Polgara the Sorceress

Rating:
Summary: Awesome! A must read for fantasy lovers!
Review: I loved this book because you really feel like you know the characters. It has magic, humor, and a touch of romance. I couldn't put it down. when the character cries, you feel like crying with her, when she speaks, you feel like you are actually listening to her.

Summary: OK SO I'M ROMANTIC.
Review: To start with I would like to say that the Eddings are one of the finest fantasy writers I have ever read. When I picked up this book I was just looking for a new writer to branch into. what I got instead was hooked, and I could not put this book down untill I had read it all it.Which was two days plus rest.Now if you are the type of reader who wants nothing but hack and slash, plus a few fire balls but with no findable or sane plot.(which I am not one of) Put this book down and get lost. But if you like a wonderfull tale that that takes your mind wondering where it may not come back from, then this book is what is definitly for you. I would say this had everything, but that would sound corny.(which it is not) But it is amazingly witty with out making it comic,as it is tragic in places.But as all good fantasy books should,it has that spark of underlying romance and adventure that gets the heart pounding,and the pulse racing.That drives you on and on,and makes you read it again and again. That only the great authors like the Eddings can give and make happen so beautifully.So read this book, and enjoy.

Summary: Good enough, I guess.
Review: I didn t actually read The Rivan Codex or Belgarath the Sorcerer yet, but I found out that Polgara is no match for The Belgariad or The Malloreon series. Especially I hated those exclamations bettween the storrytelling. But as usual I couldn t put the book down untill the end.

Summary: FEMINIST FEMINIST FEMINIST FEMINIST FEMINIST FEMINIST
Review: This book is really good except for the fact that Polgara, literally every other page, throws up her head and says either 'Alorns' or 'men' in an exasperated tone of voice. I mean, COME ON. You can only say men so many times in the book. I am surprised that as a quote on the back of the book it doesn't say."Good but full of 'MEN' and 'Alorns'".

Summary: One of the best books that I have read
Review: This was a very good book. I have read almost all of the books done by David and Leigh Eddings, and I think that this counts as one of the better ones. It gives a good insight to Polgara herself, instead of her just being another one of the characters. A most read for Eddings book lovers.

Summary: It's ok, I guess
Review: I am shocked by how many readers actually hated Polgara... and I can't blame them. I read the Belgariad and the Malloreon and I enjoyed it very much. I like Belgarath, but Polgara? Hmmm... I reckon she should have stayed ugly, it would have been a much more interesting story.

Summary: This is my favorite book of all time!
Review: Polgara is a wonderful, funny, enchanting tale that encompasses far more than either of the two series' in which she appears. Although Polgara can't go back as far as her father, she presents the reader with a view that is unique and riveting. David and Leigh Eddings have really out done themselves here.

Summary: Clashes with other books!!!!!
Review: I will not waste a lot more time on this book. It was extremely disappointing. This book contradicts many "facts" from other books in the series. The book is also laced with poorly thought out comments by the author (Polgera, herself). If you felt that the series was sexist and in desperate need of having the male characters made fools of, then this book is for you. If you enjoyed the other ten (eleven or twelve now) then leave this one alone.

Summary: it was ok...
Review: look, I'm sorry for all the Eddings fanatics out there. I was once one of you too. But I took another look at this one, and guys, the Vo Wacune bit (i.e. the middle) is reeeeaaaallly dull. I love parts of it, but the middle needed to be edited. Eddings started out with good stuff in Belgariad, but Mallorean was a little dull, until your classic Eddings ending. Polgara and Belgarath were better, but not quite up to snuff. Orson Scott Card has written better.

Summary: POLGARA THE SORCERESS...OR FEMINIST?
Review: The book itsel is boring, starting off well with details of Polgara's early life and her connection with her sister Beldaran. Then she goes to Vo Wacune, and everything goes downhill from there. We are treated to her boring account of her rapid rise to power as the Duchess of Erat(with very little actual effort on her part) as we found out that all Arendia loves Polgara because she's so perfect.
