Customer Reviews

Not bad at all

I really enjoyed this book. Most of the stories were good, but some were horribly average. My favorite was "Gone". The suspence was terrific and I loved every moment exept for the sudden end. Overall it was a very good book envolving mainly kender and knights. It was well worth the price.

good stories

I thought Heroes and Fools was a good collection of stories about the Fifth Age, I enjoyed Boojum,Boojum,Tree of Life,Songsayer,Nobless,Oblige,The Thief in the Mirror and since I have one story left I'm looking forwared to reading To Convince the Righteous of the Right the story of Kang and his band of Draconians. I've allways enjoyed the short stories about Kang. The only story I have not enjoyed is Gone by Roger E. Moore, Manly because the story is witten in Diary form and I hate that. If you enjoy reading the Dragonlance books and like short stories than this book is for you.

"Much ado about magic" is pointless...but funny!

So far (i've only read a few stories) "To convince the righteous of the right" and "much ado about magic" were the best. I have yet to finish it...but it's nott as good as war of the lance was so far or any of the other anthologies ive read.

I loved the stories !

This book has some of the best stories in the Fifth age, including a very strange one about shadow wights . It also has a nice bunch of stories on creatures of the Fifth age. It does have some pitfalls but it makes that up by keeping up the chaotic feel that the Fifth age is supposed to have. In brief its a exellent book.

An excellent and humorous read!

This collection of short stories is well written a nd has a variety of villians, heroes and (of course) fools. There are several stories with laughs, some tear jerkers, and a combination of both in a few.
