Tough to judge, but not the best out there
Well, I went with four stars, because three just did not feel right. I really like this book as an exhibition of the style that kept me buying and reading Salvatore's books since I first read The Crystal Shard: fast-paced (for the most part), good exposition, lots of action.
As mentioned by other reviewers, the title is misleading in that not only is Drizzt not the sole focus of the book, but he never really is alone! Salvatore apparently decided to inject a love triangle thanks to some latent cowardice in Dizzt and the racial [age] difference between elves and humans. While it is certainly valid, I can see that in the third installment there are two ways to go. Either love will conquer all or jealousy will tear apart.

Best Drizzt book in a long time
I love R.A. Salvatore's Dark Elf books. Drizzt is a brilliant creation, and the series is very well written. The Dark Elf trilogy hooked me (Homeland is one of my favorite books), the Icewind Dale Trilogy was great too, and the Legacy of the Drow quartet was brilliant.

Not so with the Lone Drow. It has more action than any Drizzt book since Seige of Darkness (again with the exception of Servant of the Shard, but that didn't star Drizzt), but it is NOT simply a hack and slash. It ...

Great Book!
I thought this was a great book. And this, like all Drizzt books was not a disappointment. The battle scenarios were great, as are the villians. If anything bad is to be said about it, I'd say it seemed a little rushed at the end. The jumping around from plotline to plotline got a bit annoying, because I think we see to little of the main character throughout the first half of the book. The ending was very noteworthy and original. Usually I can predict one way or another, what may happen in the end, but not this time. In my opinion, Salvatore proves to be the Lord of the Forgotten realms (again).
