Book Description
When war breaks out abruptly in 1973, childhood friends Haim and Dov are called up together to serve in their tank battalion, but in the chaos of battle, the friends are separated. A month later, Haim returns alone, on his first leave home. As he struggles to come to terms with his experiences, weary and saddened but sustained by his religious faith, there is one question that remains uppermost in Haim's mind: What happened to Dov during those fateful days after the outbreak of war?
Much of the narrative of ADJUSTING SIGHTS (Toby Press, May 15, 2003, hdcv.) centers around recounting those chaotic first days of war endured by Haim, a tank gunner, along the hills and valleys of the Golan Heights. Interspersed with the action are Haim's memories of childhood, growing up with Dov in an immigrant neighborhood of Jerusalem. The religious teachings Haim and his fellow soldiers have grown up with are constantly with them as they deal with the devastating disarray of their forces and their fear of failure and capture. Prayer and Talmudic passages form a framework that enables them to cope with their experiences. Sabato skillfully draws us into the individual worlds of these young men; their courage as they help each other, their pain as they deal with the loss of comrades.
A lightly fictionalized biography written in a style reminiscent of S.Y. Agnon, ADJUSTING SIGHTS is not a book about religion, politics, or the rights and wrongs of war, but rather, it's a story about the personal experiences of a 19-year old man who has to adjust not only the sights of his gun, but also his understanding of the world in which he lives.
The author, Haim Sabato, descends from a long line of rabbis from Aleppo, Syria. He was born in Egypt but moved to Israel with his family when he was six. He served in the tank corps in the 1973 Yom Kippur War, and today heads a Yeshiva near Jerusalem. ADJUSTING SIGHTS was a runaway bestseller in Israel, and won the prestigious Sapir Prize for Literature. It is his second book.
ADJUSTING SIGHTS was translated into English by a leading Israeli translator, Hillel Halkin. Halkin is also a journalist and author.

A triumph of faith over fate.......2006-09-30
Although a bit repetitious at times, this is a work of passion. Young men, ripped from their studies, seek to wend their way through the chaos of war started on their holiest Day of Atonement. They must try to make sense of an illogical and frightening situation while safeguarding their physical and spiritual lives. It is a quick and worthwhile read, no matter what your beliefs, since it easy to sympathize with the characters.
Just Not For Me.......2005-11-23
This book is written with obvious love and passion. However, I was not able to become involved with the characters or get into the flow of the narration.
The story relies heavily on religious imagery and commentary. I have a hunch that deeply religious people with scholarly interests, especially religious Jews, will find the story very appealing. The main character cares deeply about his faith, and the war experiences are obviously an important test of that faith. I simply am not familiar enough with the sources and imagery to make the story come to life for me. I found myself stopping to try to figure out the connections instead of enjoying the story. In short, I found a story with a narrow and well-defined target audience, but that target audience simply was not me.
Besides personal reading pleasure, my other goal was to find a fictional work for an American audience. I teach a class on Middle East cultures to students with little or no background in the Middle East. Unfortunately, my students need a broader and more accessible introduction to Israeli fiction. I reluctantly leave this book to readers who are better able to appreciate its complexity and passion.
Poetic, Transcending, Supernal Novel of War and Spirit.......2004-11-30
I picked this book up in the Tel Aviv airport and read it from cover to cover on the plane ride back to New York. The author presents a personal, gripping account of tank warfare on the Golan in the 1973 Yom Kippur War suffused with spiritual and philosophical radiance. Very spiritual, very deep...a wonderful extraordinary and transforming read.
A wonderful book on a sad and painful reality.......2004-11-07
This is a book about the Yom Kippur War. It tells the story of one young religious soldier .It describes beautifully his neighborhood home synagogue .And it tells of his experience in battle, and the confusion and difficulty of this. It is also the story of a friendship and of the hero's search to find his longtime friend who it turns out has fallen in battle. It is a very moving work. And the religiousness of the main character is not imposed or extraneous but rather so within that religious discussions in the book read naturally and meaningfully. The disorentiation and suffering caused by war are described here in a muted and yet most deeply felt way. A wonderful book on a sad and painful reality.
A Searing Memoir.......2004-01-11
This is a thinly fictionalized account of a young man's experience in war. It was the Arab-Israeli war of 1973--the Yom Kippur war--and our narrator is suddenly called from the innocent life of a Yeshiva student to be a tank driver in the Golan Heights. The experience will change him forever. Friends from the neighborhood who go with him will never come back from this war. And he will come back changed, older and wiser.
