Blah

I LOVED THE BOOK!

It is very hard now a days to right something that hasnt already been written so get off of his back.

OHH and he didnt get the name Eragon from Arogorn... he got it from the word dragon and changed the first letter.
Everyone shoyld read the book and form your own opinion. that's all i have to say

IM 16. I just reading this book for the second time since Ive had it. I have never read such an amzing and intrigueing book. Hats of to Paolini. This book is very fast paced but at the same time it is detailed. There is a wide range of characters, and a great story line. Some people say that it is like other books such as LOTR or Harry Potter. Other then the fact that Eragon has elves and dwarves in it, it is nothing like LOTR and especially not Harry Potter. Ive read many science fiction/fantasy books, and this book is the best one yet. I strongly recommend it to kids and adults of all ages.

This was an asum book!! So what if it has a lot of simularities with the Lotr? It must be getting harder and harder to write books. Almost every idea has been used at least once. anyway there is always a batrayer, a good guy, A wise helper, and enemy in a fantasy books. Also It as asum details. And like someeles said At lest he didn't make boring spots like in the golden compass series. I love this book. I've read more books than anyone i know and i think this is one of my top favorits. i'm a fantasy freck. you know with the dragons, wizards, and knights.
