Ah...what to say about this book? I can't feel that great about it. In essence, as I have not been a big fantasy reader until recent years, the narrative was done well enough. Paolini has a decent writing style, and I did not find reading this book painful.
However, I do have to say that I agree with many of the statements that he lacks a lot of the originality. I mean, it's pretty obvious that Eragon is hardly more than a Luke Skywalker and that Darth Sauron - I mean Galbatorix is a rip of other things...
I don't know. I think it's commendable that a fifteen year old wrote this piece, buuut his immaturity really does show. When you hear people talking about this book, you don't hear how bright, fresh and amazing it is. You hear "oh he was fifteen!" Well that's great and groovy, but I think it's a pity that his claim to fame is his age and not the content of his story.
I feel this story should have been shelfed and allowed to be editted and rewritten. Paol...more
