I liked Eragon after I got into it. He had trouble with the entro (just like I am with my books). Eldest was wonderful and I'm waiting on the third.

I read the first one. It was pretty good. It wasn't wow but I really liked it. I'm going to read Eldest as soon as I can.

I loved the both! It's kinda funny because it's like the basic fantasy story. BUT I LOVE IT!
I think his writing style is wounderful four such a young age.

The sword fighting was so unrealistic it made me cry. A few short training sessions ALMOST (note the almost) every night, for a couple months, and he's some sort of legendary swordsmaster all of a sudden? I almost killed myself laughing when I figured out the logic (or lack of thereof) behind that. Seriously? And it was the same guy he was fighting. The same technique, and an old man to boot. Just because Eragon beat down a stragley old man, he's all of a sudden quote: "rare and talented". puke.
And, plus, there were so many TINY things he tried to rip off exactly from LotR. For example, the different-colored smoke rings.
THEN in the sequel, of course, our young farmerboy hero has to have some overwhelming, seemingly impossible obstical to overcome to make him that much more awesome, and suddenly he isn;t mr.hoshit like wtf kung fu swordsman. There are a LOT of "people" who can beat him.
And jeeze, the author pulled a starwars. Serious. Kung fu bad guy is his father. hoooojeeze. The only way he could have made THAT worse was to have Morzan come back from the dead and announce it himself. Like seriously? if that happened, how can you steer it away from a "I am your father" line? -.-;;
What else have I not griped about... the races were so very steryotypical, with not enough imperfections. Eragon always knew what to say, and when to say it. No pauses, screw-ups, or stumbling. Uhm... the described fighting is pretty inacurate, and the physical condition (that stupid scar) was completely unrealistic (in the way the fits happened, I could tell they just happened when it wouldn't affect the story much. My bet is that an editor told him to get a couple plot setbacks) and unnecessary. I mean, if you took the damn thing out, it'd take away the disgrace with the elves, which was really all the author wanted. Oh, yes, now the elves have to honor him above all else too because he overcame the obsitcal. NO. Jayze.
But yeah, they were good books.

Present your arguments logically and reasonably, and refer to the book and not the person who made the statements?

:nodnod:. as long as you're civil and reasonable about it, I'd like to hear how you disagree with me. I'm always up for an opinion change :shrug:. I hold nothing against you.
