The first one, at least, should be liked by everyone. (IMO) Tim Send a noteboard - 01/05/2012 10:59:34 PM
I'd be interested to find out what criticisms of it exist.

I liked the others, but I can see holes which other people would pick in the second and fourth books.

Is there a universally liked fantasy book? Tim - 06/04/2012 08:51:12 PM 1771 Views
I like The Fionavar Tapestry, but I don't expect everybody does. Legolas - 06/04/2012 09:08:18 PM 1200 Views
Not really Larry - 07/04/2012 01:23:38 AM 1104 Views
That surprises me. I would think you'd have enjoyed LIONS or TIGANA. *NM* Ghavrel - 07/04/2012 07:39:08 AM 455 Views
I disliked Sarantium and Under Heaven Larry - 07/04/2012 07:49:50 AM 1090 Views

Simply--no. Palatine - 07/04/2012 04:37:16 PM 1343 Views
Except for LOTR wasn't that original. Stephen - 07/04/2012 05:14:49 PM 910 Views
Perhaps. Palatine - 08/04/2012 04:33:07 PM 1035 Views

I haven't read either of those A Deathwatch Guard - 07/04/2012 11:52:47 PM 955 Views
Hm. I think it'd be hard to hate David Eddings' The Belgariad beetnemesis - 09/04/2012 06:32:49 PM 900 Views
That only counts for those who have nostalgic feelings for it, I'm afraid. *NM* Legolas - 09/04/2012 08:45:48 PM 419 Views
Yes, trying to read it for the first time aged 19 wasn't an enjoyable experience. Stephen - 10/04/2012 01:03:19 AM 905 Views
More like having your love for it curdle into hate after reading the Mallorean, Elenium & Tamuli Cannoli - 10/04/2012 02:42:49 PM 1110 Views
Ha, at least in Mallorean it was a plot point (albeit a lame one) beetnemesis - 10/04/2012 03:52:27 PM 1021 Views

Horrendous Book Wibble - 10/04/2012 12:16:55 PM 984 Views
I love Tigana, but yeah, Wibble's not the only one who doesn't. Legolas - 10/04/2012 07:13:00 PM 918 Views
Good to know. rebelaessedai - 16/04/2012 04:56:48 AM 1167 Views
