Rating: Summary: absolutely brilliant Review: all i can say about these books(the entire David Eddings series of books) is that they can be read and re-read any number of times and you will still feel as if you are reading it for the first time. You get caught up in the lives of the characters and once the book is opened you feel as if even the call of supper isn't enough to make you put the book down.
Rating: Summary: At least as good as The Belgariad! Review: But then again - this is David Eddings, and this man IS the best! These books are absolutely fantastic - funny and well written. Everything David Eddings writes - Belgariad & Malloreon + prequels, Elinium and Tamuli - it's just perfect.PS. I know I've written this once, but this time it'll link to my user-site.
Rating: Summary: At least as good as The Belgariad! Review: I have found myself reading and re-reading David Eddings work with great frequency. He writes about believable characters that bicker, pout, and get along much like my friends with whom I grew up. This is not Tolkein. The heroes aren't perfect. Belgarath is about as flawed as they come and is perfectly contrasted by his prudish daughter Polgara. Poor Belgarion is caught in the middle with the way he was raised and egged on by his little queen. This makes for a great comedy. The adventure is almost secondary to the story or as Alfred Hitchcock would put it, the McGuffin; a simple plot device. David Eddings is one of the best writers there is.
Rating: Summary: Top-Notch Fantasy Review: If you enjoy Fantasy, you will love both the Belgariad and the Mallorian. I've read them so many times, I've lost count. So have both my kids. What makes Eddings' books so good is his ability to bring his characters to life. They become more than just fictional constructs - in fact, they become friends.
Rating: Summary: This is best! Review: This is better! then the 5 star Belgarion serie. The characters are so lively. It's more comedy than in a real comedy but also excitement. If you haven't read this do it! But a tip read the Belgarion serie first. For you that have read the Belgarion I just want to say that this is more comedy and less excitement. But at my opinion it is better.
