Better than the movie

Poor man's Terry Pratchett, there were a couple of glimmers in there but on the whole it didn't work for me. I understand other books from Holt are better starting points but I already had this in my library from long ago.

Starts kind of meh but picks up towards the middle, both comically and narratively.

I liked the first two books better but this is a good conclusion regardless.

Gold old fantasy, all the classical elements in place. Not many surprises but David Eddings' prose is frank and at times funny. The naive nature of the tongue in cheek dialogue between the characters would usually bother me but hey, the world is ugly lately and it was more of a comfort than anything.

If you are looking for traditional fantasy getaway with easy flowing plot go ahead and pick up this first book of the trilogy.

This was left at my house and I gave it a shot. I couldn't bear the unnecessary descriptions, the memories and flashbacks.

I stopped reading and won't read it. It is not bad. It's just very sub-par.

Must read if you are into non fiction Turkey politics and current affairs.
