by David Eddings
Ha ha! I think these books were where I first read the word "sardonic." That's hilarious.

rating:
recommended for: young teens
Get ready for the overuse of the word "sardonic" and characters who absolutely have to have the last word ("oh, really?" "yes, indeed!" "I thought you might feel that way." "I was born feeling this way.") I have to be loyal to a fellow Reedie, but Eddings takes the easy way out too often, merely stating situations when he could take more pains to show them ("The young boy took her hand with a mournful look in his eyes showing profound love, tinged with hope and fear and a midafternoon's hunger for a good meat pie.") I want to make it clear that I enjoyed the Belgariad and the Mallorean. I just don't really know if I would recommend them to anyone I know right now. Disclaimer: all quotes in this review may be highly inaccurate!
