Summary: Reading many books in my life time....
Review: THIS BOOK WAS GREAT! Okay, okay, we know it is the the most descriptive book on the shelves but after reading Eion colfer books, J.K. Rowling, Corniela Funke, Philip Pullman (writer of his dark materials series) Diane Duane and Tolkien (Lord of the Rings) you have to say Eragon is a mix of all of them. This is the fun of reading a book all over again that doesn't have way too many words that confuse the younger readers (unlike Lord of the Rings) and has a nice twist of magic, (Harry Potter, Philip Pullman, Diane Duane) a hint of Love to come, (Philip Pullman, Harry Potter) action, ( Lord of the Rings) adventure, (Lord of the Rings, Philip Pullman,Corniela Funke, Diane Duane, Eion Colfer) and pure wit (Eion Colfer) all bundled up in a nice thick book. It is not really short. (200 pages or less)but not in EXTREMELY long (1000+) and when you look at it and see this cool dragon face on the cover looking back at you, you know it is fantasy, you know you will be able to read this book and feel the magic pulsing through your veins once more as you are sucked into it's pages. No feeling is trully better.

Summary: A Young Author with a Promising Future as a Writer!
Review: Considering the author was fifteen when he started writing this book it is a well-written adventure. You can tell at times he is a little basic in his verbage but I think with his maturing as a author this will even out. Has a wonderful imagination and would recommend this book. Looking forward to the next installment.

Summary: Great Book!!!
Review: A blue stone waits in the forest. Waiting for the right person to come and claim it but, it must choose carefully for its fate depends on the person who picks it up. Soon, the answer comes right into the forest: Eragon. Finding the stone he takes it home. But it is not a stone but an egg! Several days later, the egg hatches into a beautiful blue dragon, one of whose race is nearly extinct and is named after another dragon. The dragon is named: Saphira. Eragon soon realizes that this dragon is wanted terribly by the Empire and his price of learning this is the death of a very close family member. Together, with the help of unlikely friends, Eragon and Saphira journey, becoming one and becoming what Eragon's fate has always been: A Dragon Rider.
Eragon is a great story of never giving up when you feel like there is nothing else you can do. Paolini binds together an epic story of Elves, Dwarves, Shades, Urgals and many fantasy creatures and species while following Eragon and Saphira on an incredible journey. As you start the book, you are suddenly grasped into a different world that you live n. Christopher Paolini creates a realistic scenes making you part of the story.
Eragon is detailed, full of action and grabs the readers' attention almost making them not want to stop. I would recommend this adventurous novel to anyone who enjoyed books like Lord of the Rings, East and InkHeart.

Summary: I fell in love...
Review: I fell in love when I read this book. I locve this book and I can't wait till the next one. After Eragon finds the egg he keeps the Dragon for a while in his yard out of sight. One day he takes a ride on Saphira but while he is gone urgalls come and destroy his house and his uncle. His only living relative besides his brotherish person. This sets him on a wild goose chase across desert and woods to find the killers. He soon finds out he is meant to be a dragon rider. He takes on the superior role of trying to keep an elf alive while trying to figure out if he can trust some of the people he meets on the way. I recommend this book to readers of any age. If you can keep the complexity of the book sr\traight that is.

Summary: Yet another commercialized disappointment.
Review: Forced dialogue, Poor characterization, and almost no emotional pull renders an otherwise good story into meaningless drivel. The glaze on my eyes didn't clear until after page 150. (Enough time to blink!) It always saddens me when good money is spent on something that is seemingly all hype and no substance.

Though most people (probably adults) say that he copied other authors, you have to admit that he has done a great job for 15 (now 19) year old. I look forward to reading the rest in the trilogy

Summary: Nothing new, why the hype?
Review: Story was okay, just not the best writing. Seemed like a typical fantasy with absolutely no surprises. There are a lot better fantasies out there--try the Book of Three or even Tamora Pierce before this...

Summary: fantasy cliche does not mean bad book.
Review: I've heard the constant complaints that Eragon falls into the category that every other "wannabe" fantasy novel falls under. Although I will not argue with the fact that the book is primarily about a dragon and utilizes the ever-so-popular 2-page map at the beginning, I find that these fantasy clichés do not detract from the writing or the storyline. I generally characterize the quality of a story by its ability to hook a reader and draw him/her into the story. I read this books from start to finish in two days, neglecting many other more important matters as I often do while reading a good book. To state the fact quite frankly, if you enjoy a good old fantasy novel and don't mind a few previously used fantasy elements, this book will leave you feeling quite satisfied.
