Summary: A family of characters that you can TRULY love
Review: The Belgariad has a cast of characters that you grow up with, laugh, fight, cry and fear with. Each character has their good and bad sides, just like any family, and they exhibit true personalities. I've envied some, loved others and hated a few; just like life.
Simply put, this is my favorite fantasy! Escapism at it's finest with non-tragic pathos, sublime comedy and a genuinely engaging plot.
A Must.

Summary: This series is king!!!
Review: I will stand by this book until the grave, I mean how many readers have laughed out loud on the train reading a book, reading this series I have more often than I care to admit.
The characters are right on and have stayed consistant over the span of 10 novels, how many other series can boast that?
Just give anyone the first book in the series and have them read it I promise that they will be coming back for the rest of it.
I, in my heart hope that David Eddings lives forever so he can continue to crank out these stories

Summary: David Eddings uses his best story-telling abilities!
Review: David Eddings works his magic in this compendium of his first works in science fiction.
His ability to create characters that have substance draws you into the story. The best parts in this book are when the characters interact. The dialogue breathes life into the characters using emotions and feelings that real people can understand. His dialogues impart this feeling of actually understanding how these characters would see life. David Eddings knows how to create a story that you will want to read and re-read over and over. You have got to read this book

Summary: The magic of David Eddings, and Belgarath
Review: This book is COOL! When reading this book I could not put it down. It drew me in and in to the humor and colourful setting of the book. The wise cracks made in it were magnificent and right up to the end of the series you kept on wondering what Bellgarion had to do. It wasn't just fantasy but also mystery. It had a good plot and now I am waiting on Polgara the Sorceress.
I recomend everyone to read it.

Summary: "The Belgariad" is second only to the works of J.R.R Tolkien
Review: David Eddings took all of my cares and worries away and
placed me in the most amazing fantasy world ever written about. His characters are highly developed and are
easy to identify with.For a while I became Garion and shared his problems and thoughts

It starts with young Garion, a boy being raised by his aunt, as he begins a wonderful, and sometimes dangerous adventure on his search for his true identity.

Along the way, meet: Lady Polgara, the Sorceress; Princess Ce'Nedra, a driad; Silk, a prince of thieves; Durnik, the smith, a man with two lives; Mandorallen, the mightiest knight; and find the stone, for which all men will kill or die. Make friends with a world of great honor and glory that will remain with you always. Good friends can always be revisited. This book makes a great gift for anyone ages 10 to 7000! The second hardcover book of this series is eagarly awaited

Summary: The Friends Inside My Head
Review: How do you describe the sheer delight of having lived with the
characters of the Belgariad inside one's head for the last 8 years? Just like the Friend in Garion's head, the vividness of David Eddings characters speak and their voices can
be heard in my head. With every line of the book, I heard in surround sound, each
character as they spoke and heard every nuance and tone. There
are very few writers in the world who can do that and admittedly,
David Eddings is one of them. A real page-turner, the stuff of dramatic movies and tv series, only all in the head with full stereophonic sound for an audience
of one.

Summary: THIS BOOK IS AWESOME!!!!
Review: I think this book is one of the best Fantasy books that you can buy.
It keeps you reading almost the whole day!!! It is very exciting and you are
always thinking what's going to happen next!! IT starts out VERY ordinary like
nothing is wrong in the world when all of a sudden something goes very wrong, and unless
it's fixed the world will be very unbalanced. I'm not a very good reviewer so,
READ IT!!!!!

Summary: Read it!
Review: The Belgariad starts out as a story about an ordinary child living in an
ordinary world. Even when events begin to unfold, and the world is revealed
as being quite different from our own, the child, Garion, is still quite
recognizable as the boy next door. The series is wonderful, often described
as an "epic," but it is a lot more than that. The Belgariad is the story of
a boy growing into adulthood, learning about his world, and learning to take
responsibility for his actions. As Garion travels through the adult world,
he begins to see that his Aunt isn't just the cook and surrogate mother that
he always believed her to be, she is also a woman with her own life, a life
which he will never completely understand. Later, he beings to realize that he
himself is more than a scullery boy, that he has more in his future than
dirty dishes. The Belgariad follows Garion's feelings from disbelief, to
anger, to a final acceptance. The Belgariad is a great adventure, with fight
scenes for those who like that sort of thing, but never so much gore that
those who don't appreciate violence will be put off. The series is also a
marvelous magical travelogue, with descriptions of places that are never
boring. The characters are heroes, but are also normal human beings, and
their interactions are often hilarious. If you want to get hooked on an
author who has written many other good books (and give up your entire summer
to reading) then you can't do better than to read the Belgariad.
