ok i liked this book alot. shur there were plot and writing stile from lotr and other books but with all the books that have been published it is hard to not find simularities with books. i dont think people should be overly critical on somebodies ability to write a book of that size. I have tried writing a book and have found out how hard it is to not be influanced by other books that I have read. therefor i think that anybody that can write a book without influnces from other books should recieve an award.

The plot, with it's many holes, wasn't all that bad. The description I actually liked, in some places. I have to admire the worldbuilding that was done.

But, the writing itself made me wanted to scream in places, and the dialogue was bad. When all is said and done, this book only barely gets a 2.

This book totally rocks! I can't wait for the next ones to come out!
come on! (01/17/05)

Most Juvinile writing I have ever seen in a large book. Lord of the Rings was obviously copied. Anyone could have writen Eragon, there isnt anything really special about it. Not better than hp or lotr by a long shot.

A book worth reading over and over and over again! It's kind of a mixture of "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" .... but maybe better!

This book is even better than harry potter. If I had more thumbs I'd put them way up
