Inkspell
by Cornelia Funke
inkspell (3/30/2006)
it truly is an inkspell. This book by cornelia funke is her best yet. After reading inkheart i just had to read inkspell [comment removed due to plotspoiler]. Dustfinger was a truly great character they had better do good with him. I recommend this book to all. You will like it i swear. But first to not get lost you should read the one before it called inkheart.
Eldest: Inheritance, Book II
by Christopher Paolini
eldest (3/30/2006)
Eldest along with Eragon are two of the best books in the world. I have read hundreds probably thousands of books. No i'm not kidding in my room at home I have a minumum of 300 books the last time i counted. I know a good piece of writing when i see it. Now then Christopher Paolini captivates you in this upturning emotional second installement in the inheritance trilogy. Eldest will be a classic and proposed as one of the best written fantasy books in history. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but if anyone reads this review i highly recommend it to anyone and everyone. I also recommend the only books that are better than these two which are those written by Tamora Pierce. Also fans the third inheritance trilogy book if you had not heard will be called Empire. you can also see a trailor at www.youtube.com for Eragon. bye now i'll probably be back.
Eragon: Inheritance, Book I
by Christopher Paolini
1 more thing (3/16/2006)
I have 1 more thing to say something someone pointed out in a review was that being the first book in a trilogy the plot should unwind slower. First if you have read the only author better than paolini which is Tamora Pierce you should know that no plot can unwind to fast and also you should look at this if Paolini is writing a trilogy and his books are this thick are you suggesting he do twice the work so he can give people with a samller what should i say book sense to be nice time to catch up with the storyline? no Paolini wrote this for advanced readers who have a great book sense. but please don't let that scare you away from it. If you have a smaller... booksense... YOU read the book at a slower pace to alow your... booksense... time to register what you read. My booksense is huge when a character dies I can tell if it is real or not without any hints. If its real i'll cry and curse the author for getting rid of the character i loved. If it was fake and i don't know yet i will try without success and constantly curse the author until i find out the author didn't really kill them. Anyways what i'm saying is if you can't see a good piece of writing then leave it alone and don't criticise it please. Everytime i find a review that... makes me mad(i am being nice in my words i swear!!)... it drives me insane and i'll probably write a review dedicated to that one or others. Please those who don't like it leave it alone and go find something you do like because this book is a very good piece of writing. (the second one is just as good!)
Eragon: Inheritance, Book I
by Christopher Paolini
this is for anyone who believes other than my rating (3/9/2006)
When I first got this book I read the prologe and put it away a was sorry. It seemed so stupid. I kept icting to read the rest though to understand what happened. I did and Paolini is one of the best authors ever. 2nd place beside Tamora Pierce. Eldset the second book in his Inheritance trilogy was just as good but it sucked about Eragons brother. About his originality. He may have used other fantasy books as a start but the plot is completely his own. I have read every fantasy book within my grasp and that accounts to over 500 books easily. Also Christophers publishing age doesn't matter. Its the fact that he put his heart and skill into creating his books. His grammar is spectacular and those who disagree couldn't see a good piece of writing if it was right under their noses. Clearly fantasy is not something you understand and neither is writing a fantasy plot that is completely original. There are hardly only any ideas left out there for people to pick up.
