Thoughts on the book?

Not sure if this is the correct forum for this, but I was just wondering everyone's thoughts on the book. MetsFan76 03:27, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

work

This article needs alot of work....I'm willing to work on it but it will take some time. --MetsFan76 05:46, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Of course. I haven't even finished the summary and still need to clean it up, but I'm kinda burned out from writing articles on this book that book.... D dc c 20:44, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like the plot summary could be a lot shorter. I mean, it's not even close to done, and it's almost a 1000 words. A summary should be quick without giving away too much. I'm going to see if I can write a shorter, more condensed summary, if no one has any objections. Vyselink 01:40, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

1) Plot summary seems fine. Wikipedia is on the computer; no real reason to go for short articles. Many times I avoid Wikipedia articles if they are too short. 2) This is a good place to discuss the book. I thought it was terrible, as did many others. It is all dialogue, the characters explain the plot to each other, it is slow moving and the charcters have lengthy arguments despite the reader already knowing how those arguments will end. Terrible writing style. 3) The book immediately went to the bargain bin in my city. Can we get a discussion up on the main page about critical reception here? This was not a popular book in the local Chapters and had a short shelf life.

Wrong on two counts. The plot summary is too lengthy, particularly when its notability is weighed in, and particularly since it's nowhere near complete (they haven't even gotten in the Dwarven kingdom yet!). And no, this is not a good place to discuss the book. This is where we discuss the article on the book.

Seems there has been little to no action in this discussion page or the article in quite some time. I plan on shortening, and completing, the plot section, soon if no one else is interested in raising the standards of this poor wiki entry. Ynot4tony2 (talk) 18:15, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Definition of a Synopsis/Summary

Thank you, faithful Dragonlance fans, for not knowing the definition of a Summary or Synopsis. Thanks to you, I had the first bit of the book spoiled, because you people feel the need to put a point by point of every single event in.

I suggest you remove it and put up a spoiler free paragraph or two for the summary/synopsis. Make sure to look up the definitions.

It was obvious from the get-go that the "plot summary" was overly detailed...yet you kept reading. But yes, it is far too long and detailed. However, if you look around on wikipedia, spoilers for books and movies are common. You might wish to keep this in mind. Ynot4tony2 (talk) 19:47, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Plot Summary

I've revised the plot summary, but have not wikilinked all pertinent tidbits. In addition, the summary kind of sucks. Still, better than the overly detailed previous one that covered the first quarter of the novel. ----[TINC]-- 01:48, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

If you get a chance, could you go back over and wikilink (and if necessary copyedit)? Thanks. 24.148.0.83 (talk) 22:39, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Copy-editing assistance

Have done a copy-edit of the text of the article. However, I don't have access to Questia to format the School Library Journal reference correctly. Any takers? LouiseS1979 (talk) 11:47, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
