Julie Rainey These are the days I wish I had BBC. I love Merlin (which is on the sci-fi channel here) and I would most likely love Camelot. I was so happy when Arthur finally married Guinevere! Yea!

Julie Rainey All because Merlin had to save the egg.

L My 2 favourite quotes from the Eragon movie...

(1) "Our beautiful lands have been ravaged by a ruthless king, and our people live under the shadow of tyranny. [...] But it wasn't always like this, was it? There was a time when the world lived in peace, protected by warriors astride mighty dragons. They are nothing but stories now - all we have is hope that a dragon will be born again, and one will rise to lead us to freedom."

and
(2) "There was a time when our land flourished without fear and cruelty. A time of dragons and dragon riders. Dragons gave their riders magical powers. No one could defeat them! Until one of their own, a Rider named Galbatorix opposed them, and cut down any Rider who opposed him-"

That was such a fantastic moment within the film! loved it & Eragon's face was one of sheer excitement and facination. Xx

Becky (Blogs of a Bookaholic) (bookboundbecky) Soooo predddy, I want a Saphira! I love the Inheritance Cycle books (still got the last to read) but I have to admit I really didn't like the movie. I would have to say it was the worst book to film adaption I have seen to date. Such a shame because I was really looking forward to it!

But, the CGI dragons, were awesome xD

L It is a shame that the film did not do the book justice, but i still would love to see the rest of the series on DVD. Have you ever read any books by an author called Stephen Deas? He writes about Dragons in such a unique way that is utterly brilliant. x The Adamantine Palace (The Memory of Flames, #1) by Stephen Deas

Ooooh no I haven't, thanks for the recommendation!
Becky must investigate! (when I get excited I talk about myself in the third person, it's quite weird)
