Eragon (Inheritance, Book 1) 2689 reviews Christopher Paolini
Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2003
MUCH better than the MOVIE version ...
+ Better than the Movie + well i liked it...
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 ...

Artemis Fowl (Artemis Fowl, Book 1) 858 reviews Eoin Colfer
Miramax, 2002
Fantastic book, a must-read for fantasy fans!
