He's not wrong. I tried to read Autumn Twilight a few years back and it was painful how simplistic it was. As a teen, I thought it was amazing, but now I see it as it was: A simple retelling of a D&D campaign. The characters are still great though.
This is coming from a guy that owned every single DL book written before the fifth age stuff.

I got them all in hardcover. I might crack it again just to see what you guys are talking about. I wanted a true ending to the Raistlin storyline. I even bought other tangentially related books he had appearances in from timelines further into the future. Some a matter of months, and one was a matter of decades later in the timeline. A few of those cameo appearances really stick out in my mind more than Autumn Twilight. or anything from the trilogy.
Although it seems everybody here including myself was a child reading Dragonlance. So I won't take much convincing.

Nothing wrong with simple stories - they have their place and their audience. Good story, nice world - compelling characters... Even if its just something that gets people into a genera- that's good.

I don't want it to seem like I'm insulting the books. They are great for what they are, and influenced who I am as a person in various ways, but they are simplistic and don't hold up as well as an adult once you've been exposed to better crafted works.

The Kagonesti (wood elves) and all of the books with Khellendros(sp?) The blue dragon really stand out to me. I never really latched on to the main heroes.
loved the dragonlance books.
met hickman and weis at a gencon in the 85 when they had just finished writing/publishing the first trilogy, i was -as far as they knew- the first person to buy and read the last book of the trilogy-dragons of spring dawning-public sale that is. they had a few thousand of the books at gencon for sale. release date was like a week or two after gencon
liked the first dune books will see this if it is good.

Dragonlance books are what got me into fantasy and rpgs.
I was also very into Count Strahd von Zarovich and the Ravenloft novels.
Some good memories there.
Also where is the trailer....tired of holding in both excitement and fecal matter. Gotta have both ready to go in this day and age.

In case you didn't know: they sent Lord Soth into Ravenloft for at least one book and it is pretty good.

Very envious. Loved the hell out of Dragonlance, the novels and the inspired adventures for AD&D.
Not sure if any of you have read the Death Gate Cycle by them but I can't recommend it enough.
