Mr. Paolini was only 15 when he wrote the first book in this fantastic trilogy - 'Eragon.' I read it only recently, and fell in love with the beautiful and magical world he created. Featuring a heroic protagonist, a snarky dragon, repulsive villains and rather snobby elves, this is a must-read for all fantasy fans!

I've read it! And I totally agree, all fans of books must read this trilogy. I've just finished Eldest, and it is as good as Eragon. There are lots of mysterious events, plenty of descriptions and a wonderful plot.

I'm waiting for my copy of Eldest to arrive still...
Have you seen the poster for the upcoming Eragon movie yet?

Hmm, I could not finish Eragon, albeit I am a huge fan of fantasy. When a friend of mine was reading Eldest, I had her read it aloud so I could laugh at the, in my opinion, poor writing. There are so many Eragon arguments that there would be no point in me addressing the issues once again. I do think it could make a good movie. However, I am not particularly fond of the books. I may give them another try someday. If anything, they are certainly a fine source of inspiration for me.

There were some flaws - but I think we have to remember that he was only 15 when he wrote it, so it is unfair to expect professionally written work from him.

You say professionally written work. Since it is published, I believe it is considered professionally written.
I do think his writing is good for his age, though.

Yes it is, though it can be a little boring at parts. What are some of the arguments you mentioned? I haven't heard any.

Your welcome. The second link is terribly appalling. It's sad how much people love to hate.

I'm not sure if everyone is aware, but the theatrical trailer for 'Eragon' has been released. It's on www.shurtugal.com It really looks amazing. |
