Summary: Smooth as Silk
Review: I don't know what it is about David Eddings that keeps you glued to his books. Is it his plots? No, they tend to be overly complex, even if they are linear. Is it his narrative? While he is definitely entertaining, Mr. Eddings often drags the story out a bit too long (hence, two 5-part series). Maybe it's the dialogue? It is, after all, highly witty.No, what keeps me turning page after page are Mr. Eddings' characters. I don't recall ever having a fondness even remotely close to what I have with Garion, Belgarath, Pol, and Silk. That's why this book stands out as my favorite of any of his novels. This book best demonstrates the bravery, yet naivete of Garion while contrasting Ce'Nedra's strength against her fragility. It defines the true roles of their companions and sets up the confrontations and fates that await them. It goes beyond what most fantasy novelists write and gives us a truly fantastic epic. Read this book. Every page is worth it.

Summary: The story great! The characters lovably! Never dull!
Review: I enjoyed this book, this series, and has become one of my favourites. It is is light or heavy read depending on how much you want to get out of it. His characters have believable personalities, especially the ones who have lived thousands of years. Belgarath and Beldin have enough sceptisism and hope in their characters to make them truely lovable. The story itself is full of twist that kept me coming back. The only disapointment was Errand/Eriond, I guessed his fate before the end, but still wasn't to big of a disapointment, it finished so well. Eddings will be hard pressed to dupicate the sucess of this series. I hope he writes more with these characters. Did I detect a bit of sarcasism ? Mr. Eddings Thank you.

Summary: Not the top, but good
Review: I found this series very good. Not as good, perhaps, as a few other fantasy series I've read, but good nonetheless. David Eddings is a refreshing writer who does not fill up his books with swears and unnecessary sexual and nude scenes like so many other fantasy writers do these days. His books are very funny at times, and some of his characters are really well-developed. Others aren't quite so good, but it doesn't matter so much if you are just reading for entertainment. Like another reviewer said, I wouldn't read these books if you were looking for something deep and very well thought out and put together. But for a more relaxing time, I suggest these books, especially if you don't want any of the junk that they tend to put in books these days.

Summary: A fabulous book and series.
Review: I love this series of books. I have read them many, many, many times and I am still reading them. I recommend them to everyone. Very humorous characters. If you are confused about the people read The Rivan Codex, in it David Eddings explains about how he based the characters. Anyway, I LOVE these books. GET THEM! GET THEM! GET THEM!

Summary: GREAT BOOK
Review: I've read all the books in the Belgaraid seris but this one's my favourite!! I was reading the other reviews and I just can't understand how people could not like the book!! But then I'm only a teenager whilst others are adults so my bottom line is: this book is great for younger people because from an adult's point of view the book might be too immature and boring.

Summary: Meeting the Requirements, and Conditions
Review: In the fourth installment of the series everything finally comes together and is getting to the point where everything can escalate into a climatic ending. Finally Garion (and friends) reaches Riva, gets Iron Grip's sword, and becomes who he really is. The requirements of the prophecy have nearly all been fulfilled, and nearly all conditions are met. The only thing that really needs to happen now is the final battles, and the meeting between Garion and Torak. In "Castle of Wizardry" armies are raised, groups split up, the kingdoms of the west unite and Garion, Kheldar, and Belgarath head out for the Mallorean continent to greet Torak with the sword of Iron Grip. A very exciting book that sets up everything for the climax of book five, and instantly captures your imagination, time, and attention, and then won't let go until you've finished the book.

Summary: Belgariad was a pretty good series with a few flaws
Review: It is hard to remember what actions take place in a certain book and I read the entire Belgariad series in 2 days. I don't have a favourite book but I loved the last two books in the series. If you read the first three books (or part 1) then read this book and the next one.
