Summary: Paolipini Rocks!
Review: Christopher Pailioni is amazingly gifted writer, reading Paolumini story takes you away to world full of magical magic things and twinkly glitery stuff. It's incredible. Its really cool to see such a young guy like Paompelini make such a wonderful book, Plumpuli should get an award. As for those claims that Paelimei copied Lord of the Rings, fooey! Those movies came out after Poalinis wrote his storybook. Id give Palolina 5 stars but he forgot one thing, the mostest important thing for a childrens book, pictures!

Summary: Logan sees all
Review: Eragon is an awsome book that will spark the interest of "The Lord of the Rings" fans. Eragon gave me the patients to start a "Harry Potter" book without falling away from interest. No book could ever match its excellence, I know because that book has kept me occupied longer than any book I've read. At the back of the book the foreign language is translated for you. The author provides action,suspense,and vivid details for mind-eye picture. This story is about a struggling farm boy who finds what he thinks is an ordinary polished blue stone, So he takes it to a merchant to find out how much it is worth, and that night the egg hatches and choses him as its rider. Now he must go on a journey to defeat an evil king who is also a Dragon Rider who rides Shurekun! A legion of men and elves fight agianst him, which side will eragon choose?

Summary: plagiarism...you say tomato...
Review: Okay, so Christopher Paolini turned his thesaurus upside down and shook out a few different words, but, for all of his rearranging, he couldn't cover the fact that this book is completely unoriginal. Intellectual property by any other name...
Those searching for a cliche can find solace in "This book is a cure for insomnia".
It's been said that when a new book is published, read an old one. If you have read only the major works of fantasy, read or seen "Lord Of The Rings", or have even a vague remembrance of the plotline of the "Star Wars" movies, then take heart, for you can say with all honesty that you have read "Eragon".
It's no excuse that the author is just 19. He can be tried as an adult, you know.

Summary: Amazing!!
Review: Eragon is a great book. I was amazed that it was written by someone so young. Some say that it is not original and is just following a "Tolkien" layout. This is not so. The idea that a young boy and a young dragon growing up together is quite new. I cannot wait for the next one.

Summary: Unreadable
Review: That this book was ever published at all says a lot of how low book publishers can go to cash in on the "Lord of the Rings" phenomena. Certainly not a book for adults or even teenagers. I gave the book up after three chapters and gave it to my 14 year old daughter. I then reconsidered, took it back and threw it away as being even too poorly written for even for one of her age. Simplistic phrasing coupled with an inane and overused plot are only a couple of it's faults. The writer would do well to spend a few years reading good books written in this genera before attempting another book.

Summary: MARVELOUS book written by a boy wonder!
Review: The young genius, Christopher Paolini had graduated from high school at the early age of 15, so it's small wonder he has a great knowledge of history, norms, languages, etc. And he also has a GREAT sense of vocabulary for one so young...I was really blown away!Written in the traditional fairy-tale vein of "Star Wars", "The Lord of Rings", and even "Harry Potter", it is a coming-of-age story about a long-suffering young boy who was whisked away from his humble way of life by a sudden turn of events and found himself a legendary hero about to save the land - perhaps against his will. And it is told in such a breezy pace with beautiful, deft weaving of words that would quickly and easily conjure up colorful images as rich as those of Tad Williams' epic-spanning "Dragonbone Chair" tapestry. It is extremely fresh here - in spite of some negative reviews that the story is "predictable" and uses lots of fantasy cliches. That didn't stop the book from being such a great pleasure to read and follow the appealing characters into the thick of their spine-freezing adventures, of course. The new twist of this tale includes a sapphire-bright dragon who accompanies the boy and becames his faithful servant as they head into the great wars to ward off the approaching evil and help bring justice back to the blighted land. And, she - yes, a female dragon - is portrayed as a very intelligent and even witty creature that you, too would come to befriend. The young author is extremely lucky to have a very supporting family who even owns a publishing company to bring about this stunning book - even though it had gone through lots of editing process. But who is to blame the budding writer? He's just starting out exactly like his own hero!

Summary: Beautiful novel
Review: When I first got this book I was not particularily interested, I hadn't read a good dragon book in a long time and I doubted I would read it again or even finish it. I read the summary and began the book, I couldn't look up, not if I miss an important chunk of info about Eragon or his dragon. The book had everything I like, the fantasy and the excitment, mystery and tragedy, adventure and a feeling that something really bad was going to happen and most of the time it did. The book is mostly about a young farmer boy named Eragon who stumbles upon a strange stone that is all blue and white. This "stone" as it turns out is actually a dragon egg, after it hatches Eragon is pushed into a world of magic, of power, of greed and of love as an evil king hunts him down. Together, Eragon and Saphira struggle to survive and strive in cruel world in which you trust nobody until they save you and kill anybody who is against you. The writing is expertly made in a subtle yet descriptive way leaving readers begging for more. Christopher Paolini is now in the making of the second book "Eldest" and I shure hope it comes out soon!!

To all who are reading this... U need to have a special soul to feed from fantasy if u have it, and if u like to dream get this book, it made me dream for many hours. Thank you Christopher!
