It was intresting but the part about flint leaving at the lake is weird when there are hordes of goblins after them.When they entered the swamp and the dwarf fell in a hole and the rest walked over it was weird but it was cool when the dragon attacked from the well. Its a great book but there are some wierd spots.

These are great adventures, and I have enjoyed reading them to my pre-teen/early teen kids. However, whoever edited these books for a younger audience ought to have his or her head examined. The number of explicit allusions to sex, rape, arousal, instances of characters calling each other "bastard", etc., is disturbing in a series supposedly targeted at younger readers. Any editor with half a brain ought to have taken such things out or else "softened" the wording. It would have done no harm to the great story to have edited out such needlessly explicit and/or graphic details.
I therefore got into the habit of previewing each chapter and flagging anything to be skipped before reading them aloud. It's really too bad this wasn't done by the editor! Such passages and terms don't occur that frequently, but it's best to be prepared for them all the same.
Bear in mind also that a lot of bloodshed and death is included in this story as well, along with numerous references to the gods and goddesses of Krynn, who are "real" in this fantasy world. To me, it is a fascinating trip into a mythological world created by the authors, as entertaining as Homer's Odyssey and the like.
But as to some of the content, parents, be warned.

Overall, this series makes for wonderful reading. However, the sexual content is inappropriate for the age group (8-13 years) of readers it is directed at. I found myself editing some of the content while reading to my son.
