Polgara the Sorceress

Rating:
Summary: not as good as the rest
Review: I found out about David Eddings in seventh grade and have been caught up in the lives of Garion and his family ever since. However, Polgara's book is a disappointment. I waited for it for so long and, after reading it twice, am unhappy with it. She comes across as whiny and not as powerful as we have been led to believe. The Eddings' humor, which I loved so much in the other eleven books, gets a little old by the end and there are some fairly obvious inconsistancies, both in reference to the previous series and within the book itself-- they seem almost like editing mistakes. The other books far surpass this one in every aspect.

Summary: Faboulous Story. Great prequel to the Belgariad.
Review: In the words of Holy Gorim just before the Angarak Invasion and the Battle of Vo Mibre, "Sacred Polgara", this is a fitting story to a wonderful series. Eddings and his wife have shown the truth behind the beautiful woman whom has given birth to a country and nurtured the lives of a royal line. Get lost in amazement as you realize the intense bond between twin sisters who must be seperated to save the world. Experience the love a mother has for her daughter and feel the embrace of that same mother's warm and she leads her daughter through the emense task that is the life of Polgara the Sorceress. Buy it, read it. Read it again.

Summary: As goog as all the other books from the Belgariad
Review: Still another view from the same Story (with a lot of new small stories), with the same humor as the precedent books.

Rating:
Summary: This is an excellent book
Review: I think that this is a wonderful book. I enjoyed seeing new sides of Polgara and getting the inside view on her story. Many new characters were introduced, and I found them almost universally interesting and entertaining. Unlike some of the other readers who have reviewed this book, I felt it did NOT deteriorate as it went along. If anything, it got better. Thank you, David and Leigh, for another outstanding work.

Summary: Charmingly witty and fun to read.
Review: This is a light easy-to-read kind of book. It's written in a way that is hilarious and exciting at the same time. The Eddings team together to write a brilliant book. Polgara tells the story herself in a witty and funny manner. She is constantly making fun of her father "holy Belgarath." Truly, a charming way to tell a tale.

Summary: A wonderful book.
Review: This is the first Eddings book I have read. I'm hooked! Polgara the Sorceress is the last part of The Belgariad epic. If you haven't read any of The Belgariad books, don't worry this book stands on its own. I would recommend this book to anyone. It has all the ingredients for any great fantasy; magic, adventure, mystery, and humor weaved around unforgetable characters.

Summary: goes without the others!
Review: this was one of the best books i've ever read ... keep finding new stuff in it with every new read ... you don't have to be 'in' the other books to get to the heart of this one ... it's simply the story of an amazing women who is doing a great job ... as for her becoming an 'annoying egoist' - sorry, i didn't find this in her character ... if you read belgariad or malloreon, you won't be able to stop there anyway!

Summary: Awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I first read this book in 5th grade and I loved it from the start. I have read the entire set of books and I can't get enough of them. Polgara is the most wonderful person and she gives the story an extra kick. David and his wife have really outdone themselves with this one!

Summary: Excellent - have read it about a dozen times!!
Review: This is a fantastic book, as the Duchess of Erat and guardian of the Rivan King Polgara matures and develops well. To those who says it drags - it doesn't at least not to those of us who are interested in what happened with Garion's ancestors.

It's a great book and the Eddings's should be proud!!
