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 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.

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.
Arise now, arise, Riders of Théoden!

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)

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.
I have a mind like a steel trap. Rusty, unsafe, and illegal in 48 states.
Forgive my idiosyncrasies, for if they did not exist, neither would I.

When you find yourself in the company of a halfling and an ill-tempered
Dragon, remember, you do not have to outrun the Dragon......you just have to outrun the halfling.
