This is just awful. I tolerated the first two being both derivative and badly written and put it down to a young author finding his feet. But this is the worse of the three.
The book is predictable in extreme as the young hero lives out the author's adolescent Dungeons and Dragons adventures. I tried. I really really tried but half way through I abandoned it. I was sick of falling out of the world he almost creates when he insists on using a 'big' word trying to impress the reader with word knowledge instead of doing his best to retaining the readers immersion. This will become one of three books I have ever started and never finished out of the hundreds I've read. I can only say go read some more and ... Read More: >>More Details |

this book is an excellent read I enjoyed it immensely!
the part were he visited the elves was a bit boring but the battle afterwards made up of it. Very interesting plot line but when he tries to romance with Ayra you just want to smash your head into a wall yelling "shut up you stupid person!" Its embarrassing. his training is good reading but he really mucks up his relationship with Ayra. appart from that bit the plot has many interesting twists and turns and it makes up for a lot. all in all a brilliant read! >>More Details |

For any fantasy/sci-fi fan, Eragon will contain a lot of familiar material. However, it is well written and has a fast-moving pace which makes up for its derivative nature. Although the story and characters are not new, it is an interesting (if not particularly thrilling) read.
On the down-side, the dialogue is very wooden and a lot of the description is long-winded and verbose. I suppose we can excuse Paolini, seeing as he was quite young when he wrote it. Altogether, a good read (if you can stand the none-too-subtle echoes of Star Wars and LOTR). >>More Details |

I'm not sure if that is a word that you would use to describe a book but these two are simply amazing. Many reviews have criticised they style in which Christopher Paolini writes but I personally think he is fantastic! I'm a very busy person and love reading so it is essential that I have a book that is gripping or I will not take time out to read it! These books certainly fill that criteria. The phrase "You cant put it down!" is taken lightly in the reading world to emphasise how good a book is but these two books you cannot actually put down. They are definitely up there with the likes of Harry Potter undoubtedly! I pre-ordered (yes call me a reading freak) I'll say that again pre-ordered the next one as soon as I could. I hope that sort of sums up how ... Read More:

This is a warining to anyone who enjoyed the books, do not purchase this audio cd. I have currently listened and was very impressed with the Gerrard Doyle version of Eragon and Inheritance. So I was expecting the same standard of interpretation with this cd, I was sadly mistaken. Kerry Shale has done the book an injustice, mispronounced the ancient words, called Angela - Angella, Eragon sounds like a cowboy from the old west and Roran sounds like a surfing dude!!! After the first disc, I just switched it off and will be buying the Gerrard Doye version - the true version.

Mix together equal parts "Star Wars" and J.R.R. Tolkien, then add a generous helping of Anne McCaffrey's dragon-riders and a few random shreds of Garth Nix.
Obviously originality is not Christopher Paolini's strong suit. But that's only one of the problems with "Eragon," "Eldest" and "Brisingr," the first three books of Paolini's Inheritance series -- while there's some promise in Paolini's first book, the second and third are lifeless slogs of painfully pompous plotlessness that occasionally rev up into a battle. The titular character is lucky enough to stumble across a strange blue stone while hunting. After failing to sell it, Eragon finds that it's actually a dragon egg, and the baby blue dragon inside selects him -- yes, him -- to hatch ... Read More: >>More Details |
