Summary: Great reading
Comment: I have read everything I can find by Tolkein. I have read all I can of Tad Williams. I have read hundreds of books in this genre and I can say this series is excellent. This genre is popular because it requires an imagination, and it is there for the readers to have a good time, not to make literary students of all of us. I don't give a damn for character development and plot - I want something that is going to take me away and let my imagination go on a ride. Eddings did brilliantly with this. The last few books were so fast paced, I couldn't put them down. I can't wait to begin reading the Mallorean. If a person wants to do some seriouse literary reviewing then try a different Genre.

Summary: What is all this moaning about?
Comment: I can't QUITE understand the points some of us are trying to get across here. Immature writng? Far from, i completely disagree, I would say the Belgariad as a whole (And this book in particular) is probably some of the best stuff i have ever written. And as for some of the other suggestions people have had, well.. Lord of the Rings had our characters spending the first 1,000 pages doing, erm, well... nothing? and how about the Wheel of Time where are *Ahem* supposed heroes spent 150 pages doing, erm, nothing? Tw's excellent MS+T series is about the only one i would agree with - this one does come close to Eddings writing. Also, George RR Martin's Game of Thrones would be another good tale. At least this book has characters you can like - with the wheel of time I hated it nearly half the time any character spoke! This is certainly some of, if not THE best fnatasy I have ever read.

Summary: 50 pages without the fluff.
Comment: The Belgariad series ends with a fluffed up book. While the finally apocalyptic battle between Garion and Torak is exciting, the end of it is somewhat cheesy. The worst part of the book is the useless fluff written in order to extend the ending into a full-fledged novel.
Going into the fifth book, the reader knows that Garion and Torak will fight an epic battle. What the reader shouldn?t have to do is drudge through the micro-management of an army travelling, nor read about how a queen runs a country that has nothing to do with the story anymore. Unfortunately, that?s half the book. Most of the rest of the book is Garion, Silk, and Belgarad travelling. Like usual, they travel, almost face capture or death, and escape. The same sort of thing that happened in the last four books. It seems like Eddings really wanted to extend this series to five books no matter how useless the material was.
Other than that, Eddings does retain his readability, and his imagination is as good as ever. I recommend this book, however, as it tidies up the prophecy nicely.
