Alright, he's 15, he's immature, but still, this book was BAD.

The plot is totally stolen from other author's work, and poorly written. The description is thin, and since all of it is basically stolen from other novels, you know what's coming around on the next page.
Dragon riders and elves and dwarves? Soooo much better in the hands of a Mature Author.
And, No, I am not giving him credit for being Fifteen and writing a novel. It was poorly written, mostly stolen, and not His own Creation, but other Authors.
And, to everyone that rates it a 5 and says it's the best book, think of these questions and think of the answers:
Why couldn't Paolini(Sp?) MAKE UP a creature, instead of dragon riders?
Why did all of his names sound so familiar to others?
Why were there only elves, dwarves, and some mutant creatures (Urgals, Kull/ Ura Kai, Orcs) and not some made up creatures he made in his own mind?
Eragon/Aragorn falling inlove with Arya/Arwen? C'mon, that's totally stolen!
Why was there no Twist? A little turn that makes you dig your nose deeper into the book and drool because you're so focused?

Why? Because it's all Stolen, Stolen, Stolen!!!!!!
My nine-year-old cousin is making a fantasy book, and it's better than anything Paolini could ever make. She's 9. Wait until her book gets published!

Alright, and one last thing to those "I love Paolini's work and rate a 5!!111!"
Stop comparing his work with Tolkien's work. Stop saying it's much better and/ or equal. Because, it's not. Really, it's equal to Harry Potter, saying it's an easy read.
Tolkien was one of the greatest authors of our time, and to compare his work to Paolini's is like comparing Skinny people to fat people. What I'm saying is:
Its
Not
Right!


A good fantasy novel needs some Points, also, to make it A great, if not Wonderful book:
It has to have mostly creatures that are made formed in the author's mind. Example, J.R.R. Tolkien, a great, AND wonderful Author that I respect greatly.
The plot has to have twists, turns, and start off with lots of description and thought. It can't just start digging into the plot. The Reader has to get to know the characters, and be able to start to visualize the world and characters in their head in great detail.
The Novel has to have the reader's attention. It can't drone on in a monotonous tone and say events like you were just watching a Piano Player without music. It has to burst with life and the Reader must feel like they are actually feeling the wind in their face if a character in the book does.
And the most important Point:Description.
There has to be so much detail, so much color description, so that by the end of a few chapters, you know how the Characters act in a certain way, how they react to sudden crashes, how their world looks and feels when touched. How the different characters feel. I mean this as, how they feel on certain days and not others. What the color is of things, how different animals and plants and still life objects feel. What their creatures look like. What the different elements feels like, so that when you finally put the book down it;s because the house is on fire, not because you remembered something you had to do.
