Summary: Coolio
Review: I like the book, but it's kinda...eh... cliche, I suppose I could say. CLICHE! I like that word....Eragon's pretty good as it is, but it would be even cooler if they had some kind of...sacred powerful bread loaf or something...AND BOUNTY HUNTERS! Or does Eragon have that already? *goes to check*

Summary: A great book
Review: This book is one of the best I have read in a long time! I am a big Harry Potter fan and Eragon is as good or better than Harry Potter. I was surprised that such a young author wrote this book! Paolini uses a rich vocabulary that is beyond what the normal 15-19 year old has. The vocabulary helped make the mental images more clear and vibrant. I recommend Eragon to anyone who enjoys Harry Potter, sci-fi/fantasy, or to anyone who enjoys a good read.

Summary: Best Book Ever!!
Review: (...) At least a week ago I completed Eragon by Christopher Paolini. It...is...GREAT!!! I would give this book 5 stars hands down any day. It's about Eragon and his dragon Saphria. They, with Brom the storyteller, travel around Alagaesia in order to bring justice and freedom. I personally liked it better than Harry Potter, Artemis Fowl, or any other book I have ever read. If you like fantasies, I 100% guarantee you'll love this. I can't wait for Eldest, which is book 2. I want to spread the word about THE best book ever.

Summary: Fantastic fantacy of adventure
Review: Movie makers would do well to look into producing "Eragon" for the movie going population. This book is every bit as exciting as the "Harry Potter" or "Lord of the Rings" series. Mr. Paolini has a great future if his first book is any indication of his writing abilities.

Summary: A Fantastic Fantasy
Review: This is the best book I have ever read; I am 10 years old, so reading a book with over five hundred pages seemed impossible at first. But, once I started reading, I just couldn't stop. It took me 5 weeks to read it, but it was worth it.In this story a farm boy becomes a skilled dragon rider. His teacher's name was Brom and his dragon's name was Sphira.There where at least ten battles and all where exciting.That wraps up my review.

Summary: Best fantasy book ever
Review: Despite what other people have said about this book, it is most likely the best fantasy book that I have EVER read! The people that complained about his language and choice of words obviously didn't read the book that I read. His vocabulary in this book was OUTSTANDING! I can't believe that he is only 19! And, just because he knows to use other words besides 'said' doesn't make the book tacky!!!!! I think that its awesome that he uses rich vocab. Many books written by accomplished authors don't even write as well as this man did!!! I can't believe that people could criticize a book and dislike it just because he has wonderful vocabulary in this book. The people whom criticized it probably are just upset and jealous because they didn't know what the words meant and don't have that good of a vocabulary. This book is awesome with a deep plot, developed characters, and tense battles. Read it!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: An Excellent Start to Great Series!
Review: While the world is ingulfed in the like of Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and others of the like, I just happened to wonder on the Teens section of randomhouse.com and this book caught my eye. After reading a few pages while I was on break at work, I simply had to buy a copy and read it.Taking insperation (and borrowing heavly from Anne McCaffrey), enter the newest teen-age author Christopher Paolini's massive (yes, a hefty 500+ pgs.) debut novel. The plot is about a young 16 year old boy named Eragon who discovers a shiny blue stone while out on a hunting trip. Hoping to sell it for food, he takes it home and discovers that it is actually a dragon egg. The dragon hatches and Eragon's simple, farm-boy life is changed forever. After nearly lossing everything dear to him, Eragon is forced to leave by Brom, the village story-teller (who has a few secrets of his own), who accompanies him on his journey into the detailed world of Alagaesia, a Tolkin-like land full of evil creatures, dwarves, elves, and many more who will become Eragon's allies and enemies. And that's just Book I! Currently, Paolini is hard at work writting Eldest, Book II. While readers eagerly await that novel, Eragon is, by far, the best in what a teen author can produce. While Amelia Atwater-Rhodes may have started the trend, she still has a lot to learn about exceptional grammer and just writting a novel all together. Paolini goes to great lenghts to give his readers a detailed and impressive story that is an udder joy to read. It's hard to imagine that he started this novel when he was only 15! Eragon is seemingly flawless. You get a colorful cast of characters, gorgous landscapes, a plot that doesn't try to hard to be impressvie and flashy, and doesn't live you a rotten cliff-hanger. All in all, I cannot find anything that is wrong with novel. However, my only real complant is that Eragon is a little too "meaty". The novel doesn't need to be 500+ pages (a standerd 300-350+ is an average for most novels, especially for the start of a Triology such as this) and I found myself wondering on several occassions. But, neverless, I forged on, greatly apperciating on Paolini's masterful skills with the pen. I would recommend anyone who enjoies book like Harry Potter, or just an avid reader of Sci-Fi/Fantasy!

Summary: Harry Potter for kids, Eragon for teens!
Review: A book you don't want to put down once you get going and one that you'll want to read many times, each time something you didn't notice comes to life and you love it even more. Few books can do that do you, and this one did to me. Like Harry in Harry Potter Eragon is thrown into an andventure that will change him and the world he lives in. However, it is much more mature with our man character already becoming a young adult with bloody fights and battles.
