Has anybody read those two books here?

Its an on-going trilogy written by Christopher Paolini, a young author who wrote the first book at 15 years of age. The first book is titled Eragon and the second Eldest. The third isn't out yet, but I look forward to it.

So, has anybody read them/reading them?

If memory serves me, there's already at least one thread on this series, but oh well. I did read the first one and I might take a peeksy at the second. I thought it was pretty good especially since he's just a kid.

I'm not one to ask on these situations, since I'm more involved in adult fantasy, but....I HATE THIS BOOK WIH A PASSION! Paloni takes waaaaaay to long to devolop the story, I searously whasted a Good 5 hours straight of my life reading all the way through half the book, AND THEN THE ACTION STARTS!

ok, my rant.

I know the book is being touted is a literary masterpiece when so many books are better than it all this book did was copy from star wars to the Lord of the rings.

ok, Please exuse my rant, my friend litterally forced me to read some of it last night again....I was up from 12:00 to 3:00 am reading it, it's actually Pretty good!

so, Yeah excuse the brutal rant.

I like his work he's not too detailed for my tastes (and while I like LotR, I think that that is too detailed for me, but I still liked it), plus in general, I like anything with swords.

Plus its really unoriginal and the guy's parents were publishers so he got fame pretty much served on a silver plater. What's not to like? (lol)

It's pretty good, though quite a bit cliched. That, and Eragon passes out, what, eight times in the first book? XO

My friend has the second. Maybe I can get him to let me read it...

I wasted like 10 hours on that book and what did I get: CLICHES, and I get to know that some kids will probably try to say that eragon is better than LOTR. Little do they know that Mr.paolini is a plagarist.

I was slightly annoyed with all the literary theft in these books. The upside of it though is that he views everything in the world he created with a sense of wonder. That is the primary reason I enjoyed both of them.

Well... I liked it.

*dodges LOTR hardcopys being thrown*

It is not as good as LoTR.
It's nothing new, but worth the read anyway.
The cover art is very good.
