Title: Eddings, you owe me 2 hours of my life back!
Review: I have read every book the Eddings' have ever written besides "The Redemption of Athalus(sp?)" - I couldn't keep reading after a couple hours. I grew up on this stuff and that is why the "trend-of-similarities" that actually developed with the two Sparhawk series infuriates me. Every reader has biased expectations, that is to be expected - the Belgariad and even the Mallorean were very good. But its obviously not just me, everone seems to realize that all of these characters have been created on some quickie assembly line.I just want to ask the Eddings' a few questions: Why do your characters all act and sound the same in every book? Why is there always that same magic jewel? Why do all your characters have the same annoying speeches and retorts going back to the original series? Why Gods in every book? You should start writing only for Harry Potter fans - if they can stand something so patronizing and childish.
Is the review positive or negative?
