There's a German word, "Waltersobchakeit," which means "You're not wrong, you're just an asshole." It seems to have applied to Drizzt a lot in your reviews, unfortunately for him.
I think part of the problem with Drizzt was that Mr. Salvatore improvised him on the spot after a talk with his editor, and then (in my opinion) continued to improvise (and idolize) for way too long, so by the time Drizzt got popular, it was too late to make anything better. Which sucks, since we could've had Wulfgar, hero of the realms, if Mr. Salvatore had only thought about it.
Anyway, thank you for continuing to share your posts. I appreciate them.
