I've lost count of how many times I have read this book
I read this as a child and it remains one of my all time favorite books.

Lots of fun geeky references in this book and a thoroughly entertaining read. My only beef is there wasn't a story about my favorite geeky activity, marching band.

I expected this to be another preachy tale about the "evils of technology". It wasn't as bad as i expected, but it wasn't my favorite picture book either.

"Salman is brilliant at fantasy (he’s also brilliant at reality), but I think this is my favorite fantastical magical book he’s ever written, but who knows what’s coming?"

I have to say this book has been my favorite in the series so far. The worst part about it is that I have to wait for the next book to find out what happens. The cliffhanger ending is BRUTAL!!

I think that Half-Blood Prince is probably my second favorite book after Azkaban. This book has so much intrigue and gives us so many answers to the questions that we had. It's great. I always enjoy reading this one.

Must read!
While this book is not the first in the series ( you read 10 books before getting to this one) it will always be my favorite. Every book in the two series before this and the two prequels are amazing but this one is my favorite just because of the fact that I love Belgarath. He's just so entertaining and funny. Very enjoyable read!!
  
I really like Fern Michael's. I am listening to the sisterhood series. I just finished book 3 Vendetta, book 4 The Jury, book 5 Sweet Revenge, and book 6 Lethal Justice. Fern Michaels is one of my favorite authors so these are a 10 out of 10 and are going on my shelf to enjoy on another day.

"Bob Fosse is one of my favorite choreographers. This book is a dark and fascinating biography of the man who gave us Cabaret, Sweet Charity, and Chicago, among others."