The story of war, fear, horror and fatigue is strangely intertwined with memories of childhood, snatches of Hebrew poetry, and the endless dialectic of torah study. Conversations about religious texts and ancient commentaries lead to new insights about war, defeat, victory, survival and the meaning of life. There is more to each experience than meets the eye. Everything that happens has meaning, yet there is no lecturing or preaching. The young kids in those tanks are fighting a war, trying to survive and yet, striving for holiness, too.
The book is beautifully written, simple and powerful. I recommend it highly. Reviewed by Louis N. Gruber

A Classic Fantasy Cake with Extra Author Insight Icing!.......2007-08-10
The best parts of the Annotated Chronicles?? When Tracy Hickman writes a note about a particular item in the book, and then right below it, Margaret Weis also includes a note and basically contradicts with Tracy says! I love the playful rapport between them!
I am positively boggled as to how a book can be co-authored by two (or more) people in a collaborative, fictional linear-story setting, and this Annotated Chronicles really does shed a lot of light in the writing and thought process of creating and writing these epic books! I love behind the scenes stuff like that! It's like watching the "Making Of" extras in DVDs!
Warning: THE BOOK IS HEAVY. I've been using it as a commuting-on-the-train and a working-out-at-the-gym book and it really is an added burden! But I don't mind!
Also, if you have never read the books, the annotations on the sides will be VERY distracting, not to mention spoiler-y!
Excellent books- less than excellent annotations.......2007-05-29
This was my first experience with the dragonlance series, and I am now hooked. The trilogy was excellent to read, although the writing level was not quite up to the standard of Terry Goodkind and Robert Jordan, my other favorite fantasy authors.
The books receive 5 stars on merit, but this edition gets 4 stars because of the annotations. Many other reviewers have mentioned that some annotations are pointless and obvious, but those weren't the ones that bothered me. I enjoyed reading about the authors' mindset as they wrote a section of the book, or about character backgrounds. What I did NOT like, however, were the massive spoilers in the annotations. These spoilers really serve no purpose and have no context. Two that stand out in my mind are "***** is actually not a knight, as we discover later" and "******** is actually the dragon highlord" [names omitted for those who have not read the books]. The second example actually made me mad, as it ruined what would have been a big surprise at the very beginning of one of the books!
Many of the annotations are good, but the spoilers really overshadow the positive benefits. Read them seperately, IMO.
My return to Anaslon .......2007-03-23
Before I actually review this book I would like to give a little background history of why I read it. Many years ago (I believe it was 1989) in my early teens, I began getting into Advanced Dungeons and Dragons' gaming system. I was happy, loving the game and all the rulebooks, even though there were few people around that played, (at least that I knew) and getting those few together was difficult. In need of some action, I soon found some satisfaction in TSR's line of gaming novels. Greyhawk was hard to find, and it seemed a bit outdated. Forgotten Realms was pretty cool but never really caught my full interest. But then there was Dragonlance. By the time I got to the series TSR was beginning to hit its spin-off phase pretty hard. Much like the huge line of Star Trek novels, there were a lot, and most of them not worth reading unless you were a Trekkie or an AD&D geek. Most of these novels were Dragonlance and I bought them all, and yes, I think I even read them all. There were even a few gems in the line, although most felt like filler material, trying with varying degrees of success to flesh out a semi-realized world.
Many years later, after not having read much in the way of fantasy for a long time, I had the urge to reread the Chronicles. And after a bit of looking around on the Internet, I found and thought I might read the Annotated Edition. As someone who enjoys writing I like to read about the evolution of a book and also pick up any little details that couldn't fit in the published novel. (For the best example of this check out Tolkien's Histories of Middle Earth, compiled and edited by his son Christopher.) So I ordered a copy, and at the same time getting a copy of the Annotated Legends, the direct sequel to Chronicles.
What I would like to do is a brief review of each book in the trilogy, as each one has a different feel, and rating each individually. Then I will write about the trilogy as a whole, and this edition in particular.
