Belgarath the Sorcerer

Rating:
Summary: A Well Crafted and often Humorous Novel of Sorcerers & Magic
Review: This book gives us an outline of Belgarath's life. Of course, due to his age (7000 years), we do not read about every little thing that ever happened to him. It presents a balanced portrait of the man. While it informs us on the many good deeds he has performed, it also shows us the dark side of his character. We are shown that despite his great power and the unbelieveable adventures he has had, Belgarath is just as human as the rest of us. The best example of this, is his reaction to the deatjh of his wife. It is written in the form of his memoirs, and the book is infused with a great sense of humour. You wiil keep turning the pages of this well crafted novel until you reach the end, then you will turn back to page 1 and begin again.

Summary: Excellent ending to a triumphent saga!
Review: Belgarath tells an amazing story, filling in many gaps which we now know were placed on purpose. Excellent work David Eddings!

Rating:
Summary: wonderful!!!!
Review: It fully explained Belgarath's life, the history of the world, and left enough gaps to make you want to read the sequal, "Polgara: The Sorceress", just to see what he forgot after all those years.

Summary: Um - I read it a while ago - but as I remember it
Review: This is a great book. Not only for story, but in its characters. Eddings creates characters that are believable, and likeable. Their conversation gets to the point that you feel like your listening to friends talk, and sometimes you even know how they are going to react to one another. One thing i enjoyed about this book was the fact that it was written in the style of Belgarath, not in Eddings own style. His asides and apologies to the readers (most notably C'Nedra) cracked me up. Anyhow, do yourself a favor and read The Belgariad and the Mallorean if you already haven't, then make sure to read this. It is definitely worth your time.

Summary: Well worth the wait
Review: The crowning achievement of both the Belgariad and the Mallorean. I was waiting for this book since I was quite young and picked up "Pawn of Prophecy" at the store. I waited until I thought I was going to explode for each new book in the series to come out, and after waiting soooo long, all I can say is it was worth every moment! This series of twelve books is my most precious collection in my stacks of books, they make me laugh, shout for joy, weep tears of sadness and brings me into a world as real as the one you ar I live in. I love them all, Durnik, Barak, Silk, Garion, Ce'Nedra and all the rest....yes you too Yarblek. If I could do but one thing in this life it would be to seek out Mr. Eddings and thank him for writing such a series of books that has made my life better by reading them over and over again. Thank you!!!!!!!

Summary: BEAUTIFULY WRITTEN
Review: Belgarath the Sorcer was a great book. I liked how it showed things from belgaraths point of view. The bad thing about the book was that it went through a long period of time. I know it told you it was going to do this but i still don't agree with his methed's. If i spelled anything wrong do not blame me i'm only 12

Summary: Gripping!!!
Review: This book is by far Eddings' greatest endeavour. The complete story of Belgarath the sorcerer fills in the gaps left in The Belgariad and The Mallorean and shows the reader where Belgarath's attitude and fairly strong opinions come from. I couldn't put it down.

Summary: AWESOME!!!
Review: This book was really cool. I love fantasy books and this is my all time favorite except for Polgara the Sorceress. I think it's great that he wrote the story from Belgarath's point of view. I hope he writes many more books that are as good as this one! READ THIS BOOK IT'S EXCELLENT!!!

Rating:
Summary: Comically Entertaining!!!
Review: Let me start off simple. I liked this book. While it will not satisfy that demon in you that wants realism and balltes and betrayal that is believable, it is a rather humorous account that spans an incredible amount of time, which is interesting, being read by us humans who have so little of it in the scheme of things. Eddings manages to contain well-placed humor and seriousness within this book that draws you in. While Belgarath the Sorceror will not go down in history as one of the best fantasy books, neither will it's author, who is normally only meager at best. But this is quite realistically one of his greatest works and worth a look.
