This is about an orphaned boy of a mystic mage of sorts, and a cleric. He is left crippled and sent to live with an aged friend of his late Father. In a matter of time his protector and father of sorts is killed by a villian, thus leaving him alone once more. He goes to live in the temple that his father once frequented and learns a great secret. Using his newfound abilities he becomes a hero. I'll leave out the better details. You'll have to read to find out!

This is good for relaxing on a cold winter's day, or a hot summer's day. It can even be packed for a trip to the park or the lake for a bit of light reading.

I was enthralled to read about how this disadvantaged boy overthrows all odds.

I was disappointed when the story ended. I wanted more.

When I finished The Highwayman, my first thoughts would be for R.A. Salvatore to write an extended version or maybe a sequel.

I truly enjoyed this book. I felt very satisfied after reading it.

The great R.A. Salvatore!

It is a truly great read. I've loaned it out to all my friends and family. I just think everyone should read it.