Dragons of Autumn Twilight-4stars
This is the best of the three, indeed I think it might be the best of the whole Dragonlance line. This one, above all others, feels like you're in an adventuresome AD&D game. It is an interesting cast of characters that is based on the game system's recommended party. You've got your half-elven ranger (Tanis), your cleric (Goldmoon), barbarian (Riverwind), thief (Tasselhoff Burrfoot), fighter (Caramon), wizard (Raistlin), dwarf (Flint), and your knight or paladin (Sturm Brightblade). Not much room for improvement there, at least from a role-playing standpoint. The storyline is something like this: 300 years ago the gods "abandoned" the world of Krynn, because mortals dared to believe they knew better than them. Oh yeah, and on their way out they left plenty of destruction that was called the Cataclysm. Like hurling a fiery mountain down upon the center of moral purity, Istar. Now we have a cleric who doesn't know she is heralding their return, and our merry band of adventurers must help her (although most of them are not doing it willingly,) to find some sort of holy relic in a ruined city that is very reminiscent of an AD&D dungeon. And guess what! Dragons are back. At least a black one is. They exiled themselves through mutual consent of both the good dragons (metallic- gold, bronze, silver, etc.), and the evil dragons (colored- black, red, green, etc.), close to a thousand years before. After that the companions attempt to figure out what is going on and trying to spread the news, both the good (the gods are returning!) and the bad (yet so are the dragons!). After some more adventures we see one of the elven capitals, meet the bumbling old wizard Fizban (one of my personal favorites), and a man with a large green gem stuck to his chest who seems to have a problem with not being able to die.
Dragons of Winter Night- 3stars
This book feels more like a novel and less like you're in the middle of a role-playing game. The companions are splitting up, trying to do their part in discovering what is going on and what they can do about it. The reason for three stars on this one is that the plots don't really seem to flow together that well. Most of the time you could care less when you skip to the next character off in a different place, as the suspense doesn't really seem to build up in between scenes. But there are some interesting things in this book. One of my favorites is when they are looking for the fabled port city of Tarsis. After the Cataclysm the oceans were moved around, and now they are faced with a landlocked city surrounded by rotting ships on a sea of sand, which of course upsets the party's plan quite thoroughly. We also see what happens when you walk into a forest kingdom that is ruled by an elf going mad from being controlled by a green dragon.
Dragons of Spring Dawning- 3stars
Well here we are, the last one, and it doesn't get much better than the last. Not bad mind you, but any excitement that you might expect from the ending is demolished by the fantastical, superhuman feats that are necessary for the companions to go through in order to save the world.
Although I will say that they do a nice bit about how love can conquer all. And I must admit that the aerial battles between dragons were done very well. In the end we are left with a world returning to brightness, and our heroes must now live up to the status Heroes of the Lance.
As far as the series as a whole, it is a fun read, especially if you have never read it before. If you have then it might leave you feeling slightly disappointed, although for me it wasn't nearly as much so as watching my old favorite 80's movies. Now for the annotated edition, it was ok. There were some interesting things that they made notations of, but most of it seemed like plugs for the other Dragonlance books. And the most annoying thing was that they would say almost the same thing over and over again in each book, like you had never read that particular note before. Maddening!
Anyhow, I am glad that I reread it. I just hope the experience is as good for you if you do decide to read this for the first, or even fifth time.
Getting inside the author's head...a blast!.......2007-01-10
Have you ever wanted to get into the author's head just a little bit further? Or to rent them for a few hours and ask them questions? Well here you go...your wish had been granted...well sort of...well its the next best thing! The best description I can think of is this is like the DVD commentary option but better for its a book! =)
The Annotated Chronicles is chalk full of further detail of everything from plots, history, the why's and where's, who did whats, etc. In this wide margin addition of the Chronicle Margaret Weis (Author)and Tracy Hickman (Author) have invited us to the realms of their creation with lots of notes added in the margins.
So whether you are a seasoned vetrean or a first timmer I highly recommend The Annotated Chronicles version of the Dragonlance Chronicles!
Commentary on the Chronicles.......2006-11-23
Having read the Chronicles many years ago, and recently picked up the first volume of the Lost Chronicles, I turned to the Annotated Chronicles to mine the original stories for the best scenes and see what was contributed by the commentary of Weis, Hickman, and other members of the original Dragonlance design team. It's rare that one gets the opportunity to read authors' commentaries on their own works, and I found it overall a worthwhile experience - better, I say, to have this sort of thing than not (imagine a Lord of the Rings annotated closely by Tolkien!). Comments range widely from explanation of scenes, background to the plot, character origins, analysis, and development, and so on. Some of the notes explain the obvious but many give you an insight into what is for the reader unknowable (for example, concerns that Lord Soth, like Milton's Satan, would dominate at every appearance, which he tends to do...). I didn't find the notes obtrusive and tended to look forward to them as they appeared on the marginal horizon. A couple of things in conclusion: the annotations are not comprehensive (there is bound to be something that cries out for comment but does not receive it), nor are they systematic or (for the D&D folk) technical. If you have not read the Chronicles don't start with this edition. The annotations give too much away. Come back to it later.

