I'm about half way through the book right now, so will wait to post a more complete review.  However, despite what I was expecting to find, the book is actually... pretty good.  Yeah.  It is.

I got it because I thought it would be a fun thing to have, but didn't have any hopes of it being well written or having anything in the way of a plot.  But it reminds me of the David Eddings Belgariad books.  Not as complex of course, but not that far off the mark either.  All in all, a fun read with some pretty good scenes and enjoyable characters.

Also, could someone let us know exactly what the extra game material is like. Is it a campaign with the same quality as the one in game already or something else?

Make a seperate thread for that this is for constructive book reviews.

It was opened ended making another book a must. I loved it, great read. There really wasnt any slow parts, switching between the characters keep me wanting to read more to find out what happened.

Do people actually read Amazon reviews?

If I was undecided on whether to buy something or not, mostly positive reviews usually push me to pulling the trigger so yeah give it an honest review people.
