These books are truly amazing!

They bear a resemblance to The Lord of the Rings, yet without the excessive darkness and the use of strange languages.

I haven't picked them up for some time, but now, since we've had the third book for six months, I'm finally going to delve into it.

I'm hoping that Steve can assist me in recalling what took place in the first two books. This way, I can fully enjoy Brinsingr.

I'm really looking forward to getting back into this wonderful world of dragons and magic.

The anticipation is building up inside me as I think about all the adventures and mysteries that await in the pages of this book.

I'm sure it's going to be an unforgettable reading experience.

I have a deep affection for these books. They are truly among the finest, and perhaps even the very best, that I have ever had the pleasure of reading.

While I do think that Paolini was a bit of a dink for stretching it into a series instead of keeping it as a trilogy, that capitalist little kid.

However, if we take HIM out of the equation, these books are simply amazing. They possess all the qualities that should earn them a place in the annals of literature as epic novels.

They deserve to be preserved and reread time and time again, for the rich worlds they create, the engaging characters they introduce, and the captivating stories they tell.

These books have the power to transport readers to another realm, to make them feel emotions they never thought possible, and to leave a lasting impression on their hearts and minds.

This book is a remarkable two-in-one volume that spans an impressive 1186 pages.

The first part of the story commences when a destitute farm boy stumbles upon a mysterious blue stone while in the forest. Driven by the need to provide food for the approaching winter, he decides to bring the stone home with the intention of selling it. However, little does he know that this seemingly ordinary stone holds a power far greater than he could have ever imagined.

To his astonishment, the stone summons a magnificent dragon, and in that moment, the boy realizes that he has discovered a legacy as ancient as the empire itself. He takes this newfound power as his own and embarks on a heroic journey to fight against an evil king with no bounds.

With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, the farm boy musters all his courage and determination to face the challenges that lie ahead. Will he be able to overcome the evil king and save the world? Only time will tell in this thrilling adventure.

Eragon: It is a really good book.

I have a great affection for both the plot and the characters.

Although it is a little on the long side, it's not overly bad.

It manages to hold your attention and take you on an exciting adventure.

The story is engaging and the world-building is quite impressive.

Eldest: Well, I do like the plot of this book.

However, it seems to go on and on without end.

It takes an extremely long time to read.

I'm the type of person who can devour a 300-page book in just one night.

But I started this book in January and I still haven't completed it.

If you're the kind of reader who enjoys a long and detailed story, then you might want to give it a try.

But if you're looking for a quick and easy read, I would not recommend it.

It requires a significant amount of time and patience to get through.

I had a collection of things that I absolutely adored. Each one held a special place in my heart.

There was a beautiful book with intricate illustrations that took me to different worlds every time I opened it.

I also had a small, hand-carved wooden figurine that had a unique charm.

And then there was my favorite piece of jewelry, a delicate necklace that always made me feel special when I wore it.

These were just a few of the things that I loved, but there were many more.

I cherished each and every one of them, and they brought me joy and happiness on a daily basis.

I loved them all.

I purchased this book at a second-hand book stall in Legian, Bali.

I selected this particular book simply because there weren't an abundance of choices available.

I wasn't entirely certain that I could finish this book so quickly considering how thick it is!

However, to my amazement, I devoured this book just like eating potato chips! Every time I began reading it, I couldn't stop until my husband made it clear that he was annoyed with my neglect of him. Hahaha, because I left him all alone.

Anyway, it is a magnificent story of a different world. I give my two thumbs up to the writer for having such a great imagination and yet being so detailed at such a young age! Bravo!

PS: I haven't watched the movie. Should I watch it or not? Will I be disappointed if I see the movie?

This series is truly captivating and has the remarkable ability to hold your attention firmly.

However, it should be noted that the last few books in this series are really long. As a result, reading them will demand a long attention span from the reader.

It is a stereotypical "nerdy" book that delves into the enchanting world of elves, fearsome dragons, sturdy dwarfs, and the mysterious werecats.

The story is centered around a small-town boy who, while out hunting in the forest one day, stumbles upon a dragon's egg.

I won't reveal any more details. Suffice it to say that I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone who has a penchant for fantasy stories.

