Book: Eragon (Inheritance Trilogy, Book One)

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at PhotobucketAuthor:Christopher Paolini
Genre:Fantasy
Publisher:Knopf
Year Published:2003


For the first few paragraphs, the book comes across like a fanfiction paying tribute to more established fiction novels like Lord of the Rings. Once you get past that, then Paolini's originality starts showing through.

The book is written by a teenager, and the lack of world experience shows up here and there. This is also a strength, however, as the main character is also a teenager, and his view and emotions perfectly reflects that of a person that age.

There is a story that needs to be told, and Paolini manages to keep me interested enough to turn to the next page.
