Book Reviews of The Rivan Codex: Ancient Texts of THE BELGARIAD and THE MALLOREON
Book Review: Eddings fans will love it
Summary: 4 Stars
I am amazed at the criticism this book has received. It appears to me that most readers really have no concept of the effort required to produce the multi-volume epics Eddings has written. The introduction may border on arrogance, but the fact that he's right ought to come into consideration. This type of book is rarely published. Its a compilation of notes and studies that form the underlying structure of The Belgariad -- it is not a story in and of itself. True fans of Eddings will love it. Others will not.Book Review: OH DEAR!

I HAVE BEEN AN AVID FAN OF ALL EDDINGS BOOKS UP UNTIL NOW....IN 1990 I READ MY FIST BOOK AND HAVE READ AND REREAD EVER SINCE. WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT BELGARATH AND POLGARA WERE TO HAVE BOOKES DEDICATED TO THEM I WAS DELIGHTED, THEY BOTH TURNED OUT TO BE A JOLLY GOOD READ. THIS BOOK HOWEVER LEAVES ME WITH THE THOUGHT THAT IT WAS WRITTEN TO FILL A QUOTA RATHER THAN WRITTEN FOR THE READER IT IS TEDIOUS AND VERY HARD TO GET INTO ..NO I DID NOT GET TO THE END! THE BOREDOM GOT TO ME FIRST.Book Review: I loved it!

Hey, if you don't like David Eddings attitude, then you don't have to read the book, and you certainly don't need to trash him like that. I loved this book and all the detailed background information it provides. It all makes Garion's world seem more real, and it's fascinating.Book Review: OH DEAR!

It would have been more exciting reading my grandmother'sjournal (Today I had soup for lunch!) No new information about theBelgariad and the Mallorean. Just a condescending essay about how hard it is to write fantasy novels. Well, duh! If it were easy there'd be more of us writing them. Overall, stick to the real novels, Mr. and Mrs. Eddings. We don't want to hear how you connected A to B.
