The Halfling's Gem - Book Review

I recently finished reading The Halfing's Gem which is one of many books taking place in the Forgotten Realms universe.  This universe was created by author R.A. Salvatore and is part of the core series of books that include the drow elf, Drizzt Do'Urden.

The Halfling's Gem

Similar to the Dragonlance universe, I really enjoy the books in the Forgotten Realms universe.  Salvatore has done a magnificent job creating a new world filled with elves, drow elves, spider queens, barbarians, drawves, and wizards, to name just a few of the types of characters.  These books are often quick reads but provide a great escape from the day to day problems of the real world.  Books of these types are great for a 20-30 minute read before bed to end the day.  

If you have a science fiction/fantasy fan in your house, I recommend any of the Drizzt Do'Urden books by R.A. Salvatore.
