While Paolini is a wonderful writer, nothing about the Inheritance cycle is particularly original or different from other fantasies on the market. There are your rather standard fantasy creatures, a rather standard protagonist (and antagonist), and a standard fantasy plot-line; run-of-the-mill farm ...
Appalling. As if written by an enthusiastic but tragically over-encouraged teenager with insufferably supportive parents who somehow happen to be well-connected in the publishing indus—wait.Oh.Carry on, then.
I feel a bit squeamish giving this book 3 stars, probably because I can now only endure this series in "spork" form, but I may as well be honest. I liked this book! For two reasons, I think: I read it around the same time as my friends and for the first time ever I was able to book-chat (Eragon suck...
So in this world known as middle-earth Alagaesia, a young hobbit farmer's boy named Frodo Eragon goes on a magical adventure filled with peril after he stumbles upon a magical ring stone, which turns out to have unspeakable power when a dragon hatches from it. Woo, a mystical adventure. As ...
Actual rating: 2.5 starsTHE COVERI love dragons so, of course, I love this cover.THE STORYThe story was good because of the dragons but I just didn't connect to it. With other books, I felt like I was in their worlds, running and fighting along with the characters, but with this one, I really was ju...

Some bits were okay, but you have to plough through 50 pages of nothing for the good bits. It was so... Boring. I was excited ab...
What can I say about this fantastic beginning to one of the most popular YA fantasy series of our time that hasn't already been said numerous times? Paolini was a best-selling author by the time he was nineteen, with plenty more in store for Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, on their quest to overthro...
Eragon is quite a derivative book. While there are certainly some original ideas in the book, Christopher Paolini seems to have relied very heavily on JRR Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" and Anne McCaffrey's "Dragonriders of Pern" series for source material. I personally dislike this book becaus...
Full review here on TotalTeenFictionThis is the first book in The Inheritence Cycle series, and I bought this with a gift card in the post-Christmas sales. It just so happened to be about a month after the latest book in this series had been released, so there were displays everywhere and I'd heard ...
