More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Down below in Tacoma, the group around Dan Alders' brother had been held together by a mutual taste for beer, spirits and endless arguments – with a little lying and wife-stealing on the side. But now, high in the mountains on a test of endurance, jealousy is tearing friendships apart.
About the Author
David Eddings was born in Washington State in 1931 and grew up near Seattle. He graduated from the University of Washington and went on to serve in the US Army. Subsequently he worked as a buyer for the Boeing company and taught college-level English. His first novel was a contemporary adventure, but he soon began a spectacular career as a fantasy writer with his bestselling series ‘The Belgariad’.

Had to give up with this kindle edition after about 10% as I couldn't take the typos anymore. Must have been at least 20 per page. It's a shame as the story was developing quite nicely.

"High Hunt" is one of Eddings' best.
21 May 1999
Format:Mass Market Paperback
After completing the entire set of David Eddings' fantasy collection, I began to read "High Hunt." Immediately, the story drew me into it, and I was amazed at the depth of each character and the real-life sense that Eddings gives to the story. Although it was one of Edding's first books, it is one of his best.I am not ashamed to say that I read have this book over and over again, and I have not yet tired of it. I recently read "The Losers", by Eddings, as well, and loved it.

Not very captivating.
14 Jan 2000
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I was introduced to Eddings through the Belgariad, which held my interest because of its excellent character development. High Hunt is lacking in this aspect. I felt that the main character was written as though it was Eddings himself he was writing about. This is the only character that has any substance. The antagonist is the typical one-dimentional unlikable guy for 3/4 of the book, at which point he's actually given some real human characteristics. It was too little-too late for this novel. It may be that this book comes too close to how real human relationships work. As characters of our own human dramas, we tend to fit most casual acquaintences into neat little packages. An unlikable relative, an edgy ex-marine, a prep, a fat guy. High Hunt reads like that. However, as a reader, I expect these characters to be developed. I've got enough 1-dimensional relationships; I don't need to read about them. One positive was that Eddings' humor is evident throughout this book, as it is through his others. There's just not enough depth to High Hunt to make it a winner.
