MAGICIAN'S GAMBIT

Rating:
Summary: Magician's Gambit
Review: This book the Magician's Gambit is an entertaining fantasy book wriiten by David Eddings. Being the third book in the series of 5 the characters are well developed and the dialouge between the characters is humerous and entertaining. The plot is interesting and the Will and the Word system of magic is another look on things from the usual wands and magic words of other fantasy novels. The action flows in well with the social part of the book. The wide spectrum of cultures in the book are interesting from xenophobic canabals to economicly driven empires. Overall the book Magician's Gambit and series the Belgeriad is a very fun read.

Summary: FUN ON SEVERAL LEVELS
Review: This is one of several books by Eddings in a continuing saga,"The Belgariad" and "The Malloreon." The entire series can be read for several different reasons. First, they are simple and just fun to read. Secondly, some of the writing is so bad, that it is an absolute delight. I rently hand a proglong illnes, and for lack of anything else to do, started reading both series again. Upon finishing, I was able to find over 200 discrepancies in the story line. I have no doubt, with a third reading, I could find more. BUT...as I said, they are a fun read. The character developement is great and the banter between the characters is wonderful. I recommend these books.
