Summary: Its good, really good
Review: I finished Eragon on Veteran's Day. We had off of school! Yeah! It is one of the best I have read in a long time! I am a big Robert Stanek fan and Eragon is just as good. I would give this book 5 stars any day. I personally didn't like Harry Potter but I would recommend it to Harry Potter fans and anyone who enjoys a good read. I would also recommend the books by Robert Stanek.

Summary: Entertaining
Review: Christopher Paolini, I believe, has a bright future. His first book, "Eragon", is probably the best opening book written since "Magician" by Feist, offering really lovable characters, vast and still unexplored world, a classic struggle between Good and Evil, well-described battle scenes, challenging magic system and leaving the reader hungry for the next one.
Well done, Chris.

Summary: All or Nothing
Review: It's odd that the reviews of this book all seem to be either glowing praise with 5 stars, or complete disappointment (1 star).I'm about half way through this book, and let me tell you, absolutely nothing interesting has happened yet. Paolini's writing is full of promise, but in this book it is clumsy and boring. Character interaction feels forced, and there is no chemistry. The worst part is the pacing. This book is a terribly slow read. I cannot imagine the story needing to continue over a part II and part III. I will read the remainder of this book to see if it improves. But at this point, I have to admit, the positive reviews puzzle me. This book is not what those reviews promised it would be.

Summary: New fans of Saphira, Eragon and C. Paolini
Review: I bought this book for my 13 year old son. He has devoured all the Tolkien, Rowling and McCaffrey, Pullman etc at our disposal. As usual, I read it too, what fun! The characters are well rounded and the pace is wonderful. If we were reminded of Middle Earth at times - all the better, as we felt we "knew" the landscape already. This is a wonderful story, we are looking forward to the sequel.
Quite an accomplishment for such a young author. An inspiration to other young writers.

Summary: I think I'll like Eragon better than Harry Potter......
Review: What happens when you want to read something full of magic, but absolutely dislike Harry Potter books? Eragon is the solution. Being it full of magical tales to tell, Eragon, a poor farm boy finds a polished blue stone when hunting in dangerous woods and thinks it might be valuable. When he finds it hatches, it almost destroys his life a few months later. His uncle, the only person who looks after him is killed by the mysterious people who are looking for the egg. He goes on an adventure with a storyteller named Brom to hunt down the evil, but Eragon finds out a lot more than he wished too.. Pros
-Action, and suspense to every chapter
-The authors type of writing inspires
- MAY TEACH YOU A LESSON IN LIFE....
-A teenager wrote the book, HOW FABULOUS Cons
-The author explains too much of the gory scenes I give the book 5 stars because it is inspiring, action and suspense is included in every chapter, and a teenager wrote it. Most of all though, it is because it may teach you a lesson in life.
This book is definetly better than Potter, because it is something different, and life doesn't always turn out well. Plus, what would an adult know about a teenagers life. I'm still trying to figure that out.
I am waiting for the sequel, Eldest Inheritance II which comes out sometime in 2004. The reason, BECAUSE THE BOOK IS GOOD!

Summary: JORDAN
Review: Eragon Book one of Inheritance is about this guy who happens to find an egg walking in the woods one day. It happens to be a Dragon egg. One day it hatches and Eragon touches it and a surging pain goes through his arm. Eragon dosen't know that his destiny is to become a Rider.

Summary: a good read
Review: Eragon was a very good story and I will definitely read part two when it comes out. I think that it is great that a sixteen year old wrote this but don't consider it children's fiction. It was a little too violent for kids. You can tell that he is a big fan of Tolkien and I like stories in that vein too. It is not as much of a Lord of the Rings rip off as say Sword of Shannara but there are similarities in his world and Tolkien's. I do like the relationship between the boy and the dragon. It is a great concept. I do hope that Christopher Paolini isn't too busy promoting Eragon that he hasn't started part two!

Summary: Hotter than most veteran writers
Review: This young man has the spirit of Anne mccaffrey flowing in him. I read a lot of books and a lot of garbage and this young man has incredible potential. I won't comment on the book cause you can tell from the editorial review what it is about. I can explain it no better. This young one is hot. I am waiting for eldest book 2 to come out, cause for a person of 15 years to what write what people twice his age do and not quite this good is sad!! Don't get me wrong I love my anne Mccaffrey I consider her one of the best writers. I just want it known that christopher paolini is hot young and coming up. This book WILL keep you interested. I give Chris mad props.

Summary: Eragon is Paolini
Review: I have just finished reading a fantastic book! The whole time I am thinking about the abilities of C.Paolini and Eragon. I was first caught by the cover, that huge amazing work by Palencar, I'm not familiar with Palencar, but he made sure the dragon knew me. As I read the jacket I was drawn to all things that make my reading of fantasy a joy. An amazing story. I will be looking for Paolini in the new book section along with my other writers. Having lived in Montana for a few years, it is good to see that Montana has as many surprises as it appears Christopher has in store. Not to be limited to any one age group, Eragon is there for the ages, and for all ages. If you like Orson Scott Card, Terry Brooks, David Eddings, Christoper Paolini is a must read author.

Summary: Better than average
Review: I read this book because of its description as the new "Harry Potter". Rowling's books are outstanding because of the novelty of her ideas in this extremely competitive genre. Unfortunately, Paolini's material is wholesome but stale, borrowing too much from his predecessors in this field . At the same time, this would be an excellent introduction to the world of fantasy fiction, particularly for the younger readers. I found his literary style clean and direct, with just the right amount of descriptiveness to bring a world to life, but he betrays his young age with limited sub-plots. Robert Jordan, he ain't (for better or worse). Hopefully, he will get off the much beaten track in the future. A good christmas gift for the young uns
