Customer Reviews

Suprisingly good

I cant believe how much more entertaining this book was than i thought it would be. I was really worried going into this book after reading other reviews here. but I couldnt be more pleased with this book. Its title is absolutly perfect in that the "tales of uncle trapspringer" are hugely important in this story. I think what people are confused about is that the Kender named trapspringer in this book was NOT the actual uncle trapspringer. But i digress, this was a book full of action, LOADS of comedy (how funny is that fiend?) and it even had a fullfilling ending. I also thought it was consistent with the other dragonlance books. While neither Kender is very much like Tas, remember that not every kender is identical. they just have simaler characteristics. I definitly recommend this book if your a dragonlance fan who likes fantasy comedy (example if tas is your favorite character in the chronicles) otherwise if what your looking for a is a serious, no messing around fantasy, this isnt your book.

Tales of Uncle Trapspringer

THIS IS THE GREATEST BOOK OF ALL TIME! I couldn't put it down. I was reading all day, and I loved it. Also, it had the best ending I have ever read in a book. I won't give it away, but if you read it, I guarantee you'll love it. 5 stars all the way!

A very Kender-like story...

This is a great book, written in a very kender way. Dispite some other negative comments made about the book, I disagree that it was bad writing or a poor view of Uncle Trapspringer. I believe the "disorganized" way the story was told, is EXACTLY the way a kender tale would be told. And I think a point being made was, that Uncle Trap, was a normal kender, just like any other. The story was well written, and in many parts, hilarious. A good read for any Dragonlance fan!

funny little kender story

I expected a collection of short stories but got a single long story, a good one. It is funny, does not take itself too seriously and you never know who is chasing whom. A must-read for kender fans and one of the best Dragonlance books so far.

Dispite everyone elses thoughts I thought it was excellent

I thought that the author really captured the kender's personality
