I was a bit skeptical when it was suggested that I read Eragon, but being an avid bookworm I decided to give it a try. I found that although some would compare it to LOTR, Star Wars, etc., it was a fascinating story that kept me locked to the pages waiting to see what would …more happen next. I liked the idea that sometimes Eragon got caught, showing he was human after all. Keep in mind that I saw the movie prior to reading the book & thoroughly enjoyed it, that was the final factor to get me wanting to read the book. Although there are obvious differences between the movie and the book, I enjoyed them BOTH. I haven't had such a good read since the Harry Potter series. I can hardly wait to see what the sequel has in store! (less)
