1.0 out of 5 stars What a dissapointment!, November 26, 1998

This review is from: The Companions (Dragonlance: The Meetings Sextet, Vol. 6) (Mass Market Paperback)

It is obvious to me that the author has never read a Dragonlance book before. Each and every one of the characters act uncharacteristically, to say the least. Tanis is stupid, Tas is evil, Sturm is a coward, and on and on. What a piece of crap! If you are a Dragonlance fan, skip this one, it will only make you mad (or violently sick). This should have been the best book ever! Instead, it's the worst... And what is this thing the author has with bodily wastes? Disgusting.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't judge other books in the series by this one, Please!, August 3, 1998

This review is from: The Companions (Dragonlance: The Meetings Sextet, Vol. 6) (Mass Market Paperback)

I was really disappointed by this book. The writing is terrible - like the book I tried to write when I was 8, except it's 300 odd pages long and someone must have actually given the author money for it. The story is essentially like any disaster movie: meet the characters, have a few foreboding encounters with the bad guys, climax (ho hum) where some weird and previously unheard of allies suddenly spring to their aid. Character development is poor and inconsistent with other, far superior, Dragonlance novels. Even if you've just read the previous 5 novels in the sextet (as I had), I'd advise you to forego reading this, it illuminates nothing.

1.0 out of 5 stars What a waste., June 24, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Companions (Dragonlance: The Meetings Sextet, Vol. 6) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is not just the worst Dragonlance novel I have ever read, it is one of the worst books, period. I cannot believe TSR published this awful excuse for a novel. This must be Tina Daniell's first (and last, I hope) fantasy novel. I can imagine the preview if "The Companions" was a movie: "You'll howl with laughter as Tasslehoff takes an "evil" potion, and cuts of Sturm's moustache! Ha ha, ouch! Now, that's evil! You'll cringe as he paints his room black, proving his depravity! Watch out, folks! He means business!"

But hey folks, if you can overlook plot chasms, awful syntax, and a boring and preposterous story that clearly never actually happened in the Dragonlance universe(one of the reasons we liked reading about Tanis and Raistlin and Sturm was that they were basically just ordinary people who became heroes through chance. If the events in this novel are valid, they saved Krynn years before the War of the Lance)then this is the book for you!
