What readers think of Eldest, plus links to write your own review.

Eldest is one of the best books ever. It is even better than The lord of the Rings. All of those that think not do not know much about literature. This book shall be a classic forever. This writer is very talented and shall write many great novels for many years to come.

Eldest is one of the great books I ever read it is actually the first book that I can really understand and actually the book is really nice... you can really enhance your ability to imagine a world full of magic even its like Harry Potter but its better than HP!

I strongly resent the 2 ratings of 1 on the first page. For one the comment that Nasuada and Roran do not matter to the story is completely crazy. The story shouldn't just be about Eragon and Saphira, that would get incredibly boring. The views of other characters is important, compelling and have to do with the storyline. If Chris had not put in either story the book would have been completely different. Having Roran suddenly float down the river on the near-to-last page would have been lame, and for readers to understand what had happened to him there would have had to be a 50 page ending of him telling the story. I cant grasp why anyone would want a 600 page book about 2 characters, although for book one, 1 character was appropriate. The saying of parts of a book are unimportant means you could say Elva was also unimportant, but she is really a key part of the book. I enjoyed this book and have read it many times. One of my favorite to date. I recommend it

I liked this book because it kept my attention unlike a lot of other books and who cares if it is like Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings it is still a good book and those of you who think other wise just don't like the fact that this guy wrote a good book... so before you start hating .. think about what you are saying .. if you are saying that his book is like LOTR or HP and then saying it sucked then you are implying that HP and LOTR sucked as well ..

Unlike some of the people who have entered reviews about Eldest I think it was AWSOME!!!!
The entire time I read it I was hoping that the 3rd and final addition of the Inheritance triliogy would come out sooner. I also think that Christopher Paolini did a most wonderful
job on Eragon. Here's to hoping that the next one will be even better than the first 2!!!!!

I love this book! My all time favorite part of this book is when Eragon Meets Orick and Galder for the first time.

This book is the most incredible book i have ever read.

I have already read this book 5 times not to mention how many times i read Eragon. with every page I was on the edge of my seat I cried and I laughed ,i awaited each twist with baited breath, and I can only hope the next book can be released soon. Christopher Paolini is a genius more than that he is a wizard with literature. i have to say one thing if this book was compared to the likes of harry potter or the lord of the rings eldest would come out on top. This book is a work of art, more than that it is a treasure.

Eldest . . . is one of the most incredible books ever written. The way Christopher Paolini writes transports readers to another world, a world that seems so alive that it is hard to bare. You can't put it down at night, and when you do, you make yourself wake up early to pick it up again. When you have finished the book, you can't wait until the next one comes out, so you read it over and over again, each time understanding more and more of Eragon's world. Round of applause for the magnificent works of Paolini!