Annotations detract from the story........2007-02-17
The Legends Trilogy definitely deserves a 5-star rating. I rate this edition as 3-star strictly because of the annotations.
Legends follows up the great Chronicles trilogy, with Raistlin, Caramon, and Tas embarking on a time-traveling adventure with enormous consequences for the entire world of Krynn. The story takes on a much more personal feeling in Legends, with the focus being narrowed to a few key characters and the plot seemingly less epic than the previous trilogy (even though the events have a larger potential impact on the world). This trilogy also has a darker and more serious feel, with much more emotional clarity and desperate circumstances. The characters are forced to make difficult sacrifices and each seems to fight their own form of depression.
The main premise focuses on Raistlin's efforts to become the most powerful mage of all time and challenge the gods themselves. Caramon and Crysiana fight their own personal battles to discover themselves and achieve peace with the world. Tas basically tags along in innocent curiosity and a desire to help his friends.
The annotations of this version add nothing to the story. I was hoping for interesting insights from the authors telling about their views of what the various characters are thinking or what really happened in alluded to events. Instead you get a whole bunch of repetitive and obvious commentary along with self-important glorifications of the authors' talent and foresight. This was my fourth journey through the Legends trilogy and it was by far the least enjoyable due to the distracting influence of pointless annotations. You would think that you'd be able to just ignore the commentary, but its impossible as you keep telling yourself that there must be at least a little useful information only to be disappointed time and again.
While the Legends trilogy is awesome, pick a different version than this one to enjoy.
Keeps getting better don't it?!.......2007-01-10
Following up on the previous trilogy we now get to explore a character the reader is most interested in, Raistlin. I think by the end of this second trilogy you really come to love or hate this mage. He is a very complicated individual sweating evil darkness with a scent of goodness.
Well if you enjoy dark wizardy and wizard battles this is one for you, though you should read the first trilogy, of course.
Once again, in this particular edition of The Legends, we get to have the authors riding along with us giving us droplets of backstory and history behind the stories, much like a commentary on a DVD movie. Excellent!
I purchased this after already having bought the paperbacks a number of years prior. Well worth the money. A hardback of this edition is also available as the paperbacks don't hold up that well being so large.
*This review is being brought over from an old account.
Legends.......2006-02-24
I must say, the added MW and TH comments and their views was a good addition to this book. If you haven't read the originals, you should pick those up first before reading this one. It may ruin the end for you.
Great Fantasy Novel.......2005-11-27
First off, the notations are for the most part pretty useless. If it is your first time reading the Legends, I suggest not reading the notations at all, they give away too much foreshadowing.
The Legends series is the best Dragonlance series in my opinion. The charactors have good depth, and just enough is kept out so that the next plot twists are not over exposed. Raistlin is especially great, one of my more favorite literary characters. Tas is overly silly, and Cameron to transparent. The plot line is a little out there, and not very intuitive, but it is decent. It really is the characters and well described landscapes that keep this together. Any D&D fan will find this well worth the time.
Excellent and engrossing story, poor commentary.......2005-07-12
Let's face it: The Dragonlance books will never be classic literature. Weiss and Hickman might make a decent writing team (Weiss can apparantly hold Hickman in check while Hickman can moderate Weiss' tendancy towards over emotive writing), but they're certainly not the best.
This story, though, the three books that make up the Legends Trilogy, are an excellent sequal series to the truly excellent Chronicles. Though they do tend to fall into the trap of "last time . . ." repetitiveness and tell vs. show, for the most part, the books are engrossing and extremely interesting. Character development is the name of this game rather than the overarching, "zoomed-out" approach of the original Chronicles. Characters that we barely got to know the last time begin to really grow and evolve into something other than their archetypes.
