My new distraction from reality!

I have read all of the intertwining books that have connections to Drizzt and the companion's of the hall. From the Cleric Quintet, the journeys of Jarlaxle and Entrerie, to the Spider Queen books about Quenthel and Gromph Beanre and an amazing wizard named Pharaun Mizzrym. I will be revisited all of these books using audible.

If you havn't already read Homeland...

If you havn't already read Homeland I highly recomment listening to this audiobook version. I now know why RA Salvatore is so popular for it seems he is one of the best Forgotten Realms authors I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying. Victor Bevines performance was immaculate as was the story.

good story, narrator was lacking some

the story was good like any Salvatore novel. it was good to hear of dritz beginnings. however the narrator was just okay some parts he was Extremely Loud other parts soft kept finding myself have to change my volume over and over. his overall performance was okay.

My first introduction to the Underdark and Drizzt

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Victor Bevine’s voice is very pleasant to listen to.

Any additional comments?

The first book is offered at a special price of $3.49. If the rest of the books were even offered at $9.99; I would buy the narration to go along with all of the kindle copies of those books. However, at $24.95, there is no way I will even consider buying another audiobook from Audible.com.

The legend is born!

Would you listen to Homeland again? Why?

Yes, and I have, more than once. The story of Drizzt's birth, tutelage under weapons master Zaknafein, and Drizzt's journey through Melee Magthere, the Drow school of fighting is told wonderfully by Mr. Salvatore.

What did you like best about this story?

The relationship between Zak and Drizzt is my favorite theme in the book. Humanity struggles with choices of good and evil all the time so this concept is really nothing new. What makes the idea of those struggles interesting in Homeland, is the fact that in Drow society, you really don't have a choice. The minute you are born in Menzoberranzan your destiny is already predetermined. This opening story of Drizzt takes readers through a personal journey of strength and courage to listen to what your heart says, rather than be just another cog in the wheel of society and society's religion. A powerful message transcends all of humanity.

What about Victor Bevine’s performance did you like?

At first, I enjoyed the power of Victor's voice. Every dramatic part in the book comes through Victor's performance and conveys exactly what the author meant. After a while, I never even noticed what the voice sounded like. I was completely into the story so much that I got lost listening and found myself hanging on every word, waiting to hear the next.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I did not simply because it is a bit long. I felt I could have though, it certainly is fascinating enough to keep my attention that long, but I wanted to enjoy every minute, every second. If I get distracted, I'll pause it and come back. Perhaps even set the scene again by listening to a section again once I return to "get back" into my previous position in the book.

Any additional comments?

Damn I bought I a lot of R.A. Salvatore books after this one! LOL

loved it, couldn't stop listening.

I enjoy the tales of Drizzt. The narrator did a wonderful job of giving each character a distinct voice. I hope to enjoy many more stories from Salvatore.
