Summary: Demon! Lord! Karumba!
Review: Do not bother to read this unless you have read the first two books in the series, otherwise it will not make a whole lot of sense. The first half of this book is a little slow as our band of heroes is kept from pursuing Zandramas by Zaketh. Finally, they do get back on the road and the fantasy finally continues. I would give the first half of this book about a C+ and the last half a B+. I found Eddings' portrayal of Zaketh somewhat puzzling. He is the blood thirsty king bent on genocide of the Murgos. However, Garion and his friends then find him rather charming and likeable.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Very Poor!!
Review: Garion's son has been captured and our heroes wander slowly across the countryside to find him. Of course they could all turn into eagles or dragons and catch up but they are too busy being stopped by people that have no power to hold them. They are all basically omnipotent so can snuff out anybody that they don't like. If anybody slightly tough comes along a deity or something will pop up and handle it for them. They all like to make jokes while they slaughter people. In the previous series they went so far as to start a world-wide war just to create a diversion. Avoid this author!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: HOW INTERESTING!
Review: I didn't even considered that there was going to be a Demon Lord in the story. As well as battling against each other. ASTONISHING

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Dissapointed
Review: I fairly enjoyed the Belgariad. On a whole I would give that particular series 3 stars...

However, the Mallorean is just a rehash of the same freaking series. Here is the whole plut of the series thus far

1) Son kidnapped
2) Going after son
3) Stops in First country to talk to someone
4) Durnik goes fishing
5) Stops in country number 2 to talk to someone
6) Ce'Nedra weeps for lost son while Durnik goes fishing
7) Stops in country number three to talk to someone
8) Group travels across sea and Durnik goes fishing
9) Stops in country number four to talk to someone

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Disappointing!
Review: I like the Belgariad series which prompted me to buy the Mallorean series. I am in for an unpleasant surprise.
The first book is OK but the second book fails to deliver. A few times I wanted to quit reading altogether but I carried on hoping the third book will start to redeem the series. I am disappointed. At the end of the third book, which I somehow managed to finish after telling myself several times the plot will start to pick up soon, I have decided to abandon the 4th and 5th book. The plot is dull and repetitive. The characters who manage to shine in the Belgariad series, have become colourless and boring. The dialogue is deadpan and a few times I found myself wanting to hurl the book aside because of the same repetitive comments. The worst is Garian's wife who just irritates me! Yes she is already an irritating spoilt character in the Belgariad series but I have hoped she will become more mature but no such luck! I am hesitating to read the other series by Eddings I bought recently on the merit of the Belgariad series. I should have read the Mallorean series before I venture further into Edding's works. Sigh! I probably will just scan the end of the 5th book just for the sake of finishing the series. A major disappointment!

Summary: The Belgariad Review. Books 1-5
Review: The book series "The Belgariad" is probably the best book series i have ever read in my whole life so far. Dare I say, even better than Harry Potter. Although the series is very long, it's so enthrawling that i read it all in one week. Yes, all five books, in two volumes which are now available to buy. The book has a great deal of characters and it's hard to remember them all and where they come from by the 5th book, "Enchanter's End Game," but as you read along, they come back to you, and because David Eddings is such a good writer, he reminds you who they are avery couple books. The series is amazing. When you read it, you travel into the mind of Garion and his friends and it feels as if you are there, traveling the world with them too. It's an amazing series, and you don't even have to read "Belgarath The Sorcerer," or, "Polgara The Sorceress," to understand those characters, because David Eddings doesn't leave out any details... maybe that's why it's so long. I would definitly recommend everyone to read this, or give it a try, and if you don't like it, you can talk to me.
