Hello mortals!

There's three books. One for BG1, BG2, and ToB. What do you think of them?

The garbage by Athans? You are kidding, right? Please tell me you haven't read them... and are kidding. Chimpanzees could write better trash.
I've read BG 1 and BG2 novels by Philip Athans and they suck. Books mostly consist on fights description (mostly those from the game), which are dull and boring. An there is the love story between main character and Jaheira, which starts after main character kills Khalid.

I heard that ToB is slightly better (another author), but I' ve got some doubts :)

Wait...the main character *kills* Khalid?

I've never read these myself, but I've never heard a single good thing about them.

I was pretty sure that he kills him, but wiki http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Khalid says that he only have him injured, tough kills him little after when Khalid becomes a Zombie. :) My bad.

Nevertheless It is poor novel.

I haven't read them myself but...wow! That sounds pretty bad! My only video game novel experience is War of the Ancients, by Richard A. Knaak. I couldn't finish the book because it was mind numbingly dull.

The BG novels sound much worse though.
