I’m going to echo a bunch of other reviewers and say that Eragon is okay, but I liked it better when it was Star Wars. There are a plethora of reviews and wikis out there that painstakingly lay out the similarities between Eragon and Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and David Eddings’s The Belgariad (O...
Eragon is a young man who finds himself embroiled in a struggle between the Empire in which he lives and those resisting it. A long journey ensues, full of adventure, magic, fighting and discovery. Many interesting and different characters appear, all with an important part to play. The writing i...
An enjoyable read, Eragon by Christopher Paolini is derivative. Period. A near plagiarigation of Star Wars, Tolkien and Earthsea in addition to countless other fantasies.

It won't tax your brain and it will entertain. I'm ...
Read by Melissa: I'm a bit of a fantasy fan, and this had all the typical elements of a traditional fantasy story - a magic object, an unwitting hero, a tutor who befriends the hero and is more than what he seems.... it is an 'epic' story and the first book sets up the history and the likely directi...
24/09 - Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr - I'm reviewing all three of The Inheritance Cycle books together because most of what I have to say applies to all three equally, so instead of writing three reviews all saying almost the same thing, I decided to combine the reviews together into this one.I enjoyed ...
