Summary: Nice book, IF you are into fantasy and Wizards
Review: BORING!! I found reading Harry Potter was MUCH more enjoyable then this piece of trash! I found that comparing this book to Harry Potter series is like comparing apples and oranges. The story line is a little slow and at times drags a little. The story could have picked up the pace and quit with all the endless little reminders about how the dragon riders was betrayed and how the king came into power! It seems every time Eragon encounters a new person or a elf or a dwarf, you are reminded about the fate of the dragon riders and/or how the king came into power. And some Eargon's traveling companions and people he meets. It would have been nice if they are suppose to be teaching young Eragon how to use magic and about the history of the dragon riders/elves/drawfs/etc instead of just gives out drips and drabs of it, and giving you the reader a sense of frustration Change the settings to outer space, the dragon to a A.I spaceship and you can compare this with many sci-fi books like Star Wars series. This author shows promise (NOT!), he just need to pick up the pace a little and make the main charaters a little more interesting.

Summary: One of the Best!
Review: Every time I would pick up this book I would never want to put it down. The story gets deeper and deeper as you move into it, and has a few twists along the way. By the time I was done, I found myself searching my house for books that were similar to Eragon because I did not want it to end! Read it and you will most likely be amazed. Even though it has some similarities with Lord of the Rings, it doesn't put out the magic of it.

Summary: Light fun fantasy reading
Review: For a first book this is quite good. Paolini does use a typical setting--the farmboy with hidden talents and destiny. The characters he encounters are fairly typical fantasy types as well (even if they come with different names) You will find Goblin-like creatures, elves, undead, wizards. All this is quite fun. The story moves fairly quickly, the plot has just enough variation to keep you reading, if not particularly surprised. (If you need the unexpected read George R.R. Martin instead). If you feel like a quick light fantasy read this is your book. If you are looking for something deep with complex characters, intricate plotline and unusual creatures, look elsewhere.

Summary: Cannot wait for the next one
Review: OK this was a great book. People may say that its a lot like all the other fantasy books out there, but this one is a mix of them all put into one. This is also a fairly easy read, its fun for adults and an escape for kids. This series promises to be great, he puts so many premonitions about what is going to happen, u have to read the 2nd book after you read this one. GREAT BOOK!!!READ IT!!!!

Summary: B.O.R.I.N.G!
Review: I think this book was horrible! I only give credit to the begining of the book and the author for being young. I was really hooked with it in the begining but it just became boring. It was the same stuff over and over again. It was like you could predict what was going to happen. I only read up to a page in the 230's and found out ho the book ended by my friend and it was just as i predicted. I would recomend this book to people who are really having a bad day and want to read a really bad book. :(!

Summary: Eragon
Review: When my mom first bought Eragon for me for Christmas I was somewhat reluctant to read it, but by the time I was done I wished I had started it much sooner.
Eragon, by Christopher Paolini, is a book about a boy living in the world Algaësia here evil monsters roam, a tyrannical king rules, and dragons once filled the skies. Now; however, the world hasn't seen a dragon for many decades and a poor farmer boy named Eragon is about to receive a wonderful gift from fate. When he finds a mysterious blue rock in the forest that turns out to be a dragon egg Eragon is thrust into a world he never knew existed, and launched into a quest that shall be forever told in legend.
I really liked this book because it kept me always turning to the next page. I like how there is almost never a lull in the action, but when there is it is still interesting. I also love how Eragon's dragon, Saphira, is portrayed as an equal, or superior to humans instead of portraying it as a stupid animal.
Eragon is an all around gnarly book.

Summary: Eragon? Of course!
Review: A farmer boy goes hunting for food so that his family will not starve. But on his way, a mysterious blue stone shows up in his path. The locals will not take it, and soon the stone proves to be incredible. Read it yourself to find out what will happen to Eragon on his adventure through the country-side! This story has a few humorous parts and a fantastic plot. I would recomend this to anyone over ten.

Summary: D.U.L.L.
Review: My cousin offered me this book, saying it was much like David Eddings, Lord of the Rings, and Harry Potter all rolled into one story. Okay. The true fact was, this book was exactly that. The plot was almost exactly identical to Eddings' 'The Belgariad'. A farmboy who lost his parents flees his little village with a storyteller who isn't all he appears. Somehow in the span of a few chapters, he becomes a blademaster and magician. The magic is a copy, and even the scene where he releases his gift (with the blue fire) isn't original. The only real difference from any story that I've read is that this boy has a dragon, who he is mentally linked to, he being a 'Rider'. The story itself plods along, and it seems that Eragon blacks out at the end of every chapter. Saphira was a little amusing, but only a little. The non-human races are Tolkien copies (which, in my opinion, isn't the greatest source to copy from), with boisterous dwarves and the almost-divine elves. Some of the plotlines are a little unbelievable, even for a fantasy. Arya emerges from a coma after weeks of dying by slow poison, and in one night is fit enough to duel Eragon? Please! Hopefully book two will make up for this a little more, but honestly, I think I can already figure out the connection between Eragon and Murtagh already, so I won't be keeping my fingers crossed.
