i loved so much i hope he huries up and wrights that next one

This book is great beyond explination. I am looking forward to the rest of the books. Highly recomended for science fiction readers.

In my opinion, I believe Christopher Paolini has a great talent to write of fantasy and adventure. His book inspired me in reading the next books (I hope they make a movie too!). I can not wait much longer for the interesting book to continue its adventure in "The Eldest". My favorite character in this book is Brom, the storyteller/rider. He is mysterious, yet interesting in his own way. Brom is a trustworthy character in the book and is like a father to Eragon. I hope that Christopher Paolini will revive him in the next books, for I am deeply interested to hear what the next adventures would be like. To the author: "Thanks for writing the book!"

Paolini did not steal from other works. I have read several books in which there are Dragon Riders in which the riders and dragons can talk to each othet through their minds. Another thing, Eragon was not taken from "Aragorn" in LotR. It's Eragon because "d" and "E" are next to each other in the alphabet, and if you change the E to D, what do you get DRAGON!

I enjoyed Eragon. The book was one of the most suspenseful books I have read in a long while. Seeing as I am a writer myself, I know how dfficult it is to create suspense in a story. The very fact that Christopher Paolini managed to create such a riveting book earns him my admiration. I will refrain from divulging any of the plot, except that the question of Eragon's paternity is one of the things that kept me reading. I practically worship Tolkien, so I would despise a person who would stoop so low as to copy Tolkien's brillant work. I do not think that Christopher purposefully stole or even borrowed an idea from Tolkien. Elves, Dwarves, and dragons are used constantly in fantasy books, so they can be used by anyone. Some of the names of the characters or places in Eragon are similar to those of Tolkien's because Tolkien and Christopher got their names from the same or similar sources. And after creating a character's name and getting used to it, you cannot expect Christopher to change it just because it sounds like a name of Tolkien's. Whoever thinks that Christopher copied every part of Eragon from another book, can keep that opinion, but I disagree with the people who think that way.

Poulini only says that Eragon will leave Anglasia, not that he will go across the sea. Notice the island that lies offshore or the fact that only the land west of the Haderac Desert, south of the Du Weldenvarden, and north of Surda are considered Alanglasia by the members of the empire

Poulini is one of the best writers whose book(s) I have read. Even though he has borrowed ideas and plots from other writers, in our modern age it has become almost imposible not to do so. And, he is a much better writer than his competion, the person who wrote Harry Potter. Poulini is also able to seamlessly combine all of the ideas of the plot into one story alot better than some older and more experienced writers works that I have read in the past.

This book is soooooooo great!!! I've read almost all of the Dragon Riders of Pern (Anne Mcaffery, any one that loves dragons....read these, Christopher Paloni read these!) and any other book with dragons!!! I've been looking for the Eldest and the last book for almost 3 weeks. it took me 4 days to read Eragon, it was so great. anyone who has a problem with dragons can leave!!!
