In brief, they are a pleasant enough read, if a bit thin. If you’ve played the game it will be an interesting angle for you at least. The ‘Hero’ is a giant, battle-ready fighter and you follow his trials and tribulations towards godhood. The only objection I have to the books is in the last one which portrays Minsc (one of the computer characters) as having flowing red hair…
Hey Drew, Minsc of the righteous butt-kicking fame is as bald as the proverbial coot!