It offers a rich and immersive experience that will transport you to a world filled with magic, adventure, and wonder.

So, if you're looking for a thrilling read that will keep you on the edge of your seat, give this series a try.

I firmly believe that I have watched the movie, and I was truly very confused. The reason for this confusion was that the movie and the book seemed entirely different.

Other than that, however, I thought it was an extremely good series. Once I got started, I raced through it with great enthusiasm.

When compared to the "Game of Thrones" that I had just finished, it seemed a bit short. Nevertheless, it was quite good.

The imagination of this guy, Paolini, is truly incredible. He has created all these unique characters and, of course, an entire language. What's even more astonishing is that he started this creative journey when he was just 15 years old, still in high school!

Paolini is also a master at using various literary devices such as similes, personification, and imagery. These devices add depth and vividness to his writing.

I am currently reading the third book whenever I have free time, and I'm certain that I will finish the fourth one shortly after. I can't wait to explore more of the wonderful world that Paolini has created.

Eragon is an enthralling fiction story that revolves around a farm boy who suddenly finds himself thrust into an adventure filled with tragedy, action, and magic. The author of this captivating tale is Paolini, who was only 17 when he published Eragon. Despite his young age, he did an outstanding job with this book.


\\tOne of the remarkable aspects of Eragon is the great characters it presents. There is Bram, Eragon's mentor, who provides guidance and wisdom. Then there is Eragon's dragon, Saphira, who adds a touch of mystery and power to the story. And of course, there is Eragon himself, a character whose growth and development throughout the adventure are truly engaging.


\\tThe author managed to keep the story interesting from start to finish, ensuring that readers like me didn't get distracted or lose interest. I usually don't like reading long books as I tend to get bored easily, but Eragon held my attention throughout the entire thing. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would highly suggest it to any of my friends who are looking for an exciting and magical adventure.


\\tIn conclusion, Eragon is a must-read for anyone who loves fiction, adventure, and well-developed characters. Paolini's talent as a writer is evident in this book, and I can't wait to see what he has in store for us in the future.

WOAH! Eragon truly blew me away. It is hands down the most thrilling book I have ever had the pleasure of reading! Every single time I opened its cover, it was as if I was instantly zapped into the magical world of Alagëasia. Despite being a work of fantasy, it felt incredibly realistic on an emotional level. The writing was superb from start to finish. Each chapter seemed to build upon the previous one, getting better and better. I can still vividly remember the story and replay it in my mind like a movie. (And who cares if I'm a bit of a geek for that?)
I made significant progress in Eldest but unfortunately never actually completed it. Some people might not think that sequels are anywhere near as good as the original, but from what I can recall by meshing together my memories of Eldest and Eragon, Eldest was just as amazing as its predecessor. The characters of Saphira, Eragon, and Arya are completely lovable and even relatable. I truly wish this book was an ongoing series rather than just an amazing trilogy.
Yeah... this is definitely a book that I would read over and over again. You get the idea!

After all the excessive promotion and excitement that had been built up, I found myself extremely disappointed.

The anticipation had been so high, but it failed to meet my expectations.

I was left with a sense of dissatisfaction and a lack of enthusiasm for what was to come.

In fact, I was so unimpressed that I'm not even going to bother reading book three.

It seems like a waste of time and effort when the previous installments didn't deliver the engaging and captivating experience that I had hoped for.

Perhaps others may have a different opinion, but for me, this series has fallen short.

I'll be looking for other books that can truly capture my interest and keep me hooked from start to finish.

At times, these books seem to be an excessive rip-off of The Lord of the Rings. There are certain elements and storylines that bear a striking resemblance.

However, despite this, the series as a whole is still very much worth reading. Take "Eldest" for example. While it may have had some slow moments here and there, the last part of the book is truly fantastic.

It builds up the tension and excitement in such a way that it really leaves the reader pining for the last book in the series. The anticipation is palpable, and one can't help but be eager to see how the story concludes.

Overall, although there may be some flaws in terms of the similarities to "The Lord of the Rings", the series has its own charm and吸引力 that keeps readers engaged and coming back for more.
