Summary: Marvelous! Simply marvelous!!!
Review: This book was one of the greatest books i've ever read, and I've read a ton of books. This deserves to be made into a movie, put into the "hall of fame" where Harry Potter stands. This was descriptive, interesting, it had you hooked from the very beginning. It totally rocked! I can't wait until the next ones!

Summary: That's when I reach for my revolver...
Review: ...The prose is an unholy mish-mesh of melodramatic simple sentences. A perfect example: "Wind howled through the night, carrying a scent that would change the world. A tall Shade lifted his head and sniffed the air. He looked human except for his crimson hair and maroon eyes. He blinked in surprise. The message had been correct: they were here. Or was it a trap? He weighed the odds, then said icily, "Spread out; hide behind trees and bushes. Stop whoever is coming . . . or die." The story telling doesn't involve characterization, so much as the descriptive details you might expect to find on a Dungeons and Dragons character sheet. It seems that in some sectors "young adult" writing is simply synonymous with bad writing, but I must stress that this simply isn't so. Examples from my childhood - such as Madeleine L'Engle or Ursula K. Le Guin, or even contemporary writers - The Spiderwick Chronicles (with DiTerlizzi's excellent illustrations) and Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events come to mind as contemporary examples of creative fantastical story telling. The plot is hackneyed and clichéd. Readers are unlikely to come out of the experience with a single thing that couldn't be taken from the typical fantasy series of the past fifty years, be it McAffrey's works or the Dragonlance Chronicles. Don't let the publicity fool you. This book is certifiably awful. Like Subway's Jared, it's an example that our society is leaning towards the celebration of individuals who try harder at selling themselves than at accomplishing something worthwhile. I've worked with young writers for a while as something of an instructor and mentor, aiding them in improving their work and reaching their target audience, and the vast majority of them have produced writing far better than this. I find it incomprehensible that people can welcome something that isn't even up to par with other works by those of the same age. This lacking falls well short of even Jordan and Goodkind, who I consider terrible enough. Don't waste your time. ...

Summary: Squee!
Review: It's a good book. but it kind of has a lotta cliches in it...what it needs is a sacred powerful breadloaf or something that the Shade's after. Not a blue rock...thing. Like the Sacred Muffin of Doom...Er...like I said, the book is good, but it could do with a little driving off the main road, if you know what I mean. Deal out some twists and turns...act like you're going one way and then suddenly veer off course and do something completely unexpected. That'll impress me!

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: Best Book!!!!
Review: I think this is the best book. If you liked "Lord of the Rings" you'll love this. It's packed with action, adventure and sorrow. I loved this book - I can't wait until the sequel comes out!

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.
