I listened to the audiobook done in Audible Studios and I thought the voice acting was quite good. I was particularly impressed with the rendition of young Bruenor by Felicia Day (absolutely lovely) and the voice of David Duchovny that really helps create this amazing atmosphere in the story of Wulfgar's end.

There are some great short stories, however, after reading the Drizzt books you can see some sequences (especially related to Drizzt) that tend to repeat themselves. And I liked the fights, amazingly choreographed, as always; however, when read, they are not as impressive.

I guess I also needed to adapt to the audio format, so some of the stories I had to take again from the start. But all in all, great voices, great content. I guess, the story were not the greatest thing ever, but the voice acting definitely made up for them.

The legend of Drizzt continues with the dark elf going back into Menzoberranzan, to surrender himself to the enemies of Mithral Hall. This way, he hopes to avert the danger of the drow attacking the dwarven citadel.

The book is written in the same easy style, with a lot of focus on the fight scenes. Sometimes it gets frustrating the amount of detail put into the choreography of the sword fights, but it still is the best part of the book.

All characters seem to be unmoved by the events of this book. The adventure seems to change absolutely nothing, and it seems like a simple interlude to a better, an intro for a better book, perhaps. The author tries to lend some depth to Drizzt, but fails terribly; perhaps the only character that becomes truly interesting is Jarlaxle, the head of Bregan D'Aerthe.

All in all it's fun and fast.

It's an incomplete story; and I guess I should follow up with book 5; picking up the series in the middle doesn't help either. But also the content is ok, but not stellar. It's a normal AC story, and you might enjoy it.

Sadly, while the story of the Ankh of Isis tries to be the link between the events happening outside the AC games, it fails. The story is not very good, the drawing is not amazing, and the plot is full of immense holes.

But if you choose to read it, it can be fun. But you have to try, very hard. :)

The re-imagined origin story of Batman is exactly what the doctor ordered. The only regret about it is that it's too short. "Year One" has two important story-lines, one regarding the ambitious cpt. Gordon while the other one focuses on Bruce Wayne, Batman himself.

This story is a classic - it kicks-off one of the best comic-book series.

The Dark Knight Strikes again presents itself as a very complicated and abstract story. The drawing style sets it back and makes the story even more complicated and fuzzy. It's a good story, but too much Deus Ex Machina, too much of Superman & friends, and too little of Batman. I liked it, but I can't say I was thrilled. The story doesn't capture you the way a Frank Miller story should.

I think that Passage to Dawn managed to better emphasize on the action and the tension of the classic fantasy-hack-and-slash novels. A lovely read, with a surprising ending, and the companions are together again, starting a new quest at the end of it...

Nice erotica, with a bit of depth, not just blind stimulation. Stories from another world, with amazing characters and exciting things happening. This is a collection of short stories, loosely linked between them, there are obvious changes of tone and atmosphere, at times they can be puzzling. But all in all it's an enjoyable read, and it manages to keep of the 'vulgar' territory and be more than that.

Definitely one of my favorite pieces of erotica.
