I first heard of the author on a newscast. I then saw the movie and thought the book might be a good read also. I found the plot very engaging, and style of writing very intellectual & thoughtful. I've enjoyed being a part of the character Eragon's growth as an individual and as a major player in his world. Overall, I've found the series to be an excellent read! ( )

I like all three books – Eragon, Eldest and Brisingr – as they are very exciting, have a great storyline and are extremely well-written. ( )

This is a great series, but it is not as good as the Lord of the Rings or the Hobbit, and I am still reading book three. ( )

Love this series. Plus i think Paolini would be a fun author to meet. He wrote the first book when he was only 15. And, well he's kinda cute....
