Eldest: Inheritance, Book II
by Christopher Paolini
Horrible! (12/17/2006)
Honestly, I cannot begin to explain how awful this book is. I couldn't bare reading any further from about half way through. As a writer, it is often common to find yourself repeating ideas, lines, or similar motifs from previously read novels. It is a struggle to retain complete originality when writing; that is why if I am writing something, and I find myself pulling ideas from other novels, I will stop writing that peice completely, so that I may retain originality. What bothers me the most about Eragon and Eldest, is that they by no means deserve to have been published. There are many day to day writers who struggle with finding a publisher, that are much more talented writers. Eldest is in every form plagerism.
