by Padfoot Good book:Not Perfect
WHAT IS ALL YOU PEOPLES PROBLEMS???? Oh my gosh! Paolini didn't copy from stupid Star Warz or LOTR. How could you say that? None of the plot lines are the same....AT ALL! Plus this is supposed to be a review meaning metioning SOMETHING about the book. I mean you couldn't have just disliked it because you thought it was a little like LOTR. So you can't say anything about it. Could you write that good when you were 15? I think NOT! So what if you think the plot is similar to Star Wars(I mean hey I am as big a star wars fan as the next scifi crazed kid)you have to look at how the book was written. Even if you are not older than 15 I bet when you do get older you couldn't even write a draft to one of his books! So get over yourselves! Anyway......I thought this was an exellently written book. I don't think it will become more popular than Harry Potter but I do think it will definetly go up in the lists. It was very vivid in descriptions. At some points you were about to well up in a rage of tears at others you were jumping up and down very excited, at others you were ahhhing at the amazing love scenes, sometimes you got mad at Paolini for killing certain people.............but all in all it was amazing. Read it in 3 hours( I am a book fanatic)read Eldest in 4(busy with soccer that day). All I can say is very impressed. Paolini NEEDS to finish the series.(If you are wondering why I gave him a 4 yet I am ranting on and on about what a good job he did it is because people are too curtious with their high scores and I do agree with the ones that said it wasn't entirly perfect) :3

yeah, you think that this book is easier to read than LOTR? Whatever! I found words that I didn;t know in it. Not LOTR! And about the Star Wars things, whatever. Think what u want. I loved and can't wait for the third to come out. I can't believe you guys r tryin to diss when he wrote the first when he was 15. It's amazing and I'm one of the ones who appreciates it and isn't jealous.

by astaire Not Great, But Okay
Eragon was okay, IMO. It wasn't great, or particularly original, but it was okay. I'm baffled that so many people think it was stolen from LoTR, but hardly anyone has mentioned Star Wars plagarism! The whole time I was reading Eragon, I was drawing plot/character similarities to Star Wars. Eragon is Luke Skywalker, the cocky, talented, young orphan. Brom is Obi-wan, the wise sage who teaches the main character and presents him with his first sword. Saphira's egg is equivalent to R2D2 since they both hold the means for destroying the evil emperor. Galbatorix is Emperor Palpatine. Eragon's Uncle is Uncle Owen. I could go on and on. There are other very spoiler ridden character parallels that I could draw, so I better end at that. No, I don't think this book is particularly well-written, it's actually pretty long-winded with unnecessary scenes and dialog. Still, it entertained me a little. The plot was very predictable, but I'm rating this a 3 because Eragon kept me somewhat entertained. It wasn't a masterpiece, but it was okay.

Christopher Paolini should be sued for plagiarism. The only reason this guy got published is because his parents have "beneficial connections."
