Summary: They Saved The Best For Last.
Review: My Dad got me to read the first book in the series when i was 11 years old. Since then i have reread the whole 5 books at least 6 times because they are so good and i recommend them to everyone.

Summary: Eddings is the best...
Review: "The Belgariad" is perhaps the greatest fantasy-saga, and it's close rivals are "The Elenium" and "Tamuli" by the same author. Eddings rules!

Summary: Good fantasy novels, great character development
Review: After reading the five books in the Belgariad series, I have to admit I enjoyed them. I had a hard time giving them four stars, but couldn't quite commit to 3 stars, either. Perhaps it would be best suited as 3-1/2 stars? The characters were wonderfully developed, as was the world in which they dwelt. However, I did find some of the storyline to be a bit conventional. These books are about a boy who is destined to be king and his meeting with that destiny. All in all, I'd reccommend the books.

Summary: I am still the Orb!
Review: I am Belgarion, and I will be the king. I will defeat all the minions of Cthol Mishrak. I have a racecar. VROOM! My friends and I have braved the Cherek Bore and are moving westward. I am destined to find my home in Riva as the wielder of the Orb. I will marry and there will only be one other who will wield the Orb, but he will be in my power. I am destined to find my home in Riva as the wielder of the orb. No one will defeat me!

Summary: The Belgariad
Review: I first bought the complete series at least ten years ago and I re-read the whole set at least once a year! I feel like I know the characters like family! The books are well written, exciting and do not date. Highly recommended.

Summary: Eddings gives a wide range of characters to love and hate.
Review: I love almost all of the Eddings books. The Belgariad series was my first and I followed into the Mallorean and then to The Elenium and Tamule series. The Eddings' supply you with so many wonderful characters to love and hate. Each character has a life of its own and you become part of a close knit community of characters. There are no "perfect" people, everyone has good and bad qualities just like real people. Silk, one of the most charming heroes is also a thief, liar, spy and sometimes killer. These books are well worth the time, money and effort to read.

Summary: A timeless fantasy !
Review: I read The Belgariad over 10 years ago and has just finished reading the series the second time. I find myself enjoying it even more. The story maybe too familiar, good versus evil with a happy ending but I have a weakness for this kind of story. The strength of the series is the development of the wonderful characters, the smooth plot and of course the dry humour. The Belgariad is simply a timeless fantasy to be treasured.

Summary: Good fun....
Review: I've had these five books (and all the other eddings offerings) for a good number of years now. I reread them at least once a year. Eddings develop's characters better than anyone since Robert A. Heinlein (and we all know he is still the King). I have introduced at least five people, "who hate to read", to this series, and in all cases they devoured these books and all the others I have also. Of all the method's of magic that have been expounded in literature over the years, "The Will and The Word", make the most sense to me. I can easily compare these books to Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings", they are that entertaining. I would and do reccommend these books to anyone and everyone.
