Kurzbeschreibung
Piers Anthony
Long ago, the Storyteller claimed, in this first book of THE BELGARIAD, the evil god Torak drove men and Gods to war. But Belgarath the Sorcerer led men to reclaim the Orb that protected men of the West. So long as it lay at Riva, the prophecy went, men would be safe.
But Garion did not believe in such stories. Brought up on a quiet farm by his Aunt Pol, how could he know that the Apostate planned to wake dread Torak, or that he would be led on a quest of unparalleled magic and danger by those he loved--but did not know...?

Kundenrezensionen
I have seen several previous reviewers complain about the predictable storyline and lack of intricacy in the plot. And hey, I agree. These books are NOT written to be complex; they are written to be FUN. I have read the Belgariad and Mallorean more times than I can count, and they are both extremely enjoyable, and at times, touching. Eddings has a flair for writing dialogue that brings his characters to life. On the downside, those characters are mostly static, and rarely change - their personality types are set in stone, and their interactions are almost always the same. Occasionally, however, Eddings will surprise us and reveal a facet of a character's personality that we have not previously seen.
This particular book is actually a bit slow, and not really all that much Cool Stuff (TM) happens. In the second book and onwards, Eddings describes the magic and lands of his world, and I must say that they are both extremely interesting.
If you are looking for a deep, intricately woven plot that has turns within turns, I would suggest picking up Tad Williams' Memory, Sorrow and Thorn trilogy or George R. R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series. If, however, you are looking for a rollicking, fun adventure then I can wholeheartedly suggest the Belgariad, starting with Pawn of Prophecy.
The book itself ... don't you just hate it when the plot depends on such artificial devices like "Oh I am so noble I won't kill this man, even though he is obviously (for the rest of the book and then some) going to go out of his way to make life miserable for me and my friends, and preferrably kill us if he can." and "Gee, I think I'll take the long way round, since some people's feelings will get hurt if I take the shortcut, even though the fate of the universe depends on me getting to my destination in time."
Also, and this unfortunately applies to the later and far better books in this series as well, Eddings is so deep into "properness" like gender stereotypes, parental authority and kinging and queening that it gets downright annoying at times.
On the good side, Eddings has a fluent prose which makes the books an easy read, and he has the occasional deep observation made through Garion. But these benefits really don't get to the fore until the later books in the series.
