Christopher Paolini, Eragon: Inheritance, Book I:

Eragon is book which is better than Harry Potter by far. It is about a boy named Eragon who finds a blue stone in the Spine and how his life and also everyone around him changes after he discovers that the blue stone is carrying a dragon hatchling. This book contains some great moments and is a must read-and-buy. Awesome book by an author who was 17 years old when he wrote it.

Christopher Paolini, Eragon was very suspenseful and very descriptive. I really enjoyed it, highly recommended.

Eragon was a great and exciting adventure. Iloved the part when eragon had first got into the elven world of ellesmera. The cover of the book was AWESOME!!! Gladr looked so powerful. I first loved Harry potter more than anything! But now im excited about everything like riders,elves,and dwarves. I just cant wait to read Brisngr. It had everything a book needs. Also alot of suspense. Like the part when Oromis came out of nowhere with his magnificent dragon. I loved the whole book. Eldest was more in detail and more suffisticated. I love books that not only the bad guys die. But both good also. Like Brom and Hrothgar. Keep writing the inheritance series. You have inspired me to more creative and to think broad. When im older i want 2 be like you!

Eragon: Inheritance, Book I by Christopher Paolini may have been similar to The Lord of the Rings, but it diverges in many ways, and I liked it a lot. I can hardly wait for the third book to come out. I was so disappointed when I found out that he had been signing books in my town last year, and I had no idea about it.

I think the part where Eragon first uses his powers was a little bit gory, but that's just me and I am a wuss.

I liked it a lot. It is one of my top twenty books.

Although the story is slightly unoriginal in itself it is very good, you can connect with the characters, there is no fault with the story except its references to Lord of the Rings. I would recommend this book and its sequel Eldest.

Eragon Inheritance: Book 1 by Christopher Paolini is a very good book!

I'll give you a real quick summary of it... Eragon finds a stone in the mysterious Spine. The stone is shiny, smooth, and indestructible. Eragon asks all sorts of people if they know what it is, no one knows. One night the stone starts to make noises and move... you'll have to read the book to find out why!

Eragon is full of action, suspense, and a bit of mystery.

For a fantasy book written by a teenager, Eragon: Inheritance exhibits a good deal of depth and is exciting enough to keep a reader interested from cover to cover. It is definately worth a read if you enjoy the fantasy genre.

While it does seem that the author tends to borrow on other works of sci-fi and fantasy for certain story elements, there is an adequate amount of originality as well. And one can't be too harsh on this point anyway; there are few works within this genre today that are completely original.

The writing style is very good and reads smoothly, though to me it seemed slightly unpolished, which is to be expected from so young an author. I'll be looking forward to seeing how Paolini develops as a writer; I believe we may be able to expect even greater things out of him in a few years.
