	Carpe Datum: The Belgariad
		I dont know what you people are talking about the Belgariad is one of the best series i have read i even think it is better than Tolkien's lord of the rings.
		Other than that, the Belgariad has some fresh ideas with developed characters and depth to support it.
		Watching Garion grow though all the books, watching his hardships and success and the deeper definition of older characters absolutley attract me. I'm currently re-reading the series and it's interesting to see the link between the ''Belgariad'' and the ''Malloreon'' as well as ''Belgarath'', ''Polgara'' and the ''Rivian Codex''.

	Raven's Reviews: David Eddings
		The first cycle, "The Belgariad" (and sequels), is a classic good versus evil quest-epic in which the gods use human avatars to do their bidding.
		The story expands and shrinks, spending chapters on a single year and a page on a few centuries, but the overall effect is one of seeing Polgara's life through her own eyes.
		The history behind many events in the Belgariad are disclosed, yet this book does not, as many prequels do, feel so predetermined that it cannot form a life of its own.

		If you haven't read the series which accompany it - that is, The Belgariad and The Mallorean - then you are missing on a wonderful story indeed :D. Belgarath the Sorcerer is not a dull autobiography on Belgarath's life, it's the sort of funny, sarcastic humour that really brings it to life.
		This book provided a brilliant end to the Belgariad and Mallorean (even though it is a prequel you should read it after you have read the other books) and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
		I suggest that anyone planning on reading this book should read the Belgariad and Mallorean first, not because Belgarath the sorcerer is difficult to follow, but because reading this first may ruin these two series as it gives quite a lot away (only if you plan on reading the belgariad and mallorean.

	Belgariad
		Thus begins the first book of The Belgariad, a magnificent epic of immense scope set against a history of seven thousand years of the struggles of Gods and Kings and men-of strange lands and events-of fate and a prophecy that must be fulfilled!
		This carries on the magnificent epic of The Belgariad, begun in Pawn of Prophecy and Queen of Prophecy, a fantasy set against the background of a war of men, Kings, and Gods that had spanned seven thousand years-a novel of fate, strange lands, and a prophecy that must be fulfilled!

	The Belgariad - :: LEAST I COULD DO FORUM::
		I enjoyed the Belgariad, the Mallorean was similar, but suffered from being blatantly nice in parts.
		The two Sparhawk series had too many echoes of the Belgariad in them - chasing after blue stone etc - to be excellent, but they were much grittier.
		Althalus was crap - almost the same as the Belgariad and Mallorean tales from a different perspective, or so it felt.

	This is book three of five in The Belgariad series
		The young spoiled Imperial Highness of Tolnedran, introduced in book two of the Belgariad series, begins to take an interest in Garion, even though he makes her crazy with anger.
		She reminds herself that he’s just a simple farm boy and beneath her until one day she learns there may be more to him.
		This one introduces a bit more horrendous acts of brutality though, causing one to sigh and shake their head at what humans are capable of.

		One thing led to another and soon after Garion and Mister Wolf got back to the farm he, his Aunt Pol, Mister Wolf and Durnik, a smith with a heart of gold are off on an adventure to seek somethingsomething that has been stolen.

		He writes real growth and dotes loving care on his characters: the changes they undergo through the course of the ten novels of the Belgariad and the Malloreon are believable, understandable, acceptable, rather than visceral and awkward (Terry Goodkind, take note).
		Eddings' books are also something of a quest story with a travelogue in the world he created -- in the Belgariad he leaves no country untouched in the western continent; in the Mallorean the characters go to every major district in "boundless Mallorea" and his other series (Tamuli, Elenium) are similar.
		That said, the Belgariad is the first, the most original and probably the best farmboy-saves-the-world quest of the genre.

