Eragon is a great book because of its engaging story, interesting characters, and a good amount of character development. Eragon develops as a character due to the challenges put through him in the book. He starts off as an ignorant child…

"I am in love with this series! It has the hints of nostalgia that come with re-reading a book from your childhood, and is an altogether wonderful fantasy novel/series!" - Raven P.

This is a very excellent book, I do understand why adults would not like it because it was written by a child so it appeals to children. Overall this series was a little more serious that I'm used to but I really enjoyed it. Fans of lotr…

Eragon has an intangible allure. I think I could never truly explain why I liked the book so much when I was younger, despite its obvious flaws. For one, it's long and bulky, both in its story and writing style. The dialogue can also be…

A good book for young readers that are being introduced to the fantasy genre, though older readers may find the content to be lacking. Very apparent that the author was young when this novel was published, but impressive given that the…

Fantasy, Adventure. Eragon finds a dragon egg and inadvertently sets into motion an epic adventure. If you like Lord of the Rings and The Rangers Apprentice, this is a must-read.

Eragon is a mixed bag for me. On one hand it has some fantastic writing and plot. On the other the characters and pacing are not particularly good. I'll try to give a brief summary on the 4 categories. (light/none spoilers) Writing: This…

Extremely derivative (if not plagiarized) of Star Wars, Earthsea, etc. Enjoyable for young kids who haven't read much fantasy yet.

This book is about an impoverished boy who one day discovers a dragon egg. Dragons are considered to be almost extinct at this point, and whoever a dragon manages to hatch for will come to hold great powers and might. Galbatorix, one of…

One of the greatest books of all time. I recommend reading The Blackthorn Key, Wings of Fire (books 1-5), The Mysterious Benedict Society, and The Bartimaeus Sequence if you enjoyed this book.

Eragon, by Christopher Paolini, is a fantasy novel that, despite combining equal measures of wit, action, and adventure, cannot compare with other high fantasy sagas, such as J.R.R. Tolkien’s iconic Lord of the Rings. Set in the fictional…

I absolutely love this book. This reread was a bit haphazard as I listened to half of it as an audio book and then read the rest of the paper book. While I love most of the characters, Roran, Orik, Arya, Murtagh, and Nasuada I find the…

Not the most original story by any stretch of the imagination, and the characters aren't very deep, but it's a fun popcorn flick of a book to read with your brain turned off.

It's been quite a while since I read this series, but I figured I might as well give my series review here. The first book, while a decent read, was defiantly filled with some major cliches. As a 13 year-old boy, I found myself predicting…

After hearing so many people praise this book and hold it as a cornerstone of their fantasy reading experience, I thought I'd better do this book justice and actually read it, instead of judging it on its movie. My final take: not…

Christopher Paolini, is BRILLIANT. He basically wrote his own language, and his books can reach up to 800 pages, when he was so young to write it! He perfectly connected each character that appeared, into a tangled web of plot twists.…

amazing book. I am amazed that such a young author could write such a great book. It reminds me so much of the lord of the rings trilogy. the young villager of a small town finds a blue stone that changes his life. he leaves his town to…
