Re: David Eddings Fred Gaidin Send a noteboard - 20/03/2011 02:02:44 PM
Have you read anything by Eddings?


Yes. The Belgariad, Malloreon, Elenium, Tamuli, and the Redemption of Althalus

If yes, how long ago did you (first) read it/them?


I read most of them while in high school, sometime in the early 90s.

- Do you reread?


I reread the Begariad sometime in 96 or 97. I once thought about rereading the Malloreon, but I was unable.

- What's your favourite of his series?


Probably The Belgariad or The Malloreon

- Favourite character?


Maybe Silk or Bel'din

- Are the Elenium and Tamuli set in a version of Earth? Or is it a version of the world of the Belgariad and Mallorean?


If no, why not? :P


I think the Elenium is set in its own fantasy world, although the story seems like almost a carbon copy of the Belgariad. In fact, that is the reason I don't read his stuff anymore. After reading The Redemption of Althalus, which was also the same story told in a condensed and nearly unreadable form, I can't read any of his stuff anymore. That includes rereading the Malloreon, a series I enjoyed the first time.

Oh. Totally bad place to start. Rebekah - 16/03/2011 09:45:40 PM 1019 Views
No. Never cared to read it, since I rarely read epic fantasies until 13-14 years ago. *NM* Larry - 16/03/2011 09:33:52 PM 614 Views

If you're remembering sex scenes, odds are it wasn't an Eddings book. *NM* Legolas - 17/03/2011 09:51:54 PM 417 Views

I really liked the first two series but his style got really stale after that *NM* random thoughts - 17/03/2011 01:30:33 PM 423 Views
Makes sense, even though I don't agree with you. *NM* Rebekah - 18/03/2011 02:06:38 PM 431 Views
