Eragon

[wesley_wyndam_pryce]

Has anyone else on the site read Eragon?

[MBCorp]

No, but the other day a woman I have class with very enthusiastically recommended it to me because she knows I'm an HP fan. I actually have a copy somewhere in my room, I'm going to have to read it.

[wesley_wyndam_pryce]

You should. I found it very interesting.

[Summers]

I'm guessing its not from LOTR then.

[wesley_wyndam_pryce]

No. Its by a guy named Paolini

[shadowcat20x]

I read Eragon!! I loved it! And then I was impressed to find out he wrote it when he was 15!! Amazing!

It's the story about a boy who finds the supposedly only dragon left in the world. It takes place in a fantasy world.

I thought it was kind of funny that the two main love interest's names were similar to Aragorn and Arwen, and that the girl was an elf. Ha.

I need to read the sequel, The Eldest!

Same here for me. Some guy in my calculas class recommended it to me at the beginning of the year and gave it to me to read...it is still sitting on my shelf collecting dust :lol: he won't let me give it back to him until I read it :rolleyes: So I basically end up reading everything but...

But what? But nothing! Go read it now! :D

It's a decent book, but the main reason the book can be considered decent is because it was written by a 15 year old... Anything by a child prodigy manages to get a bunch of "ooohs" and "aaahs" from adults. Plus, a number of aspects of the book is based off of LOTR.

[littlegreenelf]

It is still excellent. There are so many books out there that some aspects will have to be from some other book.

[shadowcat20x]

Have you heard of Robert Jordan? He's a best time seller with 11+ books in a series that's incredibly like Lotr. Like littlegreenelf said, there are tons of books that have qualities from lotr, but they still are great books.

Eragon is a great young adults book, not because it was written by a 15 year old, but because...simply beacuse it is. Like other great fantasy books, the characters, the plot, the descriptive detail make it great. Not the age of the author.

[slayer]

They are making a movie right? It comes out in December as far as I remember...

[shadowcat20x]

Seriously? Awesome!

[littlegreenelf]

Yeah, from the trailer the movie looks really good. I can't wait for it to come out!

[atrufan14]

yup, December the 15th as far as I know. The guy who plays Eragon is perfect for the role and so hot too :)

[AshRose62]

I absalotely LOVE Eragon and Eldest and the soon to be Empire (if Christopher keeps it as that) I also can't wait til Eragon the movie comes out. Just a few months.

[shadowcat20x]

Yay! I just finished Eldest. Very Cool. I love the fiction high I get when I finish a good book. lol, I'm such a dork :D

I saw a fan made trailer for Eragon on Youtube, and all I can say is... I'm excited!!

[Shadowlord367]

I love this series

[number8]

The first 2 of the trilogy was great. I can't wait for the third one.

[AshRose62]

I read that the third one is going to be green and have a green dragon on it. Sounds exciting!

I heard with strong indication of truth that the final book will be BLACK with a Black dragon on it to represent Galbatorix, and the name of it will simply be Inheritance.

[CLOISFAN101]

Im reading Eragon right now before the movie comes out on december 15

[Muse25]

I've just read Eragon and I'm on the waiting list for the Eldest. I liked Eragon. It was entertaining. It isn't my favorite book in the whole world but it was ok.

[CLOISFAN101]

im rite now readin Eldest very good book i cant wait til the third one comes out

dos anybody noe when it does come out?

[Sierra01]

Haven't read Eragon yet , i have Eragon and Eldest sat upstairs though.
Also the Temeraire Trilogy

I keep meaning to read them then one of my favourite authors decides to release a book and Bammm, i'm lost !

[Chlarkerlover]

I read it and the sequel and thought it was good. I'm not much of a lotrs fan, so I didn't mind the similairtites(sp?).

I hated the movie though, they changed to much, even worse then LotR and Harry Potter movies put together. The only good thing I found of it was Murtagh (charecter in the book) was hott. thats it.

[wilder]

I dont like LOTR, Eragon and Eldest was nice. And movie is good only for people who dont read the book. Too many changes.

[Chlarkerlover]

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to many.

[FUZZYWOOKIEE]

haven't seen the movie but i loved the first two books

Mhm Christopher Paolini. He started the idea for the book when he was around 15.


I like Eragon, but I think both books drag on too long with the plot. I think it's written rather well, style wise. The world is fun, imaginative...

You can check out http://shurtugal.com/ they will probably know. The cover art for the new book is there. :) Enjoy

[petewillreturn]

It has been a while since I’ve read it but I do plan on rereading Eragon and I do own the Eldest, but right now I’m all about Harry. But you did remind me to put the movie on my netflix account and the third book on my amazon wish list.

[slayer]

Does anyone know where that last book of the Inheritage trilogy is coming out?

[slayer]

the last one is split into two, wtf!?

[Sam and Dean's Girl]

i think its boring at the start but when u get into it its wicked.

[number8]

Just a heads up to some fans of this series ... apparently the latest book came out today. Saw them as I walked past a store.

[27CDruid]

Ive read it and i can say that its superior to books 1 & 2. Paolini's writing abilities have increased noticably.
