Summary: The perfect ending!
Review: I simply can NOT see how anyone can just pass judgement on someone else's book. These people who complain that it "isn't good enough for them" or that David & Leigh "repeat too much" have obviously skimmed through the book. I am only 12 and I can see that the Eddings couple writes very deep. Unless you pore through it, their books don't seem that interesting. But when you look deep inside them, it's like a whole new world is opened up. Belgarath the Sorcerer explains so much about the Belgariad and the Malloreon that we wanted to know. I've read the last two books of the Belgariad, the 2nd and 3rd books of the Malloreon, Belgarath, Polgara, and own the complete Elenium and Tamuli and I have NEVER had reason to complain about a single one of them! Though they use what SEEMS to be the same characters, every one of the people David and Leigh create are different. The Eddings couple makes people that seem so real, it's as if they could be in the same room with you, talking to you, and you wouldn't be able to realize that they were characters from a book. Those who say that there are no racial differences obviously do not realize the fact that the Alorns and Elenes are Caucasians and that the Angaraks, Melcenes, Styrics, and Tamuls are Orientals, and those are only a few of the answers I have to the many complaints that I have read. You may think that I am only a silly little girl, but you do not realize that sometimes we children can be as (or more) perceptive than you adults. Have you all forgotten the days of your own youth? Enough, I'm beginning to sound like I'm preaching, but sometimes I just can't help it when people act like this. Let me just say, keep going, David and Leigh, and know that however many peole will whine and complain, there will always be some that help and support, and they're the ones that really matter, aren't they?

Summary: best book I have read for while
Review: Belgarath the Sorcerer is great! It's best for readers who stick with a book even when it gets long and a bit complicated. It gives a profound insight into Belgarath and his origins, and how Aldur's disciples came about.

Summary: Super Viewpoint
Review: This book and Polgara the Sorceress are the only David Eddings books that I like. I love the way Belgarath tells 'himself'!

Summary: Wonderful background for the Belgarion and the Mallorean!
Review: Belgarath was a wonderful addition to Edding's series. I enjoyed reading about the reasoning behind so many of the actions taken by this character over the course of the centuries. Getting an explanation of the behavoir between Belgarath and Polgara from first his point of view and then hers (in Polgara) was a scream. The thing that I think I enjoyed most of all was Belgarath's wonderful sarcasm. He is a wonderfully warm and funny character. I read everything I can find by this author. Enjoy!

Summary: Perfect!
Review: I found the personal viewpoint and pointed asides extremely interesting. I refuse to call it the best book I've ever read, but it ranks very high up there. It fills in most of the gaps in the Belgeriad and Mallorean series, and the few remaing gaps are explained in Polgara the Sorceress. I seriously recommend this book as a valuable addition to anyone's David Eddings collection.

Summary: Belgareth the Sorceror
Review: Eddings has attempted and succeded to bring to view a history of the events leading up to the Belgariad and the Mallorean. Eddings's control of the english language is incredible. If you enjoyed the Belgariad, Belgareth is a must read.-J.C.Allen

Rating:
Summary: A must read
Review: This book is a must read for all who have followed Garrien from the apron strings of Aunt Pol to king and Sorcorer. Written from Belgarath's perspective, which in some cases is a unique perspective. With the matching book "Polgara, the Sorcereress" the complet series is put out for all to see in a concise rendetion.

Summary: Don't bother!
Review: I have read every single book of Eddings' fantasy serieses(except Polgara's story) and I have liked some of them but this book is merely a long overview. There is nothing very amazing and new in this book and it isn't deep story. It was quite boring to read it and it took long time to finish, which is quite unusual for me.
