Simply great! The action really becomes intense in this book and everything starts to wind down to the final conclusion!

I've read all the books in the Belgaraid seris but this one's my favourite!! I was reading the other reviews and I just can't understand how people could not like the book!! But then I'm only a teenager whilst others are adults so my bottom line is: this book is great for younger people because from an adult's point of view the book might be too immature and boring.

When I first started reading this book, I couldn't put it down. I mean- I read all night long. When I finally decided to get some sleep, at four-thirty in the morning, I was halfway through the book. Even as I read on, I found myself holding my breath, laughing out loud and even crying. This book is the perfect combination of all emotions. I look forward to finishing the 5th. My fiancee has already, and he has to catch himself not to give the ending away. My advice to you- BUY THE WHOLE SET!!! It is soooo worth it.

David Eddings hit the Jackpot with his 5 book fantasy series "The Belgariad" and Book Four "Castle of Wizardry" continues, in great style this easy-to-read fantastic romp through the Kingdoms of the West. "Castle" is the next installment in the story of Garion, a simple farmboy, thrust into the adventure of a lifetime, in search of a magical Orb. "Castle" begins just after the recovery of the Orb and the death of Ctuchik, follower of the Evil God Torak, but if you think the quest ends here, don't despair, there is still plenty of dark magic, corrupt priests and one very irate evil God to provide plenty of entertainment and excitement for Garion and his companions. And for those softer at heart, there's just a little bit of romance thrown in as well. So don't be shy, join Garion, Belgarath, Polgara, Ce'Nedra and all their friends on an epic adventure. But don't take too long, they can't wait much longer. After all, they still have to fight their way through Book 5 before they can start on their journey through the Mallorean...but then, that's a whole separate story!
