My Book Introduction
This book tells the story of a hero, a dragon, and an old storyteller.
The story begins when Eragon finds a strange stone in a strange place called the Spine.
He figures out it's an egg after a dragon named Saphira hatches. A tragedy breaks loose after Eragon's uncle dies. Eragon goes after the Ra'zac {the creatures that killed his uncle} to kill them for revenge.
Brom the storyteller tells Eragon about his enemy Galbatorix. He also tells him that he has found one of the three eggs that are left. Brom and Eragon go off on a deadly quest to recover the eggs. Will they recover the eggs before Galbatorix does? It's your choice to find out.
Friendship, courage, loyalty, and tragedy make Eragon an awesome novel.
I love this novel because of the great themes. The themes just make up the perfect book for me. I know for sure that if you read it you'll like it too. This books themes I'm telling you are awesome. It's real cool how Christopher Paolini puts in the themes to make it sound like your there with Eragon.
This book is mostly an outside setting. Eragon, Brom, and Saphira travel all over to get information the need to find out how to defeat Galbatorix and how to retrieve the remaining dragon eggs. If you're a person who love dragons and the outdoors then outdoors is the place to be right? Eragon travels to places you'll never think of in the outdoors setting. Sometimes the setting is indoors, like on their way to find the Ra'zac Brom stops at places to get odd items and information about their quest. If you read it I hope you enjoy like I did.
Eragon is the best book to read if you're a dragon, action, and outdoors lover.
The themes fit so perfectly together to make this novel great. I really enjoyed how Paolini
Explained the characters and the action parts there really explained well from awesome word choice. I wish you the best and I hope you enjoy it like I did.
P.S. This book continues in
the book Eldest.
Book Review: i learned myslef to reed and rite at home.
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all, a hearty well done to Master Paolini.
Second of all, I am highly offended by many reviewer's comments about Mr. Paolini's education, and Homeschoolers in general.
I would like to inform seemingly concerned Ms. "Liz Z" that all homeschoolers, including myself, are required by Florida state laws to be evaluated or tested by the state, and Florida is conciderd a more leenient state by most standards. And yes, do not worry Ms. Liz, Mr. Paolini has gone thru the material as much as you have and probaly more. Laws require more "proof" from him than from you.
And do not trouble you little public schooled heads about "socialization" I really do feel sorry for all you, I should think I would suffocate, being all cooped up in school all the day long. Whilst you are doing that: I am enjoying quite possibly the beach with some friends, or ,maybe a sunny day in the backyard with my regular compatriots. Or maybe Im at one of my regular science classes that I take with a Microcellbiologist who I would submit is MUCH more fun and qualified than any public schoolteacher of your choice. Or maybe I'm at a speech tournament, that let me assure you is Much more fun than eating the cafiteria's mystery meat.
Now let me ask you: do I sound like an Idiot?
I hope you answered no, because if you answered yes, it would simply be because you know what I'm saying is right, and refuse to admit it. And that would be sad to be that bitter.
You see, My parents have done a splendid job educating me, and they are still not done, I'm only 14.
Now! to the book:
Therein lies wonderful words which captivated me beyond anything I have read in a very, very long time.
The only thing I would say to Mr. Paolini is that, I wish he would release Eldest sooner.
This book is much better than the riff raff that usually occupies the teen section.
Jolly good book Master Paolini, well done.
Book Review: The Best Book I Have Ever Read, Probably Until Eldest.
