Enjoyable but Lacking in Depth
If you're looking for some books to pass a rainy weekend or to take on holiday, then by all means pick up the Cleric Quintet. The book has a fast pace that covers for the lack of characterization and emotion involved. Cadderly and the Boulder Shoulder brothers are likable and the minions of Talona are fine enemies. However Mr. Salvatore resorts to the unforgivable cliche of making the protagonist and the antagonist father and son. Fear not, the information won't spoil your read as it adds no dramatic feel.

Why I like books
Im one of those people who would probably not read a book, and just see the movie. But this book truly opened my eyes to reading. First of all, you probably would not pick this book up, just because there are so many other good looking books next to it. But it is like, awesome.

Vintage Salvatore!
I have written before,in various reviews,that in my opinion that half of the value of a book can be guessed by how much of it you read the first time you pick it up..
Well,I had a 4 day off from work,and I finished it.I didnt get much sleep,these 4 days,and I stopped only for the most basic needs..My gf went nuclear on the 3d day,but then she read it too and understood :-)
This is the story of Cadderly,a cleric who appears also in another book,aiding Drizzt Do'Urden.It is a fabulous story of the chaos curse,a curse that twists and magnifies the hidden-subconscious passions of humans so that they are turned to beasts.The characters are amazing.(The Bouldershoulder brothers are absolutely hilarious!).Though in the beginning ,the elf prince is a bit..tight ...anyway..this quintet is a ...
