I have to agree, it was one of the best books I've ever read. Though I hardly remember anything plot-related. Lawl, it's been so long since I've read it.

I've read it two or three times, as well as it's sequel Eldest.

Then I lost Eragon, and I was sad. But I found it recently, so I plan to read it again.

In my opinion, Edlest was better than Eragon, but eh. That might just be me.

I can't wait til the third book comes out next summer. ^^

I think it is a good book. There are some HUGE revelations in Eldest but unfortunately, the movie and game companies murdered it.

Eldest is just as good as Eragon. The ending caught my WAAAAY off though..

Don't read it, or I will kill you or something. xD

IT'S GOOOD .

I thought it was a bit boring.

I kind of didn't really like the Author's writing style and the plot seemed kind of predictable.

I didn't even read Eldest becuase of this.

OH I KNOW.

Even though the book was mediocre, I saw the movie, and it was a mediocre interpretation's of a mediocre book. That's like, 2 mediocres. I hated it.

But as I said before, I'm not going to read the sequels becuase I don't believe its worth it.

I shat bricks at the ending.

A very good book indeed.

I read part of the first book, but I lost interest and stopped reading...it just didn't move fast enough for my taste...but then again, my attention span is very short. XD

I read the book and it kind of annoyed me. It was boring and seemed to rob from a lot of other fantasy and even a couple sci-fi books I've read and enjoyed. I really am surprised no one sued the author for some pretty near direct rips from other sources.

I see why some people like it but eh, just wasn't original enough even for me.

Eragon was an okay book. It was a little boring because there are around uh... 300 chapters or them walking through fields. >_>; Eldest too was a little boring, but an improvement from Eragon. I do agree with Repliku; it did seem to rob a lot of other stories, particularly Star Wars and Lord of the Rings.

The movie was so hilariously bad.

The book took awhile for me to get into. My mother got it for me since I've had an obsession with dragons. I tried once and the second attempt I made I read the book.

I liked it even though it seemed rather slow at points. Eldest was a lot better since I liked the character of Oromis.

One of the greatest series ever!!!! I can't wait for the third book!

The movie wasn't all that great, movies for books rarley are. But I got to bored in this book. So I quit reading.

Exact same thing with me, my mom got me both for my obsession with dragons too. Weird huh?

It's one letter away from Dragon, so that would probably be why it caught both of your mother's eyes.

As far as the book itself went, I agree with you in saying that it was okay.

Considering the kid wrote it when he was 14 i'll give me much respect, but I agree with O R A N G E, the book is boring and somewhat predictable. Eldest to me was too long all though the ending brought a lot of the elements together strongly. But the whole elf forest stuff.....I wanted to shoot myself it was too drawn out.

This series is alright, though it sometimes felt torturous trying to get through Eldest. I honestly think half of that book could have been cut out. Also, though Paolini is a phenomenal fantasy writer and I think it's amazing that he came up with his own languages and everything...he should probably steer clear of romance, or at least try to improve his romance writing skills before attempting it again. I cringed at every scene where Eragon was infatuated with Arya who, in my opinion, was far too perfect. She was gorgeous, an elf, an amazing warrior, and on top of all that, a princess. I didn't like her character very much. Aside from that, I liked the series. I enjoyed Murtagh until he went all evil.

Yeah it was a bad movie...and I still have to wait for Brisingr (the 3rd book coming out in September I think) and the 4th book...that will take awhile...

The first book was great, but I think that Christopher Paolini kind of ripped the idea of this from Lord of the Rings. Just look at all the similarites. Eragon and Aragorn.

I have to say that the first book is a lot better than the second book.

Most sequels are worst then the first ones.

i've read it. i found it one of the best fantasy books i've read.

Me too i feel the same way toward things like that i dont ever read sequels unless the author amazes me with the first book like Harry POtter..I probably wouldn't have read if i hated TSS

I thought it was a good book at first. I read both books, and yet I feel like I would want to read the last one. I have both books, and first I did like it, but then as I thought the book over, I thought it was quite killing. It became boring for me, and I thought the writers way was quite random and it didn't seem real enough, and it was quite random for both of the books. Plus, the second book never seemed hitting to your mind, and saying, this seems real. It said to my mind, I wonder what random things you will read next, reader.

What?

As far as said movie goes, the book is far better in comparison to it. But a few problems even for me. Yet, movie and book did get an idea and its long forgotten.