Summary: 5 Stars
After I finished this book, I tried to convince my mother into reading this book. My mom is an incredible book worm, who will just read anything quickly. She read the entire left behind series, which is twelve books, in just a few weeks. Even though my mom is a book worm, the book of Eragon has not really reached out and grabbed her. But she does not really like fantasy that much, so for those of you who may not like this book, it is probably because you are not crazy, and I mean crazy, fantasy fanatics. I never knew I was that interested in fantasy until I read this book, I tried to read LOTR (Lord of the Rings) and it just did not suck me into the book. I find this great book called Eragon probably the best book I will ever read, until I read the sequel Eldest. But so many people hate it on Amazon, I and think that for this book you have to find a taste that is just right for the book. And if you do not have that certain taste, just a taste bud off, you may not like the book at all. I am happy that I have the taste buds made for this book because it is so enjoyable. If you find the begining boring or not that reaching, I had the same probem, but once the terrible things start happening to Eragon you will possibly fall into it. Believe it or not the begining chapters of this book were even worse than they are now, and the begining chapters for me are okay. So be happy those opening chapters are not worse than the okay version now.
I find that to many people argue about how old Paolini was when this book was written, and even though it is a greatly written book for his age and it was a great career starting, I have two words: WHO CARES! I mean, yeah, that is impressive for his age but we do not need to kill each other over the fact of how old the person was when he wrote it, as long as he is around that age of 17, or 15 or whatever.
So in the end this book is a perfect book, but you may not have the "taste buds" for the book. 5/5 or 10/10, or 100/100
Book Review: An amazing book

Eragon
Christopher Paolini
Eragon is fifteen and almost a man. He is a poor farmer and has to hunt for his family. While on a hunting trip Eragon comes across a shiny, blue stone. He decides to keep it because he thinks that he can sell it for food. When the stone hatches to reveal a dragon Eragon finds he's in a world of adventures. When his uncle/dad dies he sets off to avenge him, but it turns into so much more. Eragon and his dragon find they're in world of adventure, magic, and power. Will Eragon become one of the legendary Dragon Riders? I wanted to read this book ever since it came out, but my brother, Matthew, made me want read it more. Teens 13-16 or fantasy, dragon, and adventure lovers would like this book.
The way that Eragon starts off with so little, but ends up with a lot is amazing to me. My favorite character is the dragon, Saphira. She is so intelligent and mysterious. The writing style of this book is so incredible. The way Christopher Paolini makes this book a mystery, fantasy, and science fiction all at once is awesome. I would never get tired of reading this book! I also liked how there was a different language. (Though he does have a punctuation list and the meanings of the words in the back of the book)
I can't think of anything that I didn't like about this book, but that's probably because I can't stop thinking about all the good things.
Overall the book was perfect. Like I said, all teens 13-16 or fantasy, dragon, and adventure lovers would like this book. It's a really good book!

Summary: 5 Stars
Eragon, by Christopher Paolini, takes place in a world of fantasy, where dragons and elves are an important part of a battle and evil spirits take over the weak, creating a shade.
Hunting in the spine, a dangerous place, to support his family, fifteen year old, Eragon find a blue jewel, shaped like an egg. He finds out that it really is an egg, a dragon egg, when it hatches and out comes a dragon. He names her Saphira. Over time the dragon grows, bigger and bigger. One day, Eragon comes home to find his home destroyed and his uncle killed. He finds out that it was caused by the Ra'zac, people who work for the king and the empire. Eragon sets out to avenge the death of his uncle, but he is joined by Brom, the village storyteller, who found out that he had a dragon. While following the Ra'zac's tracks, he trains both physically and magically. Soon Eragon's battle turns into an all out war against the king and the empire. Friendships are made, and alliances are tested, as the only ones who can help, Eragon and Saphira, are clueless as to how. They soon learn that the Varden, a group of humans and dwarfs will be able to help them. But to get there they must cross a huge desert. Will they survive while crossing it?
I liked this book for many reasons. One, my copy of the book had a map, so I could follow Eragon's trail. There were also some Czech based words, which in the book was used as the "ancient Language" that summoned magic, but there was a huge glossary in the back that you could check. Another reason I liked Eragon was that the book was really full of questions and answers. In this way it was suspenseful. The author would answer a question, but instantly another would pop up.
I really enjoyed Eragon and would recommend it to anyone!!