Caramon, the big burly "meat-shield" (if I may borrow an RPG term) warrior type was originally nothing more than a head clunking, thick headed, but exceedingly loyal puppy with a sword character: albeit an entertaining one. When we are reintroduced to him in the opening chapters of Legends, we find not the brash young warrior that he used to be, but a slovenly, drunk shell of a man, mourning the loss of a brother that we know is willing and able to tear his twin brother to shreds. We see Caramon hit absolute bottom (we konw this because the authors so kindly tell us so) early on and then begin the slow, arduous crawl out of his pit and into an even darker time of his life where he must confront the twin he used to protect lovingly and confront himself as well.
Raistlin, the twin brother of Caramon, whom we all know was at least a bit megalomanaical, is pushed so far into his archetype (but never stereotype) by the authors that the reader is utterly astonished when the full details of his plans come to light. Delighting in cruelty and complete control, Raistlin leads those who serve him straight into hell (literally) while they follow along gleefully, caught up in his strange charisma like moths drawn to a flame. The change in Raistlin, if one can even identify such a change, happens suddenly and tragicly.
Tasslehoff is again along for the ride as comic relief, but we are given the chance to look deeper into the sticky-fingered little thief than before, revealing a great wealth of character and fortitude that could only be guessed at before. Sure, he has more than his fair share of one-liners, but Tasslehoff manages to grow beyond his comic relief role into a wonderful and lovable character.
The plot itself is complicated, extensive, and well planned out if fumbled only occasionaly. I've found that afer three run-throughs, I've managed to wrap my head around everything that's going on in this book and, though as I said it's not "literature" in the strictest sense of the word, it's certainly interesting. Time travel, always a sticky subject for fantasy and science-fiction writers, is the main plot element, but it almost never becomes the main theme. That the characters have traveled back in time centuries into the past is nearly besides the point. The thematic elements are always centered around dysfunctional relationships, love, hate, lust, and adventure. The backdrop of pre-Cataclysmic Istar (which is a vaguely obvious metaphor for organized and traditional church structures in the modern world) merely reflects and parallels the emotional and social troubles of the heroes.
There is a major drawback to this edition of the novels, however. The notations -- which in the Annotated Chronicles were interesting, logical, and relavent -- are intrusive and stupid at times. Tracy Hickman seems absolutely determined to claim credit for the entirety of the Dragonlance saga and link it inextricably to his own Mormon faith (though the connections are tenuous at best). Weiss, on the other hand, comes through again with her usual style and intelligence providing usefull and enlightening commentary along with Michael Williams (the poet of the Dragonlance Saga).
Four stars for the story itself, but only two for this particular edition.

Book Description
Slavery came to North America via Virginia in the early 1600s. It would be two hundred and sixty-five years before the practice would finally come to an end. It would take another one hundred years before the basic civil rights of those former slaves and their descendants were fully established in law. During that time and thereafter, it would be a matter of attitude and acceptance by the white race.
Of the years, there were a number of pivotal events that shaped the issues and the responses to slavery and civil rights. The Atlas presents a number of these events in an attempt to tell part of the history of the march for equality in America. It also includes brief biographical sketches of the lives of many of the leading figures that led the fight. This work deals with black Americans or blacks, a term that has become synonymous with the Negro race itself; their struggle out of slavery; and their quest for acceptance and equal rights under the law.
The effects of slavery were all pervasive. Without an understanding of and an appreciation for slavery, segregation, and the struggle for equal rights, it is difficult if not impossible to understand the America of our history and to reach beyond where we are today to arrive at where we need to be.

Book Description
The early fifteenth century witnessed the first attempt made by ordinary lay people - merchants, scriveners, craftsmen - to write their own history, in the so-called 'London chronicles', which have had a profound effect upon the growth and development of London. The earliest of the extant chronicles represents the first generation of historical writing to be undertaken in English since the Anglo-Saxon chronicle, and reflects an important shift in the movement from a primarily oral to a literate culture. However, despite their significance for evidence of this change, and as a secular and largely vernacular voice, much about the London chronicles remain a mystery. This study, the first for over 80 years, includes manuscripts unknown to Kingsford in his 1913 survey, studies them in relation to each other, and draws together what can be known about their origins, purpose and effect upon their audience. It also provides an annotated edition of the previously unpublished text of Bradford, West Yorkshire Archives, MS 32D86/42, while a selection of crucial events recorded in the chronicles -- such as the Rising of 1381 and Cade's Rebellion -- is presented in an appendix.MARY-ROSE McLAREN gained her Ph.D. from the University of Melbourne.
