Title: New ideas wanted!
Review: You liked the Belgariad and the Malloreon? Keep it this way. Belgarath the Sorcerer will reveal nothing new despite going a way back into the future. At least nothing you wouldn't expect. I also don't recommend this book as a starter to fiction reading. I believe only desperate readers continue with Belgarath, Polgara or the Rivan Codex.
