    <body><![CDATA[I started reading this because I won it at the <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1162543.Breaking_Dawn_The_Twilight_Saga_Book_4_" title="Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, Book 4) by Stephenie Meyer">Breaking Dawn</a> release party and it happened to be upstairs while I was searching for something to read.  <br/>Someone told me this book (these books) wasn't very well written so I hadn't been going out of my way...

    <body><![CDATA[I first brought this home from the Library and took it right back. I have never been into books that use words that don't exist. It's hard enough when you know they exist and are simply in another language. But because my sister suggested it to me, I persisted and requested it on cd instead.<br/><br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/19286346">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[<strong>WOAH!</strong> Eragon rocked my socks off. The most thrilling book I've ever read! Each time I opened the cover I felt like I was zapped into Alagëasia. Totally realistic, on an emotional level anyway, considering this is fantasy, and completely well written from the cover to cover. Each chapter just got be...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/15463034">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really liked Eragon in middle school; the storyline was quick paced and exciting. What impressed me most however, was that I still liked the story as a high school student. Even after high school, the series is still one of my (many) favorites. Reading Eldest, I was surprised at the amount of deta...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77581886">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I probably would have liked this more if I were a teenage boy, but overall it was a good book.  The story is really good, I just got bored with all of the build up, fighting, etc.  I feel like it would have been better if you cut out part of it and got to the point, but then again I am not a teenage...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/51184994">more...</a>]]></body>
