Book Reviews of The Rivan Codex: Ancient Texts of THE BELGARIAD and THE MALLOREON
Book Review: A great follow up, for those who want to know
Summary: 5 Stars
I first must place my displeasure of all those who think is is a bad book. SCREW OFF!!! This is the kind of book for those who want to make an Eddings theme MUD, or who want to write a story in the same world (not to be published without the sayso of David of course). It may not be an actual story, but it great for people who just want to know other things. Though i think the next Eddings book should be about the history of the Ulgos, that would make for an interesting story for sure.Book Review: waste disposal unit
Summary: 1 Stars
David Eddings has always been an arrogant jerk. This is not an opinion, this is a fact. This book manages to capture that smug attitude and arrogance, and combine it with a load of the most boring reading you will ever come across. he finally admits that he could care less about the genre, and writes to make money - and then goes on to tell the readers that they can't do, they don't have "it" like he does, and to give up.Oh, yeah. And he provides some back writing for his little fantasy world which pays his bills. Not terribly interesting reading, mind you - this is no Silmarillion - and this is supposed to be complete. Heck, at least Tolkien had a good excuse to publish incomplete writings that were not up to par with his best stuff...he was dead.
This is milking it. And it comes as no surprise from the jerk who is David Eddings.
Book Review: Borish, pedantic nonsense!! DO NOT BUY!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
David Eddings is easily one of the best living fantasy authors around, but this is ridiculous. The Rivan Codex is far too detailed to be enjoyable, and it serves only to recount and clarify aformentioned events that Eddings has already written ENOUGH about. Die-hard Eddings fans want NEW material, not old stories retold!Book Review: it is a VERY VERY BAD BOOK
Summary: 2 Stars
The only saving thing about this book is that it is written by david/leigh eddings.After 13 books in the series it is getting boreing.This book is just everything in the other books without one thing it is not a story. I salute the eddings couple for trying to milk money out of the belgaraid but enough is enoughBook Review: Warning: This is not a story!
Summary: 3 Stars
This book is for die hard fans of the belgariad and the mallorian only. It is more like an encylopedia than a book, it is a very detailed history of Garion's world, but it is a bit boring at times
