5.0 out of 5 stars Top-Notch Fantasy, November 7, 1999

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Typical Eddings: Awesome!, December 8, 1999

Warren C. Lovett,Jr. (Spartanburg, SC) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars absolutely brilliant, April 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Malloreon/Boxed Set (Guardians of the West; King of the Murgos; Demon Lord of Karanda; Sorceress of Darshiva; Seeress of Kell) (Paperback)

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.
