Product Description

Product Description

The first part of a saga set against a history of 7000 years of struggles of gods and kings and men. Long ago, the evil god Torak sought dominion and drove men and gods to war. Belgarath the Sorcerer led a quest to reclaim the Orb of Aldur - but so long as it lay at Riva, men would be safe.


Ingram

Garion the farm boy did not believe in magic dooms, but then he did not know that soon he would be on a quest of unparalleled magic and danger when the dread evil God Torak was reawakened. --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Let's face it., Nov. 8 2004
This review is from: PAWN OF PROPHECY (Mass Market Paperback)
Let's face it. David Eddings' storyline sucks. Period. There are so many plot holes and contradictions, I can think of a dozen off the top of my head. But does it matter? Not in the least. Eddings is unique. The way he writes his books is extraordinary. After a few pages, I got totally hooked(hooked enough to buy every single book in both series, 2nd hand of course). I sort of glossed over the story in my mind, and just enjoyed what was being written. Read it, and you'll see what I mean.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Great Series with a great start, Mai 30 2004
Par "kinslayer24" (Hayward, California United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Pawn of Prophecy (Mass Market Paperback)
A Must Read for any fantasy or non-fantasy fan. The book moves along fantastically. It is not overly detailed, and therefor moves along at a great pace.

The story centers around Garion and his mysterious Aunt Pol. The story starts on the farm that Garion grew up in, raised by his Aunt Pol. A few events quickly take place and we are gathered into the story as it moves from place to place in an exciting, but unpredictable journey.

A wide range of characters makes this story great.

Check it out, you wont regret it.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Bread pudding and whip cream, Mai 21 2004
Par Un client
This review is from: Pawn of Prophecy (Mass Market Paperback)
I really like the Eddings books. I've picked them up about 6 years ago and have read the entire series about once a year.

After re-reading Jordan's WOT and reading for the first time Goodkind's SOT, I have to say that if you are die-hard fans of either book, you might not like Eddings. The Eddings' (D and L let's give credit where its due) books are fun; there aren't many grueling plot twists, you don't get the sadistic touch of either RJ or TG, and you don't see much of the evil minds of the malevolent characters. The protagonists are all a pretty happy group and you have a hard time believing that anyone is going to be hurt or killed, much less brutally raped or tortured like SOT and WOT.

The key is, if you're looking for something heavy, slow, dark, with detailed descriptions of every rivulet in a dead tree branch, don't read Eddings. It would be like craving bread pudding and getting whip cream. If you ARE looking for fun, light-hearted, fast moving fantasy with lots of laughs, then buy this book.

I'd advise folks to be careful of people who are really abusive of these books, because after reading their comments I think most of them are bitter RJ and TG readers. Much of what they say is true, but unless you are in the mood to slog through 10000 pages of misery, you won't care if some of the jokes a little corny!
