Summary: Eragon
Review: My mother bought Eragon at [a local book retailer] when Christopher Paolini was here signing books. I am 14 and Eragon is my favorite book. I read it five times so far. Even though I know it's coming, the part where Brom dies makes me cry every time. I love the book cover. I take Eragon to school with me. My friends see me coming down the halls with Saphira's eye pointed outward. I feel Saphira's presence and protection....

Summary: Imaginative and Insightful
Review: I went to the library and saw this book lying on the shelf. The eye of a dragon with brilliant blue eyes stared out at me. I was intriguged to say the least. I took the book home and put off reading it for about a week. I finally got enough time to read the book. It took only one paragraph to get me hooked with the intricate details in which this story is told and the imaginative words created by the author and the creative plot line that gives twists that are desperatly needed for the dreary tv land that we now live in. I recomend this book to anyone who like fantasy novels and Tolkien and Harry Potter. I loved it so much that I decided to buy it.

Summary: Review of Eragon-- written by a young author
Review: My teacher stepped into the room, declaring lightly that she had been visiting a book fair over the weekend. I stared blankly as she presented book after book for the only other kids in my school-- two second graders. But my ears perked as she said, "This one I got especially for Alice, in a way. Eragon is by a young author from right here in Montana." My eyes widened as I fixed them on the great blue eye on the cover, surrounded by silver scales. A dragon! One of my favorite creatures in the known universe.
"Even though I only glanced through it, I am amazed at Christopher Paolini's use of words. I must say, you will probably enjoy this, Alice."
It had to be a dream. It just had to be. It was like the perfect match.. Eragon--me. I found myself reaching out greedily dispite myself, but quickly checked it and forcefully jammed my hands into my lap.
I only listened with half an ear as my teacher explained how she hadn't gotten it filed into the school library as of yet, but I didn't care. Eragon was soon in my hands, and I reluctantly set it to the side of my desk.
"I'll read it at recess," I thought to myself. Now, just a few weeks later, I find myself somewhere in the middle of the wonderful book of fantasy, magic, and adventure. I am frequently tempted to stash the book away in my backpack, dispite my teacher's warnings.
Someday, I knew it, I would find a copy of my own. I would never sell it. It was a beacon of hope for my own writings, and I knew that my children, too, would love the book as much as I did.

Summary: Bedtime story
Review: I purchased a signed copy of Eragon from the author at the Northwest Bookfest last month in Seattle. I was intruiged by this young man dressed in a Renaissance-era outfit. He was personable and talked me into getting a book. How could I not buy his book? It's not every day you meet an 18 year old who has a book published. I read the first two chapters while eating at the Bookfest. I brought the book home and my children, 8 and 10, wanted to know what the book with the blue eye was. That night I read the first two chapters to them as their bedtime story. They wanted me to keep reading. Instead, I promised to read Eragon to them each night. That was two weeks ago. I have held myself back from jumping ahead to find out what adventure Eragon, Brom, and Saphira have next, so I can read to the children their bedtime story. Soft light shines into their bedroom while Eragon is read. The children never want me to stop reading. From dinnertime to bedtime, they constantly are asking when can we go upstairs to our bedroom to hear the next installment of Eragon. The children are so taken with Eragon and Christopher Paolini, they ask questions about who he is, where he lives, what he eats, what color pen or pencil does he write with, does he use a computer? They never stop. When I read to them at night, Eragon is a novel in technicolor. We all see the story in our mind's eye. I feel like I go about my daily business with an Eragon DVD inserted into my head. I want to know how Eragon finishses, but we are savoring each chapter like fine wine. I love this book!

Summary: Amazing
Review: I read a ton of science fiction fantasy. My mom gave this to me as a present for going into my first debate tournament and doing very well. I got this book a few days ago and i just finished it. It's one of the best I have every read. This is better then Lord of the Rings, and I must say in many ways much better then Harry Potter. I strongly suggest reading this book. It will keep you entertained, and I promise you, you will definitaly be breatlessly waiting for the next installment in this series once you are done. This has action, magic, dragons, and a great plot that will keep you guessing. I am only 13 and even though I am young I have read a lot! of Science Fiction Fantasy books, and this is the Best. If you buy it treasure your time reading it, enjoy!

Summary: Amazon.com and the world should take notice of Paolini...
Review: Christopher Paolini was already quite the gifted writer at age 15 when he submerged himself in the writing of this book which he claims "ate him alive!" He is now 18 and I look forward to meeting him at Island Books on Mercer Island, WA when he visits on October 25th! At age 38, I am not yet at the close of this great classic, yet I am eagerly awaiting the next! I almost don't want to complete it...I don't want the story to end! My 12 and 14 year old sons are in line to read it next, since I rarely rave over a book. I want my sons to see what they can accomplish if they set their minds to it. What a joy to slip into this novel! I would give it 50 stars if that were an option.

Summary: I was a blindfolded man
Review: My librarian wife told me in very strong terms that she had a book I had to read. I just finished a book on John Adams, a thick and dense tome of history. I asked my wife what book and she tied a blindfold around my eyes and told me to sit still. Yes, Master, I am obedient! I figured she had one of her new tear-jerkers she simply had to read to me, hoping I would convert to her point of view. Instead, she begins reading Eragon to me. After my mandatory 15 minutes with the blindfold, I was sold on this book. My wife told me after reading out loud to me for an hour, that the author was a teenager. A teenager wrote this book? Sure, and I can levitate cars by focusing my laser eyebeams on the car. A short yelling match later, my wife was victorious, and I was convinced that a kid wrote Eragon. A kid somehow created a fantasy land as real as any of the fantasy classics, it's that good. It took me a week to finish it, but I had to savor the plot, descriptions, characters, and world of Alagaësia. Eragon is straight-up, the Real Thing. Andy L. Ladd
