Eragon is the best book ever! It has soooo much adventure and suspense. It's about a boy named Eragon, and he finds a blue stone, but it's really a dragon's egg! When the egg/stone hatches, Saphira is born. Now, they try to fight the most evil guy in Alagaesia!!!!!

This is one of the best books I've gotten my hands on! This time, in truth, I never got bored! every page was exiting! I never got tired of the words printed out in front of my eyes! I was mesmorized for about 2 entire days, that is until my mum made me go outside and leave my book when I only had about 2 pages left. oh yes, I argued, but she wouldn't listen! well, ur not here to listen to me ranting on about my life so let me proceed: this book was awsome! I really did like it....well, thats all u get!

I very much enjoyed the way this story was woven out. It began in bright, exciting colors, and I have yet to stop goggling. I cannot wait until the next book comes, out. I am very eager to continue the masterpiece.

Didn't JRR Tolkien write this book?

Eragon is the first part of a well written story about an unlikely hero who finds a dragon. The language is almost intoxicating enough to disguise the fact that this story is very similar to those written by Tolkien and Funke. I felt the story was too close to The Lord Of the Rings and Dragon Rider. Maybe that wouldn't have distracted me if the main character's name wasn't pronounced the same way as the Aragon from LOTR. The Urgals in Eragon are also very similar to Uruk-hai and Orcs(LOTR).
Don't misunderstand. Paolini is a great writer and his sentences jump off the page. I just wish that the contents of the book would have been a little more unique. I do recomend this book to those who love to be lost in stories. However, if you happen to be a Tolkien or Funke fan or read alot of similar fiction you might get a little frustrated. I will be reading the sequels to this book, but I hope that the content is more original.

Eragon is a wonderful fantasy read.
Follow Eragon and his young dragon Saphira, as they fight an evil king's army, save a beautiful elf, and kill a shade. Christopher Paolini has really written a great book. The second book isn't out yet, but this one should keep you occupied for at least a few hours.

Incase you don't know my other name is Spartan 0
This is a great book I read it in 2004. It's part of a series. It's about a boy named Eragon I think who gets a "gem". Later he finds out it's a dragon's egg. When shes older Eragon tries to ride her but unfortunately for him her back shreds the skin off his legs. lol. He makes friends with this old rider who is a person who owns a dragon. I think his name was Brom. Anyway they find an unconcious creature and take her to her home. Eragon later must duel a spirit of some kind.
The funniest part is when Eragon uses magic on his arrow and shoots it at an enemy explodes it and snuffs it cause he is drained of magic. Brom finds him later I think.
