Has anyone ever read that book? It's by Christopher Paolini. If you haven't read it, then you should. It's an awesome book, and theres two more books to it. It's a trilogy set. The second one's called Eldest.Posted ImagePosted ImagePosted Image

It looks kiddy, unlike the page stretch, which incoincidentally just looks stupid. :/

I've seen in it book stores but thought it looked dumb. I'm not really into Dragons and crap like that.

It's not all about a dragon. Mostly, but not all the way.
The character of the book, Eragon, is a young farm boy, who finds a mysterious blue stone, in a field, while out hunting. He attempts to trade it for food for his family, without success. He had no idea the mysterious stone would hatch into a sapphire-blue dragon.

Eragon decides to secretly care for and raise the dragon. After his father is killed by evil forces known as the Ra'zac, he learns that he is the last of the Dragon Riders and the dragon egg was meant to find him.

In a race to hunt down those who killed his father he realizes his destiny is much larger then he knows, an entire Empire may be relying on him.

Eragon and his dragon Saphira must set out to find their roles in this Empire. They encounter many humans, dwarves, elves and nasty Urgals along their dangerous travels. It is a whole new world Eragon must face filled with ancient languages, magical powers, perilous situations and sudden battles.

Like many books of this genre, there are many names, places and ancient languages which may prove difficult to decipher at first. Maps and glossaries are provided to help sort things out. Despite this, the book is easy for young readers to grasp and pages will be flying fast.

Just when you think you get to the end of the book you find out the story doesn't end here. The second book in the Inheritance trilogy, Eldest, will be published next year.

I really liked the book. Mostly because I like whatever I read. I read Lord of the Rings in 3rd grade. :ermm:

Yea, I have always been a reading maniac.
