Bem... estava à espera de melhor.
Para quem leu a triologia do Senhor dos Aneis, as semelhanças são inquestionáveis.
Também não se pode pedir muito de alguém que escreve um livro com 16 anos, e por isso dou-lhe o mérito merecido.
Ainda tenho que pensar se leio o resto da saga (:

Absolutely loved this book. Once I finished it I could not wait to begin the next one. Luckily, I had both the 2nd and 3rd installments ready and set to go. For those non-readers that saw the movie and deemed it mediocre, should invest the time and effort into reading the book. It is more richly detailed and the storyline is fleshed out and full of life.

Started out slow for me but the end was well worth reading. Especially excellent since Christopher Paolini was only 15 when he started out writing. Impressive. It had certain Lord of the Rings elements yet it is not a case where it's a wannabe Lord of the Rings. I'm looking forward to reading Eldest, Brisingr, and Inheritance. ...more

Not being a fan of fantasy, I found this book to be interesting. I loved the parts about Eragon and Saphira and meeting some of the other characters. I did not care for the battle scenes. If I continue this series, it will probably be on audio.
