Eragon by Christopher Paolini (The Inheritance Cyce: Book 1)

Nelson from Florida

I find Christopher Paolini to be a boring and terrible writer. I myself am a writer and I make sure I have fresh and original ideas. He is the worst author in the history of the world and I hate his work!

Alex from Australia

I absolutely loved this book and Eldest and i can't wait for the next to come out, I am a writer and i don't see how you can hate his work, it is magnificent. If my book does end up getting published and they ask who my greatest influence was i would say Christopher Paolini.

Will from Virginia

Even without considering Paolini's blatant plagiarism, the book was written by a spectacularly poor writer. Paolini was 13 at the time, and I have some sympathy, but this is not a book for adults or for experienced readers.

Louis

He wasn\'t thirteen when he wrote it...are you kidding? So much misinformation. The version you read right now was written by a nineteen year old, with the help of his family and at least one professional editor. Horrible.

Tripti from India

I really think it was not that bad. Heck, I'm not a writer but it was kind of interesting. I think it is better than the Harry Potter series at least!

Cameron from England

This is a great book. I entirely enjoyed it from cover to cover and it left me wanting more. You go on about it being blatant plagerism then why hasn't he been sued? Even so, that's not the point, he created an enthraling novel and an expansive world that has been enjoyed by many (some people must like it seeing that there is a movie and a video game) and that is the whole point of fiction books - TO MAKE PEOPLE HAPPY!!!

Aoife from Ireland

This book disgusts me, as does its author. If I had ripped off so many classics writing this book, I wouldn't be able to live with the guilt. The only reason Paolini hasn't been sued is that most of the people he stole ideas from are too rich to care and the rest of them fear the backlash of a whole bunch of Eragon "fans".

I can't tell how you couldn't like this book. I loved it ! It was second only to The Lord of the Rings!

It is like, so cool, (soz didn't put name down) good book, should have a competition like 'create a dragon'. They should make more films of it and give Chris more credit!

Ian from London

Utterly derivative work with a poor writing style to boot. There's so much better out there that deserves mention before these books.

Likkamatti from Finland

Eragon was an OK book. But nothing more because I didn´t like Christopher's writing style and the story was so unoriginal. But it wasn`t SO bad. There was some good in it too. 6 out of 10.

Veronika from Croatia

Considering the fact that I'm no fan of Star Wars and only watched the movie adaptation of LOTR, I can't say just how much of the book is plagiarized. I can only say that I've read this book in an instant as soon as the story picked up. This was the book that got me into magical creatures and magic itself as I wasn't fond of it before. Maybe I'll find tons of better written books, but I'll never forget just how eager I was to keep reading the book at 1 AM. One thing I didn't like was the overly detailed descriptions, I pretty much got lost a few times.
