Re: Poll: who likes what series/books

Belgariad - 8.5
Mallorean - 6.0 (starting to get predictable. Anyone with the slightest 
cognitive ability recognizes Eriond as the New God of Angarak mid-way 
through the 4th book of the Belgariad. The whole idea of events repeating 
themselves was such a great idea for Eddings that he repeated it in every 
one of his books since, usually haveng the repeats come from the
Belgariad)
BtS - 6.0
PtS - 0.5 (I still haven't finished it, it is so awful.)
Elenium - 7.5 (major plotline and character repetition from the Belgariad.

Also stole character templates from other authors. Wasn't even
cir***spect.
Tamuli - 6
Althalus - 2 (could have been excellent, but was too rushed so as to cram
it 
into one book.)
The Elder Gods - 0.5 (I bought all the books in the cheap bin, and paid
too 
much. Sold them on eBay for ten dollars [half the total amount I paid],
and 
still think I am out ten bucks. It's a shame trees had to die for this 
dreck. I gave it as high a score as I did because at least there is no 
reference to anyone cutting their toenails.
 The Losers - 7.5 (hearken back to the days when Eddings had an original 
thought)
