Eragon (the book/trilogy). What is your opinion of it?

Any and all opinions welcome. What you like about the trilogy, any nitpicks you have with it, or anything else.

No flaming. Respect others' opinions. Just because someone disses something you like, doesn't give you the right to insult them/their mothers/etc.

And please, please, PLEASE.... Type out your words. Chatspeak is all right, but there's a point that it becomes a foreign language.

Anyway, discuss to your heart's content. :D

 

I think Eragon is very well writiten, for a author of fifteen. Of course, the book was FAR better than the book, I must admit, but still!

It's been my favorite series, and I can't wait for the next book coming out.

Ed Speleers is a hottie. <3

 

*shakes head* Are fifteen-year-olds thought to be such aweful writers? I find it strange how teens are always complaining about adults treating them like mindless children, yet they often do the same exact thing within their own age genre.

Also, I'd like to correct you. I'm sorry, but I've heard that so many times, I'm sick. The kid started writing it at 15. He finished when he was 18. And he was homeschooled, so he had plenty of time.

 

I'm fifteen myself, and I write constantly, so I think I'm within my rights to say this: I thought the first Eragon book was very poorly written. I didn't think his sentence structure and word choice were as good as they could have been. His plot structure and names relied quite heavily and obviously on both Star Wars and the Anglo-Saxon epic poem Beowulf, among others. Eldest fared far better in the scope of the technical writing aspects.

Murtagh was really hot in the movie...

 

Finally! I have found a kindred spirit! *hugs* Umm.. *cough* Don't mind me.. :D

I'm glad that someone else noticed. Isn't it obvious he uses a thesaurus way too much? (Thews. One word I could have gone through life not knowing. -_-)

 

:D Don't worry about it; I get hugged all the time, and give hugs almost constantly... *hugs back* YAY HUGS!

My favorite character would definately have to be Murtagh... what can I say; I'm addicted to powerful, tragic characters who turn evil because they don't have a choice... to quote Star Wars, he's only evil "from a certain point of view."
