Book Review: Ground breaking Fantasy!

This epic five book series - along with the next 5 book series that completes Edding's series - is one of my all-time favorite fantasy authors of all time.
If you love epic storylines and the most colorful characters - then this series is for you.
David Eddings is at the top of his game here.
Book Review: Amazing
Summary: 5 Stars
The Belgariad and the Mallorean Books are very well written. The beginning starts off a bit slow but once you get past that the book get very interesting and you don't want to put it down. I also like that if you read the Belgariad that you don't right away have to read the Mallorean. Both are great books to read and should be enjoyed by all.Book Review: The most entertaining reading ever.
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this series. It is the best fantasy series ever written, in my opinion. It is clean (a rare thing in modern literature), the characters are very real and lovable, the storyline is logical and makes sense, and Eddings writing is witty and clever.
Possibly the most intriguing aspect of this series is the mechanism and function of magic. It is really logical and consistent (unlike Harry Potter, for example, where magic is invented or neglected at the author's convenience without any sense or pattern.)
The author makes complex and multi-dimensional characters come to life in a complex and moving world. His sensible and clever dialogues really drew me in. Great series.
Book Review: Great Fantasy
Summary: 5 Stars
David Eddings is a masterful fantasy writer. He brings together great story telling, wonderful characters, and gripping action. Although this is an archetypical fantasy it is nevertheless a fresh and amazing read. I would reccomend this to readers of all ages as a wonderful fantasy epic that is sure to delight.Book Review: Humorous and Entertaining-An Epic Quest of Good Versus Evil
Summary: 5 Stars
Eddings has a remarkable ability to bring his characters to life through well written dialagues and narrations. Between his well written and highly entertaining scenes and intruiging dialogue, Eddings has managed to bring a distinctive and remarkable flavor to quest fantasy. There is never a dull moment in these novels, and the further you are into it, the harder it becomes to put it down. Even more interesting is Edding's ideas of sorcery and the development of his characters, especially Garion. All in all, Eddings has managed to create a masterpiece of fantasy, and in this volume lies three vastly interesting tales of epic fantasy.
