I lent it to my mother, which was probably a cruel thing now I think about it.
Ow yes, that's cruel! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />
I fear I won't finish it either...
I think I will continue with the Wizard's First Rule-series.
The Belgariad was Eddings' best, I think. After that, it all became extremely repetitive. The plots are all the same, character archtypes are recycled, even certain lines are reused - over and over
and over.
Unfortunately, you'll find that
Sword of Truth series is no less repetitive.
