gate one did though,) and Imoen, seems more like a plot herself then an actual character. If you want to read some good fantasy/adventure, try novels by RA Salvatore or Cunningham. For a truly submersive BGII experience, play the game and dont read the book, it gives FR a bad name.

4.0�toiles sur 5 A great follow up to the original, F�v 28 2003

Par	Photopro "Mike" (purcellville, va United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires

The follow up to the game of Baldur's Gate was great, and so is this book. As the first game was, this is game was a bit hard to follow story wise. But this book brings it all together. Phillip Athens, the writer of the fist novel in the trilogy does a great job telling the story in detail of Abdel and his companions. We even get to follow them into a drow city deep under the world that we dont know much about. This story is essential to the outcome of the trillogy.
It is here that we get plunged deeper into the city of Baulder's Gate, and deeper into the lives of Abdel and his companions. The battles are well written out and hold on to the reader tightly. This is the story that brings everything you have been wondering about together. The feeling is much deeper than that of the first, which is great. You will find plenty of turns and twists in this second novel of the Baldur's Gate series. I recommend this book to any fan of the games or fans of the first book.
Writing a fantasy novel is difficult in itself, but writting a book that is based on a best selling video game trilogy is even more difficult. Why? Because you have to be able to keep the fans reading and give them the same sense of adventure that they experienced in the game. Leaving it at that, I feel that Athens hit a perfect mark with this second book.

1.0�toiles sur 5 Not appropriate (IMHO) for preteens/kids, F�v 27 2003

Par	"cedest" (Pacifica, CA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

I was quite disappointed and somewhat shocked. In addition to the poor writing style/etc. pointed out by the other reviewers I was disturbed to find a sexual encounter with a vampire and then a lesbian sexual encounter later in the book. I am by no means a prude and recognize the rather explicit nature of our society today, however it still surprised me to find them present.

I have long been a fan of the D&D based/themed books (Dragonlance, FR series, etc.) but this really is trash. I hope it does not reflect the nature of the other D&D books which are out there since my son enjoys reading them - and I certainly hadn't expected this type of content. I'm going to need to catch up on my reading (yes, we do censor what our child reads/watches/etc.) before allowing my son to read any more in these settings.

1.0�toiles sur 5 urgh!
Wow, this book is really really badly written. Anyone who is a fan of the Baldur's Gate games (as I am) should stay away from this book because it is terrible. Read more

1.0�toiles sur 5 Dim-witted, twisted, and disturbing...shall I go on?
This book, which I expected to be a basic novelization of the game, was loosly based upon the BGII plot. Read more

3.0�toiles sur 5 Pretty good
If you are a fan of D&D or similar fantacy stories, this is a pretty good book. If your expecting it to be just like the pc game you might be a bit disappointed. Read more

1.0�toiles sur 5 Sick, perverted and way too strange (Imoen is a lesbian?)
First off, let me say I am a fan of the BG series. But this is a truely terrible translation. For instance, the bald Minsc has long, red hair. Read more
