Summary
Best-selling authors David and Leigh Eddings welcome fans back to the time before The Belgariad and The Malloreon series. Join them as they chronicle that fateful conflict between two mortally opposed Destinies, in a monumental war of men and kings and gods.
When the world was young and Gods still walked among their mortal children, a headstrong orphan boy set out to explore the world. Thus began the extraordinary adventures that would mold that youthful vagabond into a man and the man into the finely honed instrument of Prophecy known to all the world as Belgarath the Sorcerer.
Then came the dark day when the Dark God Torak split the world asunder, and the God Aldur and his disciples began their monumental labor to set Destiny aright. Foremost among their number was Belgarath. His ceaseless devotion was foredoomed to cost him that which he held most dear - even as his loyal service would extend through echoing centuries of loss, of struggle, and of ultimate triumph.

good story ruined by poor performer
I have enjoyed the works by David Eddings for many years but a health condition now means I have to rely on audio books. I do not know who thought Cameron Beierlie was a suitable person to provide audio but I can only think they must be deaf. A good story ruined by an appalling reader who cannot even maintain one accent per character making it almost impossible to follow conversations!

Don’t start here if you’re a new reader to the series.
I love this book and it is a great addition to the series. However as it seems to be listed as book 0 on Audible it might fool new readers into starting with this book. If they do, then it will spoil everything for them within the first few minutes of the book.
Other than that I enjoyed the original hardback copy and I loved the audio book even more. The voices for each character were pretty much as I imagined they should be and the performance overall is superb.
A great book to pick up, AFTER you have finished the whole series first.

Enjoyable
I know many dont get on with the narration of this book. However I have listened to the Belgariad and Malloreon all read by Cameron bierlie. Yes sometimes he makes an error but to keep up all the different accents and voices throughout the 11 books and read with the proper cadence an f2f inflection is extremley difficult. I think the narrator does a pretty good job of it and I have enjoyed his telling of these stories. I just wish he was reading Polgara the Sorceress too. Thank you Cameron and Audioble for a great performance.

Reader sounds like a cheap gameshow host.
Couldn't get past the prologue. Terrible Reader. I couldn't stand him. The very worst I've wasted my time on. I can't say if the book itself is good or bad. But how good can it be if the author allows someone to read it who sounds like he's practising to get an audition to host a cheap game show. Simply awful and false.

Belgarath the Sorcerer
I have long been a fan of David Eddings work and I have read this book before, however, I had a problem with the pronunciation of the names by Cameron Beale. Why did David Eddings go to all the trouble of putting an “h” in Cherek for Cameron to pronounce it Kerek? I found myself correcting him in my mind on the several mis pronunciations and losing the gist of the prose. Perhaps if I was new to the work it wouldn’t matter.

Great story
Great book. Listened to and from work every day and at lunch, never got bored with it. A few annoying voices, but with the amount of characters must be hard to keep each character stand out
