Three words; fun, fun & fun.
I'm not really sure what to say about this book, except that it's AWESOME! I wish I could get an insiders look like this with some of my other favorite novels. This is a must have for fans of this series. The book itself is beautiful! The pages are wonderfully detailed, there is so much that I never even thought about, such a thorough exploration of the world. I am truly impressed.

I know some people complained that the info given in the book is already known if you have read the series. Some complained about the illustrations. Some complained about the quality of the materials used. BUT I loved the book! It was smart, and very personal. I really felt like i was Rider. An enjoyable read!
I think this book is unnecessary if you have read books 1,2,and 3. If you haven't read them and have an interest in reading Eragon, Eldest and Brisingr it will take the joy of suspense and discovery out of the story.
Insightful to the world of Alagaesia, as it was meant to be - some guide books go off track, but this truly gives you an idea of the world of Alagaesia.

I pre ordered this book as soon as I heard it was coming out since I couldn't wait for more from Paolini while waiting for the last part of the Inheritance cycle. When I got it, I thought it was fantastic. There are beautiful drawings included and you can finally see the world of Alagaesia.

Looks completely amazing! It's kinda funny actually, didn't think this was an actual book but here it is. Maybe I'll buy it on eBay or something....
A good book I loved the flaps and sample a good book for those who liked the series and it told me some things I did not know I liked it.
A pretty clear insight to the world of Eragon. Very intresting. If you like the Dragonology series, you'll probably enjoy this.
The art work in this book were amazing. It had maps and detailed descriptions of the characters of The Inheritance Cycle.
Bought this at a used bookstore for $6. It's in fairly good condition, but Eragon's letter that's supposed to be behind the front cover is missing. Oh well. It's still a good bargain.
All in all, it's just a pretty book to look at. The illustrations are neat. The text, however, is lacking. If you have already read the the books in the Inheritance series, there's no new information here for you. I found myself just skimming the text and admiring the pictures.

This is a companion book to the Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini. It is a beautiful book and what you'd call a "coffee-table book". It is an extremely fast read, but it is enjoyable if you have read the books. It has little flaps and envelopes and pieces you can touch throughout it.
I wouldn't personally fork out the money for this book, but it was a fun work of art to look at for free.

Very artistic and very lively!!!!!!!!!!!1 It really gives you a great idea about the characters adn the dragons!
A really nice book. I love the flaps and things inside as it really makes it fun. It's not an essential read, but I suggest that all fans of the series get it as it's good. You may know some of the information already, but it's still excellent. It's a quick read, but it's awesome. Very nice book and it's sure to please all fans of the series!

this is very interesting and detailed the only thing i dislike about it is the way the urgralgra are depicted
We all loved pop up books when we were kids, right? Well, I still love them and this book is perfect. There are all types of nooks and crannys in this book. There are different fabrics and furs that you can touch, scales and glitter you can see, and the information is mostly correct. If you read the Inheritance Cycle, then you MUST read this.
very cool. read this AFTER you have read the entire series, HUGE givaways hidden here.
A really great book shows us how everything is great and worth to die for
Great illustrations, leaves some to be desired in reading.
it was really cool
A very cool book with awesome illustrations! If you love the Inheritance Cycle, then you will love this fascinating book!! Defiantly a good book!!
IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!
OMG, it tells u everything, it shows u pictures of the monsters u thought would look diffrent, and explains things u thought waz confuzlin, its rly good for kids who love eragon!!!
i really liked this picture book companion to the inheritance cycle. it does contain some spoilers, so i wouldnt read it until you finished brisingr. i really liked the pictures of urgles, ellesmera, tronheim and the beor mountains. i wish there was a picture of teirm, because it had gilead and dras leona. the letters written from eragon were kind of silly IMO. but i still liked it.
Awesome companion book of what is in Alagaesia and the Inheritance book series.
Fans of Eragon will love!! Shows very detailed images of the world Paolini has created, and even back stories of all the races, and animals, and clothing, so much!! Not necessary to read, but if you want to know a bit more about Alagaesia, this is the book for you!
I love this series and this book was awesome, a great way to visually see the world the author has created. Super cute and fun!
As a major fan of Eragon, this book is a cool illustrated guide to Paolini's world. It's like a lift the flap book for grown-ups. There are plenty of hidden items and tine treasures to keep any kid of any age, busy.
I got this book from a library and it was sort of beat up. It was interesting in terms of graphics. It probably would have been a lot better if it wasn't missing some of the special features.
Not that Great. Kinda cheesy, if you read Eragon, Eldest, and Brisinger you would know all of this already. Best part of it is the colored map lol.
This book was a great chance to see the world of Alagaesia through the eyes of the author.
