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

Eldest is no better than Eragon. The protagonist is not likeable at all, exasperating, and dim. As for the writing, Paolini sounds ever so slightly less like a 7th grader with a thesaurus than he did in the first book. However, his descriptions are useless, bore the reader, and fail to help the reader visualize what is being described. There are many descriptions of gore as well. Sex is implied at one point, and Eragon behaves inappropriately towards Arya, the elf he has a creepy, stalker-like crush on. (Really, CP? That’s your strategy to make Eragon seem like a good person?) While every character should have flaws, Eragon is all flaws and no virtue. A bit sad considering CP based Eragon on himself…

Great book, starts out nicely, keeps you hooked the entire time. The book is never slow to read and is entirely intriguing

I love this book. I would definitely recomend this to people who like action, adventure, sci-fi, and fantasy. This book is one of the best books I've ever read. YOU GOTTA READ THIS BOOK!! ;)

This was AMAZING. By the way,the author was 15 when he wrote Eragon.

It's a great book and isn't the person who wrote it like 12? I heard rumors about that. And it's good I mean seriously 30 year old writers can't even write as well as that.

I received this book as a Christmas present, and to tell the truth the sheer size of it was what put me off reading it. But I did end up reading it, and up until this day it would be in my top-ten books I've ever read. I definitely recommend this book to everyone who's interested in fantasy books.

Four words: THIS BOOK IS AMAZING

This book was so good I could not stop reading it, I also could not stop reading Eragon before it. I can not wait for the arrival of Brisngr to see what Paolini has in store for us people.
