Book Reviews of Eragon (Inheritance, Book 1)
Book Review: class work
Summary: 5 Stars
I have always loved books that keep you up all night reading when you should be sleeping.Eragon is definitely one of those books, I enjoyed every page. The story is of a 15 year old boy named Eragon who finds an amazing, big, blue stone one day in the forest while hunting. He brings the stone home hoping to sell it to the traders in the fall for food. One night Eragon is awakened by noise comming from the stone, next thing you know a dragon is hatched. Eragon secretly cares for the dragon till one day these magical creatures named Ra'zac show up. One night while Eragon is out the Ra'zac come to his home and kill his family while burning down his farm, and thats when the excitment begins. Eragon and his dragon go through a series of adventures that keep you on your toes dying to see what will happen next. Therefore I recomend this book to anyone looking for a good fictional novel to read.Book Review: Dragons, swords and evil kings. Oh my.

This book is one that my son wanted for his birthday. (Along with Eldest) I am one of those weirdo parents who feels I should know what my kids are reading. So, due to my book addiction, I grabbed if off the kid and tore in.
First, amazing a kid wrote it. I am not stunned but impressed. I have read some real crap from far more "accomplished" writers. I found the story well told, the characters brought to life and the balance of detail giving and that left to your imagination good. (Not a fan of seventeen pages of explaining something.)
I would recommend this book to most everyone. If you are into the magic thing, this one is for you. If you are looking for a book to share with a young reader, this is for you. If you are all stuck up about books and expecting each thing you read to be a masterpiece, well, read it anyway. Just don't gripe. :)
Book Review: Eragon (Inheritance)
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is truly one that you will not want to put down until you reach the end. The story is wonderfully told and the world of Alagaesia unfolds as a rich land filled with turmoil and danger since the Dragon Riders were killed off by the evil king Galbatorix in his rise to power. Yet in this world, Eragon finds a small hatchling, Saphira, who he must protect from discovery. With the death of his dear uncle, who raised from from the time of his birth, he struck out on a journey from his home and accross the land with his mentor Brom. They travel to avenge his uncle's death, but Eragon discovers it takes more than vengence to fill the hollow the death of his uncle left in his life. And with Saphira to protect, he must learn the skills needed to become a real dragon rider so that they can both survive. So much lies ahead of him, beyond the bounds of Carvahall, his home.Book Review: Eragon

Wow...the first word that comes to mind after reading this epic tale.
Eragon, an average farm boy living in the Palancar Valley with his uncle and cousin. That is what Eragon's destiny is, until a sinuous looking azure stone appears in his hunting grounds. With the stone comes much more than a souvenir, but a whole new life and responsibilities he never dreamed of...a whole new creature he never dreamed of.
Being hunted down by the king's murderous servants, Eragon must flee with his dragon to keep his family safe. He is accompanied by a mysterious story teller, Brom who teaches him the skills to becoming one of the most feared and respected men in the country, a Dragon Rider. Eragon must take flight to the Varden, and pursue the only path to saving the last of the dragon eggs...
Book Review: Interesting Read to be certain.
Summary: 5 Stars
I started reading this book in late November and I thought it would give me a good read. It surpassed the expectations I had for it, and I have very high standards for books. It starts out with the protagonist Eragon finding a blue stone while hunting. After a week or so the stone hatches, revealing itself to be an egg, into a sapphire dragon whom he appropriately names Saphira. Soon afterwards however strangers come and kill his existing family, sending Eragon into a quest than he had never even dreamed of.
In conclusion this book is worth reading at least once. It's full of all kinds of twists and turns of large proportions. The book surprised me many time thoughout the course of reading it. If you really love books you should defintely read this one.
