Not the Narrator I would like.

i have nothing personally against the narrator. however, everyone in the story seems to either have a slow speach impediment or they are closely related to pepe' la' pewe. i have read all of Eddings books as far as i know. and this particular series is by far my favorite. i just was not happy with the narration. the only voice in the whole series that really seems to fit the character would be Beldin. he was done to perfection. i personnally feel as though this would be a great story to have done "dramatized" with an all star cast..
lol, feel free to contact me for voice recommendations. please do not misunderstand me, the narrator would was fine whenever he was reading the "narration", it is only the voices that ruined it for me.

One step closer...

As I said before I think Cameron Beirle consolidates his footing better and better with each novel. This is no exception. I noticed fewer and fewer inconsistencies with his narration, particularly in this installment.
Having regained the Orb of Aldur from Ctuchik, the now-vanquished disciple of Torak, Belgarion and his companions must escape from the crumbling city of Rak Cthol, pursued by the soldiers of the maniacal king of Cthol Murgos as well as by the sinister arts of the now-leaderless Grolim priests. Only then can they return the Orb to the Hall of the Rivan King, which Polgara reveals must be accomplished by Erastide. From there Belgarion must set out to meet a destiny beyond
his imagining.

Great books, not so great narrator

I love these books and re-read them often. I decided to purchase an audio copy so that I could multi-task. The narrator however, is very disappointing. He is decent for the narration, but his accents & pronunciations are inconsistent, he mispronounces words and his vowels (git instead of get, for example) are awful. With a better narrator I would give it 5 stars.

Unique Brilliance from Performer and Author

David Eddings character development is second to none, and his world building rivals the great authors of history. The combination of that with Beierle’s performance is nothing short of a masterpiece.

Four Stars

In a brilliant move, customers are now forced to write reviews if they want to rate books. This is a waste of time both for me and for whoever reads this.

wonderful story in every Aspect so far

wonderful story in every Aspect so far greatly narrated and the final part of the belgariad before the climax.

Good enough - narrator is pretty good!

I must have been very young when I read these books because re-listening to the story it felt a little less magical and little more droll. People keep doing things to their beards “thoughtfully” and the princess is annoying- but it’s an addictive story and the narration keeps you well entertained. It was enough to keep me awake during an eight hour drive and I’m interested enough to download the final book.

Never gets old!

This is probably my 12th time listening to this after reading it several times as an adult and my initial introduction to it in highschool back in the 80's! I absolutely love it!
