What I think of David Eddings books.

David Eddings wrote mostly fantasy novels.

The characters of David Eddings books are very complete
 through his books they will live and change but still
 keep their own identity. You often only need one sentence
 said by a char to know who said it.

His story are original but are a little repetitive.
The same idea of Super Hero against his will and the
 interaction of the Gods comes in most of his books.
The similitudes in his series are disturbing. The scene
 and chars change but the genereal idea is the same.
 The Malloreon's are a copy of the Belgariad and
 The Tamuli a copy of the Elenium. But then again
 due to the living chars and his fluent (easy?) way
 to write they are never boring.

Eddings writes in an easy English cutting long sentences
 in smaller comprehensive ones. 

In Eddings books it is not the main story that is so
 breathtaking but it is the details. The well described
 scenes and again the actors.

I read the Belgariad twice and it pleased me as good
  the second time as the first.
