The Siege of Mt. Nevermind

Great book. The confusing, busy plot works perfectly with the gnomes of Mt. Nevermind. The blend of humor and drama makes for charicters you can really care about, including the often- overlooked gully dwarves.A fun, creative, adventurous book.

When I picked up this book, the author was unknown to me or nearly anyone, and the cover was not appealing, but I have always known never to judge a book by its cover, and I take that literally. I have found that fantasy stories tend to center around iconoclastic skills, leaving great images in our minds but leaving, sometimes, the story and its effects something to be wished for. And indeed, this one began in such a way, until about halfway through the book, there was suddenly a massive amount of character development and writing development as well. Symbolism, a meaning. And it made the process of reading it so enthralling, that among fantasy stories I have read, it sits high up there, above the Hobbit.

I enjoyed the latest DragonLance novel. Not the best I've read, but surely not the worst. However I do have to commend the Artist that did the cover, FANTASTIC work...made me buy the Book! Glen Angus is his name I believe, I look forward to finding more of his work.

Well, I've read a few Dragonlance novels, and think this one isjust fine. All that gnomish preposterousness mixed with a bizarre andappealing plot (fully in line with gnomish character), and a genuine Irish flair for language. One of the better Dragonlance books I've read in a while: the character of the High Justice Gordusmajor is alone worth the price of the book!
