Eragon - Fantasy, adventure and magic come of age

Date of Review:  Nov 17, 2004
The Bottom Line: The bottom line soared above the castle on its dragon, to the fear and delight of the peasants below, while drawing the fearful wrath of the king.....
Review: Twice each year I run a book fair at the elementary school attended by my children. With each fair I notice an increase in one particular genre of book for the upper grades. Fantasy. Stand alone novels, series, light, dark, you name it. I've come to...

Eragon: Entirely Derivative, But Worth Reading Anyway

Date of Review:  Feb 9, 2006
The Bottom Line: About as good as teenage fanfic ever gets
Review: Christopher Paolini was hailed as a wunderkind for his debut fantasy novel, Eragon, which made him a #1 bestselling author at the age of just nineteen. Since I was on a young adult fiction kick anyway, I decided to give Eragon a try and see what all...

A Dragon's Tale from a Youthful Perspective

Date of Review:  Jan 17, 2006
The Bottom Line: While the writing was a little young-ish, this is definitely worth a read. I expect great things from this author.
Review: Fantasy stories have been around nearly forever, from Robert Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland to J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. Unfortunately, they developed somewhat of a stigma and had fallen out of the mainstream for the most part. Then...

Eragon: The Inheritance..... is rich in imagery and imagination.

Date of Review:  Jan 5, 2004
The Bottom Line: A great read, a fresh voice in the genre. Plots, character and language all show creativity and challenge the reader.
Review: Imagine me writing a review of a science fiction/fantasy novel. For one thing, I gave up on them because the genre seems very "serialized" and I am too impatient to read something I love, and then have to wait for the next segment. (Somehow,...

Pick up Eragon for Fun, But Stick with Aragorn for Keeps

Date of Review:  Mar 31, 2004
The Bottom Line: It's alright, and the next may be better, but it doesn't live up to the hype.
Review: This past Christmas, I first heard of wunderkind Christopher Paolini. I had seen his debut novel, Eragon, at the bookstore for some time, but I never paid too much attention to it until I heard about the young author behind it. Eragon has enjoyed...

When Harry Potter meets the Lord of the Rings!!

Date of Review:  Jul 8, 2006
The Bottom Line: Christopher Paolini's first novel is an average fantasy fiction, but promises a lot both from the youngster and for the series.
Review: Introduction
Having wrapped up J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and all the released novels of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series, the wait till the next offering seemed to be eating me. So I decided to look out for any other fantasy fiction...

Enjoyable listening. Captivating story.

Date of Review:  Mar 2, 2004
The Bottom Line: A fun read. It's not Tolkien or Potter, but enjoyable nonetheless.
Review: THIS REVIEW REVEALS MAJOR PLOT DEVELOPMENTS.

It's a familiar story:

A well meaning, good looking country farm boy finds something highly unusual while out in the wilderness. The unusual thing appears to involve a cry for help...

Magic and Mayhem Await You on Every Page

Date of Review:  Oct 26, 2003
The Bottom Line: Prepare to go on a fantastic magical journey if you will only open your mind and heart, as well as the cover of the book. Don't miss this journey!
Review: This review will introduce a myriad of characters met within the story, yet holds back from revealing any plot details. You must take the journey with Eragon to discover them for yourself.

Meet Eragon, a 15 year old boy verging on the edge...

beautiful imagery but...where is the story?

Date of Review:  Aug 8, 2005
The Bottom Line: I struggled between 3 and 4 stars, it is beautifully written but I ended up docking him a star because the story really does lack depth.
Review: As many of you know before even reading Eragon, the author began his debut novel at the age of fifteen…I feel inclined also to point out that the book wasn't even published until he was nineteen. I cannot help but wonder how much of the book was...

Paolini could be the next Tolkien...

Date of Review:  Jan 26, 2004
The Bottom Line: Exciting plot twists, political struggles, and some philosophical reflections - every aspect of the story contributes to the reader's reluctance to put the book down until it's finished.
Review: I grew up reading Tolkien, Feist, and C.S. Lewis, the authors of the most tattered books on my shelf - the ones that have been read so many times that the pages are hanging on to the binding by a few strands of translucent glue. I never had much...
