MUCH better than the MOVIE version ...
OK, so we all get it that Christopher Paolini (CP) incorporated a lot of other works of fiction into his. That being said, let's move on ... I watched the movie version [on HBO multiple times] of this book for almost a year before reading the book. I originally thought the book would follow the movie with a few small exceptions [like how they did the Harry Potter series vs. their books]. Oh, ...

cant stop reading
Ive read all 3 books thus far and i hae to say that these have made it onto my top list. most people keep saying that the book is full of grammatical and other mistakes. But im no english scholar. i dont read books to look for misprininting or mistakes, i read them to get away from the world, and relax. i believe that is why most parents wont allow thire kids to read great books such as this. ...

A thrilling sequal to Eragon!
I reallly, really, really wanted this book. However, all the Inheritance books in my town are always checked out, and so it was almost a month before I finally got Eldest. This book was even better then I had hoped. Ajihad, Murtagh, and the Twin's 'deaths', Nasuada's appointing, Eragon's training, Glaedr, the grumpy golden dragon that Saphira humorously pursues, Oromis, the athiest elven ...

a fantastic addition...
I personally like the Inheritance series of books. They aren't quite as sophisticated as The Lord of the Rings, or The Wheel of Time, or Dune. They lie somewhere between the Harry Potters of the World, and The Lord of the Rings. Are some of the names inspired by other series? Sure. The point isn't to find fault with work on the basis of what was written in other works, but to see whether it ...

Eldest story in the book
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, since the omnibus of "Eragon" and "Eldest" is brimming over with fantasy cliches. But the biggest weakness of Paolini's two books is not his stilted dialogue or numerous ...

The Inheritance Cycle is great and I am looking forward to the next book!
(10-year old) I enjoy this series because I've always loved magical books with just a pinch of mystery. The author also created a world where dragons or other animals, magical or non-magical, could communicate with humans. That supports my love for animals and my interest in magical animals. All the books so far have also demonstrated that you have to keep going at something to become an expert ...

The Arthurian myths' new life
Working from original sources such as the Winchester manuscript and the famous book by Thomas Malory, Steinbeck recreates the essential mythical stories of Britain's literature and history. They are seven interconnected but independent stories, which unfortunately form an unfinished book, that ends just at the beginning of the fatidic romance between Lancelot and Guinevere. Steinbeck modernizes ...

A exellent book, what's with all the bad reviews?
Unlike other people, I saw the movie before I read the book. People talked to me about it, but I thought it was a depressing book series with the last dragon on earth in it. But after seeing the movie and learning I had been mistaken in this viewpoint, I got the book from the library and am now reading 'Brisingr'. A young boy named Eragon, raised by his Uncle Garrow and Aunt Marian in ...

I LIKE THEM ALL, INCLUDING AUDIO BOOKS
My goodness, such passionate reviews. Let me add my own passion to the mix. I am an OLD dude, and I have been reading since I was a little tad. I read everything I can get my hands on, or, if I have nothing, even the back of cereal boxes will do. I have to read! I LOVE this series! I have been reading fantasy, and science fiction, Cowboys and Indians, adventure of all kinds, for all of my life. ...

An excellent refresher for the story that has it's continuation this October, at last. The narrator does a marvelous job capturing characters with his voice and it moves well.

Fulfilling second entry in the series ...
Wonderfully fulfilling second entry in this series. More information and some cool plot turns (which you could foresee from hints in the first book). From my review of "Eragon" I will say it again ... I don't know HOW the movie company is going to present the second book into movie form since they strayed so far from the first book's plot points. I am eagerly awaiting the second movie, ...

Listening Library, 2008

It's been months since Eragon first uttered "brisinger," an ancient language term for fire. Since then, he's not only learned to create magic with words -- he's been challenged to his very core. Following the colossal battle against the Empire's warriors on the Burning Plans, Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, have narrowly escaped with their lives. Still, there is more adventure at hand for the Rider and his dragon, as Eragon finds himself bound ...

Glorious reproductions of many works by a brilliant artist
I enjoyed Palencar's surrealistic cover art for years without knowing his name. I think the first may have been for Connie Willis (both her collections of short fiction). I remember stopping and studying the cover and thinking, "Wow, this is really, really something." I saw more work, recognizably "that artist's" work, on other covers--Octavia Butler novels, Charles de Lint books. Oh, "The Onion ...
