by k-man4 Great Book!
In Eldest Paolini does a superb job. The begining is a bit slow but the ending was better that Eragon's. Not as good as Eragon and without Eragon is worthless. Paolini is a young author with much talent and i hope that he keeps writing books for a very long time. Great for any age but especially for young readers. I am dieing to read the next book!!!

Eldest along with Eragon are two of the best books in the world. I have read hundreds probably thousands of books. No i'm not kidding in my room at home I have a minumum of 300 books the last time i counted. I know a good piece of writing when i see it. Now then Christopher Paolini captivates you in this upturning emotional second installement in the inheritance trilogy. Eldest will be a classic and proposed as one of the best written fantasy books in history. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but if anyone reads this review i highly recommend it to anyone and everyone. I also recommend the only books that are better than these two which are those written by Tamora Pierce. Also fans the third inheritance trilogy book if you had not heard will be called Empire. you can also see a trailor at www.youtube.com for Eragon. bye now i'll probably be back.

I've read most of the reveiws for both this and eragon, an while I did notice a couple of similarities between this book an the LOTR books, they didn't really bother me, i dont know about eragon, but there was certainly enough detail in Eldest, specifically that battle between Roran, the Villagers, and the Ra'zac. Yes there are also many similarities to Star Wars, eg Eragon is Morzans son. Yeh.....that was predictable from book one.......but still, I enjoyed the book alot, and, for the record I HAVE read LOTR, and many of R.A. Salvatores books, and also Phillip Pullmans His Dark Materials trilogy, and I enjoyed all of those, but that doesnt stop me from enjoying the simple adventure, magic, action, and story of Eragon and Eldest.

by annoyed360 Mi excellent
This was the best book i have ever read.Paolini keeps you captivated in the second installment of the eldest trilogy.Eragon, Roran, and Saphira have matured very much from the last book.Roran is starting to become a leader and a man instead of a boy.Eragon is starting to understand the world of magic and becoming a powerful rider.While Saphira is starting to control the flame within. from Eka fricai un Shur'tugal

the book eldest was captivating, and very interesting. It contained several unique events all leading to a nicley based plot. Personally, my father thinks that blink was great. (i dont think so). but dont tell him. To conlude, the bad part was that there were chapters in which words should be omited. All in all I give it a four out of five.

Eldest is a really good book but it got kind of corny with all the "magic." Much better than Eragon, which copied Star Wars. I read Eldest in 1 day and I couldn't put it down. I can't wait for the third book.
