THIS IS A TRULY MAGICAL BOOK! During parts in the book I found myself holding my breath or grinning so much my jaw hurt, in parts it makes you want to laugh or even cry. I loved this book! Christopher Paolini is a phenomenal author! I don't want to wait till September to …more get the third book though! I'm so excited I just finished the book a few minutes ago! Eldest will leave you eager to read the third in the Inheritance Trilogy, which isn't out yet...grrr....We don't even know the name of it! Supposedly it's going to be Empire (six letters and starts with E) and there is supposed to be a turquoise green dragon on the front. I couldn't think of a better book for young adults such as myself or for anybody else who can read! This book left me gasping for breath...literally! I couldn't think of a better book to read....besides Eragon. I think until the third one comes out I am going to busy myself with reading them all over again. (less)
