the best book ever
erogon was a great book because it had alot of cool stuff. I don't see why anyone would give it a 1, because I didn't notice anything untill the i saw the revew's so all i can say is this boook had magic dwarves and dragons the envy of any si-fie auther.

Eragon Review
Eragon is a book like many fantisy books.The writer has the same idea that is in another book and you can not blame someone because they have a simalar idea,just let yourself be caried through the pages and into the world of Alagaesia.Eragon has a new and different adventure on every page.I was so happy when the Eldest came out that I droped the book I was reading and went stright to it.I think it is one of the most exciting and wonderful books I will ever have the chance to read!! Bravo Mr.Paolini!

Loved the book
You people who don,t like the book don,t read it. But my son
made a dill with me. I read eragon, he reads harry potter 4
Well I,ve read eragon 4 times now and I don,t read a lot.
But I do now, I think Paolini is a very gifted kid. He has
inspired my son to write.

cool book
i loved this book! i think that yeh maybe alot of the ideas are a bit LOTR but yeh its still cool, it reminds me a bit of some kind of computer game and its fun and exciting especially when you read the second book as well.

I think gamers will enjoy this book the most. that or warhammer players... those urgals are so like beastmen!

if you found this book was a 1 or a 2 rating i recommend you read the second book because it explains alot more and changes alot of things you might have thought about the first book (ie arya's age)

Amazing!!!
I am in 7th grade and absolutely love this book. When describing it to friends, i say it is a mix between lotr and harry potter, both stories that I enjoy. To tell you the truth, the HP series are my favorite books, and Eragon is definetly comparible!!! I personaly think it is a better and more intriguing read then J. R. R. Tolkien's books, which sometimes can droan on and on.
At my school, there is a person who owns the book Eldest. There is already a waiting list full of people who want to borrow the book from this person. Everyone I know who has read Eragon loved it. I simply don't understand how some people rated this book a 1.

Eargon Lover Fan!
I loved the book. I already finished the second book *frowns* I have to wait for the third book. It has adventure, and, I couldn't stop reading it. I read it any chance given. If you haven't ready the book you need to. I keep hearing rumors about the "EARGON" movie. Is it true?
