What readers think of Eragon, plus links to write your own review.

I love this book. yes it have some in common with The Lord of the rings, but name me one fantasy-book who hasn't. The only thing I would corect is that the blue dragon is mine. shame on you Eragon... and the fact: Christopher Paolini was 15 years at the time he made it up, I'm 16 now... I want to make such stories too!!! I'm totally happy the world is gone in fantasy-mode now, 'caurse then people think I'm only half as weird... (not becaurse I think Eragon is a great book...). the only thing bad about it (the word gone in fantasy-mode... in case a had lost you...) is that some authors get their works out on the market only because it's fantasy... but Christopher Paolini isn't one of them... Eragon is a great book!

I thought it was a good book, and is even greater to be written by a 15 year old. I never noticed the realationships between Eragon and Lord of the Rings and honeslty i dont care. It was a great fantasy story and I am sure Paoloni came up with most of the story.
P.S Maybe readers shold wait to read the other books to see if he really copied Lord of the Rings.
Great Book! :)

I would say that Eragon has some potential if put in the hands of a more mature writer, but some of dialouge is immature and the ancient language which Eragon is learning is downright idiotic. His characters are not complex or deep and the developing romance between Arya and Eragon is out place with the close mental link sharing of pain ect. of Saphira and Eragon. Not to mention he makes Eragon 15 in the begining of the book and 16 at the end, and Paolini is not clear on Arya's age, but one gets the impression that she's in her 20's or early 30's, hardly compatable with a teenager. Murtagh is 18 and has the temprament of someone in their late 20's or early 30's as well. He overdoes the magical powers of the elves, the battles are dissapointing. The urgals are just another name for goblins with horns, and the kull elite are just another name for hybrids like the Uruk-Hai from the lord of the rings. Eragon is really just another lukewarm fantasy book that no one will remember in 10 yrs, unlike the lord of the rings which has been remembered with fervour since 1954.

This book is the BEST!!!!! I love it how Eragon has a dragon, This is an excellent book by Christopher Paolini and was very useful in my English Book Review. Paolini has created a world in which you will find yourself wanting more! Thankfully Eldest will be out soon, as well as the Eragon movie. How thrilling!

I think that all of you who think this book is rated lower then a four are being too hard on the kid. His ideas may not be totally genuine, but this can be said about any fantasy book. I've read the book twice and i am eager to read the next one. Please Paolini hurry i'm growing impatient for the next book, i may have to read Eragon for the third time, which wouldn't be bad, but i'd like something new. I'm 15 and would suggest this book to anyone who likes fantasy and a fun filled plot.

Paoloni is a great writer and he defidently DID NOT copy from The Lord Of The Rings. His style is completely his own. He wrote an awsome book that I would recomend to all fantasy lovers, and even to those who hate fantasy.

This book is a brillant book and is a new and easier to understand version of Lord of the Ring. The next book has promise to reveal things that we think will happen and more. Good on you Christopher Paolini and you are only 15. Good on you mate can not wait for the next on.

I think it was a good book. There were some similarits, but that is to be expectedd in the expanding world of fantasy. It moves fast and keeps you interested. I dont think it was really written for people over 20, that might need a slower, descriptive book. I personaly recomend Lamb, or any of Terry Prachet's books for the older folks;).
