I strongly resent the 2 ratings of 1 on the first page. For one the comment that Nasuada and Roran do not matter to the story is completely crazy. The story shouldn't just be about Eragon and Saphira, that would get incredibly boring. The views of other characters is important, compelling and have to do with the storyline. If Chris had not put in either story the book would have been completely different. Having Roran suddenly float down the river on the near-to-last page would have been lame, and for readers to understand what had happened to him there would have had to be a 50 page ending of him telling the story. I cant grasp why anyone would want a 600 page book about 2 characters, although for book one, 1 character was appropriate. The saying of parts of a book are unimportant means you could say Elva was also unimportant, but she is really a key part of the book. I enjoyed this book and have read it many times. One of my favorite to date. I recommend it -Brad

by clong i liked it
I liked this book because it kept my attention unlike a lot of other books and who cares if it is like Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings it is still a good book and those of you who think other wise just don't like the fact that this guy wrote a good book... so before you start hating .. think about what you are saying .. if you are saying that his book is like LOTR or HP and then saying it sucked then you are implying that HP and LOTR sucked as well ..

by Rebecca This was one of the best books I have ever read.........
Unlike some of the people who have entered reviews about Eldest I think it was AWSOME!!!! The entire time I read it I was hoping that the 3rd and final addition of the Inheritance triliogy would come out sooner. I also think that Christopher Paolini did a most wonderful job on Eragon. Here's to hoping that the next one will be even better than the first 2!!!!!

I love this book! My all time favorite part of this book is when Eragon Meets Orick and Galder for the first time.

No better than Eragon. I hoped to get a point of view of things from Saphira, as she had been dreadfully ignored in the first book. Instead, we get stuck with Roran and Nasuada, whose sidetracking stories don't REALLY matter.Only Paolini thought they would make good angst opprotunities. Like we don't already have enough of that with Eragon's scar. Our hero does not seen to have a single flaw, apart from the scar, which doesn't count because it ended up making him cooler in the end. And for the fans who will go, "he worte it when he wuz 15, dont h8." : He actually finished Eragon at 19. And he was about 22 when Eldest was released. In any case, age shouldn't matter in a really god book. I would've been much more impressed if Paolini had published Eragon at 29 then 19, if it meant that the writing was better. Age counts for nothing, because I have read horrible book written by adults.

Honestly, I cannot begin to explain how awful this book is. I couldn't bare reading any further from about half way through. As a writer, it is often common to find yourself repeating ideas, lines, or similar motifs from previously read novels. It is a struggle to retain complete originality when writing; that is why if I am writing something, and I find myself pulling ideas from other novels, I will stop writing that peice completely, so that I may retain originality. What bothers me the most about Eragon and Eldest, is that they by no means deserve to have been published. There are many day to day writers who struggle with finding a publisher, that are much more talented writers. Eldest is in every form plagerism.
