Book Reviews of Eragon (Inheritance, Book 1)
Book Review: Can't wait to get the next in the series.
Summary: 5 Stars
Who would have ever thought at 43 a grown man could learn to like something he had always put off. Growing up there were always more interesting things I could do besides read.. For whatever the reason while browsing a book store with my son, the Dragon on the cover of this book caught my eye. I never cared about reading before, but since I was a younster Dragons were always an interesting fable to me. This book has brought out something in me that I never thought possible. I can't wait to get the next one, "Eldest."
I will probably donate my paperback to my local High School library and buy the hardcover for mine. I can't wait to hear it read on CD.
Mr. Paolini, excellent work, "please keep them coming."...
Book Review: A good book to pass the time.
Summary: 5 Stars
I enjoyed this book. Though the up-coming plot for the second book was blatently obvious halfway through the first book, it was captivating and definately worth the time spent on reading it. The descriptions were excellent and if you couldn't conjure a mental picture from them, don't blame the author; blame yourself.
It was a good way to fill empty time and much better then anything on television (probably more educational as well). Yes, the dragon-riding plot may be "over-done", but for hard-core fantasy fans and kids just starting their journey through the mystical world of fiction this is a wonderful and purely enjoyable read.
As for comparing himself to Tolkien, all I can say is; you dream big, you become bigger.
Book Review: Equal or Better to Harry Potter
Summary: 5 Stars
Lots of the reviews make this book sound terrible, but I think they are ALL WRONG.
I have read this book twice (some parts more than that)and I have loved it every time. I have read alll of the Harry Potter books (and loved all of them)and I think this book is At LEAST just as just as good (if not better).
Plot 5/5
Depth 5/5
Overall Awesomeness 10/5
Some people complain that this book is a rip-off of other fantasy books. I think that is rediculous because this is COMPLETELY UNLIKE anything I have ever read (which is a lot due to the fact that I am a HUGE LOTR fan and was a huge fan of Star Wars books).
Any person who likes fantasy or Harry Potter would LOVE THIS BOOK.
Book Review: Calling all Fantasy lovers!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
"Sorrow breeds here." Three words that started it all. After the death of Eragon's uncle, he sets out for revenge. Instead he begins a life of adventure, magic, and battles. Whith the help of an old storyteller and his dragon, Eragon starts his new life. Eragon must leave behind all he knows and trian to be a legendary Dragon Rider.
Soon Eragon's life is more than revenge, it is saving the Empire from the cluches of King Galbatorix.
Christopher Paolini has sewn together a wonderful fast- paced book. Also Paolini created characters most people can relate to. This book is for anyone who wants to be pulled into another world full of magic and adventure.
Book Review: A teenager wrote this? Whoa!
Summary: 5 Stars
I like this book a lot, but then when Eldest, the sequel, came out I liked it a whole lot better. Christopher Paolini started this book when he was 15 and I have to say, for an inexperienced writer with only 2 books out, he is pretty darn awesome.
He snatches some things from the Lord of the Rings, you can easily tell, but isn't copying the highest form of flattering?
Mr. Paolini's books have plot, great charcters (I cried in some places, all because of what happened to the characters) and this book also has heart and truth hidden beneath the magic of it.
A great book for all ages, trust me, I'll love this book when I'm old an gray!
