5.0 out of 5 stars Worth 5 Stars and More!, 29 July 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Diamond Throne (The Elenium) (Paperback)
This was the first David Eddings book I read and in my opinion the best he has ever written. I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I first picked it up and started to read it. I think I was expecting some pitifully bad story about a boring knight trying to save his equally boring queen. However, to my surprise, within the first few pages I was hooked! I was deeply engrossed within the plot and found myself liking each and every character I came across (except for the bad guys of course). I was amazed at how much I enjoyed this book and David Eddings is now without a doubt my favourite author! I even have an entire bookshelf dedicated to his books.

I heartily recommend this book to anyone, whether you've come across Eddings' books before or whether you have never even heard of him.

You may be wary of his books at first but I hope you find them as brilliant as I do.

Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantasy with subtle humour, 15 May 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Diamond Throne (The Elenium) (Paperback)
Nice story, its my first Eddings novel, and I was nicely rewarded with a damn fine plot, great characters who fit so neatly into each other and seem to have been cut from the same stone. One of a few fantasy writers who has a great sense of humour - not in the Teryy Pratchett sense, but in subtle character interactions. I found myself stifleing a chuckle on the underhround more than I normally would. I heartily recommend it to anyone who hasn't read one of his books before, it's great place to start! For those regulars, it's the best of the Elenium series.

5.0 out of 5 stars loved it, loved it., 15 Feb 2007
By M. Monk (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Diamond Throne (The Elenium) (Paperback)
This was the first Eddings book I have read and will not be the last. All the characters a well written and you actually get very fond them. The fantasy world Eddings creates really pulls you in and the story line is very clever with twists and turns. Only reason I finished this so quickly was so that I could start the next!