	EN World - Morrus' D&D / d20 News & Reviews Site - The Belgariad-Saga
		I enjoyed the Belgariad Saga even though there were some plot holes you could drive a truck through.
		The Belgarath and Polgara books are exceptions since they're written as quasi-autobiographies, but the Elenium, Tamuli, Belgariad, and Malloreon are the same plot and Eddings admits as much in those campaign notes of his they published.
		The characters and setting of the Sparhawk books are a bit more mature (although the Belgariad setting isn't kids' stuff either) but I felt they had a lot less oomph in the conclusions.

	The Belgariad / The Mallorean (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Recently revisiting this old genre, I found Eddings books to be even closer to my own sensibilities than Brooks' - here is a world with a vivid sense of humor, lusty sexual implications, great personalities, and a clear philosophy guiding the characters and their actions.
		But, as I finished the Belgariad, I saw another book on my shelves - Guardians of the West, the first book of The Mallorean, a series I evidently only begun back in 1994 (or so) and never finished.
		Seeing as the Mallorean is a natural extension of the actions we see in The Belgariad, I snapped up 4 out of the 5 Mallorean books - however, the last in the series (damn hard to find, too), The Seeress of Kell eludes me still.

		I believe that the Belgariad and Mallorean are a great place to start if your just getting into fantasy novels.
		But saying that i do return to Eddings quite a lot, have read The Redemption of Althalus a couple of times although most people say its one of the worst books they have ever read.
		The Belgariad was excellent when I read it at the time, with some great use of magic, excellent characters (Silk is da man..) and many laugh-out-loud scenes.

	Scifi and Fantasy Forum: Books and Book Reviews: David Eddings:Archive through Oct 14, 2002
		Personally i think this series comes close to tolkeins (the belgariad)but it is usefull to have a skim through the past of the land (some book i brough includes in depth hitory of most the lands) it makes the story that much easier to understand.
		Yeah, but seeing the Belgariad, the mallorean, the Tamuli trilogies, i find that most of them are virtually the same in storyline basis.
		In my opinion this too is better than the Belgariad, or the Mallorean, or the Tamuli or any of the others.

	QUEEN OF SORCERY Book Two of The Belgariad David Eddings Ballantine Books 1982 PB 327 ISBN
		Multiple adventures are found for Garion and his companions in this story, and he is almost able to enjoy them if it weren’t for the power growing in him, forcing him into acts of wizardry, the dark shadow appearing to him from time to time, and the voice speaking to him inside of his head.
		This second book continues the journey of the Belgariad set in strange, warring lands with the evil God Torak growing closer to waking and seeking dominance over the world.
		As with the first book of The Belgariad, this book is an entertaining Fantasy tale.

		The Belgariad, Part Two was planned by Del Rey as a counterpart to the publication of The Belgariad, Part One in 1995.
		The book in question is The Belgariad: Part 2, published in 1984 by Nelson Doubleday, Inc., by an arrangement with Del Rey; ISBN 1-56865-038-8.
		The Rivan Codex was the preliminary work that the Eddings' did when preparing to write The Belgariad back in the early 1980s (and again in the mid-1980s for The Malloreon).

		Do read Belgariad first though, the Mallorean is the "sequel"; and as I recall it helps to have the background info.
		The Belgariad and the Mallorean where both interesting and amusing, but they are pretty much a similar story.
		I also think that Eddings uses traveling way too much...I mean all of his stories have his characters traveling all over the world, trying to get back magic artifacts that could save the world or be used against something that could ruin it.

		Polgara, the sorceress, daughter of Belgarath and Poledra, Duchess of Erat and guardian of the heir to the Rivan throne.
		She, like her parents and her heritage, is larger than life and leaves a mark on her world that adds one more dimension to the unceasing struggle between Light and Dark.
		Nothing can describe this last in the Belgariad and Malloreon sagas better than the sentence at the end of the inside cover of the book itself.

		And David Eddings begins Volume I, Book I of the Belgariad with a biggie - the battle between Good and Evil, fought by the most obvious of opponents.
		There are few shades of gray; one is either a supporter of one destiny or another.
		This particular series, the Belgariad, is probably the best of Eddings' work.
