Summary: Eragon¿Fantasy Distilled
Review: The first thing that any potential reader needs to know is that in Eragon they have found a book containing the distilled essence of fantasy-an epic quest, a majestic dragon, and a dark evil-but also a book containing the rare genius of Christopher Paolini, a completely new writer to the field, that breathes into the story a vitality and freshness that makes you think, "This is what all those other fantasy authors were trying to write."The characters of Eragon at first seem like your basic archetypal fantasy people: a young boy without a mysterious past, an old storyteller who obviously knows more than he's telling, an evilly twisted magic user, and a grand elven lady. But as you become immersed in the story-which occurs fairly quickly-the characters begin to take on a life of their own, becoming more real as each event plunges them further into danger and uncertainty, so that by the time the last page falls they are old friends, ones that you eagerly look forward to seeing again. Christopher's prose breathes life into the characters of Eragon. The characters are not the only strength of Eragon, however. The land of Alagaesia in which they live is also incredibly realistic, and it and the trials that Eragon faces lend credibility to the story that much fantasy lacks. For although Eragon is fantasy to the core, it also contains many realistic elements. Eragon is not able to overcome all odds from innate "gifts" but instead must work for his achievements. Eragon is a boy trying to find his way in a world that has suddenly become much more hostile than ever before, and his story is one of tangible reality. And this is why Eragon is such an incredible book. Not because it is excellently written (even though this is another good reason to read it), nor because it embodies so much of what fantasy has come to mean, but because Christopher Paolini has breathed a realistic life into his characters and their world which makes the reader care. Or to sum it up in a single short phrase: This is a darn good book.

Summary: Yeah Eragon
Review: Wow umm what to write? This is one of my favorite books I have ever read! I loved it! I knew I would love it from the first chapter and I ended up reading the last half in one sitting because it was too exiting! This is the greatest book and it is amazing that someone so young wrote it. I think it is going to be extremly popular as soon as word gets out about it. I cannot wait for the sequel!

Summary: Somebody help me!
Review: A girlfriend told me I had to read Eragon. So I got the book.
Eragon is my sleep's nemesis. I have seen more sunrises because of Christopher Paolini than because of all the alarm clocks I've ever owned. I've read Eragon three times back to back.
Somebody help me! I can't stop reading Eragon. I'm living in Alagaësia.
When's Eldest coming out? Movie?

Summary: Christopher Paolini's wields a mighty story with "Eragon".
Review: I walked into Hastings Books in Billings Montana a week ago and a young man in midevil garb called out to me "Do you like Dragons and swords and fantasy?" I stopped and visited with Chirstoper for about 10 minutes,you know usual questions. I became very impressed with him as a person he signed a copy and I took it home. My daughter drove home I read the prologue. From the first page I was drawn into Alagaesia near a small farm town called Carvahall. The story Took me across Alagasia in a fantastic trek of discovery, history and danger. Between work painting the house and two small children the following Friday I was wondering when are the next two books comming out.

Summary: ERAGON joins my favorites!
Review: ERAGON (the main character) combines the elves, dwarves, and magic we expect with (just one) brilliant blue dragon, and a wide assortment of fascinating, mysterious, and believable characters. The "Shade" is a new and exceptionally nasty type of "shady" (sorry about that!) character (one is plenty!) In Eragon, the magic is the flow of events, as magic dramatically tires the user, possibly to death, an unusual and extraordinary limit forcing magicians to use care and judgement! This is the first book I have read TWICE in less than two weeks! It did however, have two disappointments -- on page 464, IT's OVER! and on p. 465, we find it's not over, but we do not know when the next segment (ELDEST) of this planned trilogy will arrive! (Great gnashing of teeth!) I enjoyed ERAGON right up with Tolkien, Clarke's RENDEVOUS WITH RAMA, and Heinlein's DOUBLE STAR (probably my all time SciFi favorite)!

Summary: Went well beyond what I expected
Review: Five stars, four bones, two thumbs up. Major accomplishment by this young one. Eragon will be around for a long time to come. Paolini's fledgling career as an author and highly competent illustrator - take a look at the book cover and maps on the inside of the book - is set on course for greatness. I hope it won't be long before the next installment of the the Inheritance trilogy comes out. Dude, great book! Kewl!

Summary: WOW!
Review: Eragon is an absolutely stunning book! It will grab you by the throat, and not let you go until you've finished it. Definitely is on par with Lord of the Rings. Christopher is great in person - book signing in Hastings - as well as being a stupendous writer. I can't wait until the next installment is published...though I'll be staying up until 3:00 AM reading it. Keep up the good work!
