Eragon by Christopher Paolini (2005, Paperback, Reprint)

I normally do not sit down and read books, as I am not an avid reader, but WOW. I read this book from start to finish in just a few days and I simply loved every minute of it. It is one of the best Fantasy/Adventure books I have ever read. I am now reading the sequel Eldest. Overall I'd recommend it to anybody age 13 and older. A great read, from a very talented young author.

I usually read Hard Sci-Fiction and not Fantasy Sci-Fi but I saw this in an Airport and NEEDED a book to read...It was a really intense book...I couldn't put it down...It is about a Dragon/Boy Rider and the special "mind meld" bond they form to battle the Evil King and his minions across a idyllic landscape...It is a simple story line but the imagery is unique and fun to read...There are Elves, Evil Minions of many shapes, Heroic Sad Figures, Pathetic Magicians, Ignorant Peasants, Noble Kinsmen & Seemingly Doomed Rebels...There are twists and turns with every page...I especially enjoy the Dragon...She is lovely...There is a Sequel "Elder" that I have purchased and will read...This is an EXCELLENT Fantasy Sci-Fi read and I would recommend it for all ages...

Now I can sit down and read a good book. I have been wanting this book for a long time. And when I saw the book ERAGON I just knew it was time to get it.

I decided to pick up Eragon after watching the movie. I was not a huge fan of the movie, but thought the story was good, so decided to pick the book, hoping there was more to the story. There is more to the story, and it is interesting, but not as well written as other books in it's genre. I will probably finish the series, as I hate to leave ends untied!!
This book was more of a fill-in-the-waiting-time for the final Harry Potter book. An ok read, but there may be other books to check out first.

I had this book recommended to me as I enjoy stories about fantasy with Dragons, Elves, and magic. If you like those themes, then this is the book for you regardless of your age. Its like Lord of the Rings meets Harry Potter, but in a completely unexpected way. Its about a young boy, Eragon, who comes across a shiney blue stone by chance, which turns out to be a dragon egg that hatches before him. He is now the new owner of this Dragon and is on his way to coming the next 'Rider' (good-doers). And of course there is an Evil Empire that needs taking down.

What I loved about this book was how simple it was, yet intriguing. For example, they way the describe the use of magic: all spells take a certain level of strength (similiar to that of lifting heavy items) and the more powerful the spell, the more you exert youself. Thus if you exert yourself too much, you'll over exert your capacity and die (don't attempt time travel).

I can't wait to start reading the next in the series, Eldest. And its amazing that all this was written from a home schooled 15 year old boy. Recommended for all ages.

This is an excellent book! It is the first in the Inheritance Trilogy. It is about a boy, Eragon, who finds a dragon egg. After the egg hatches he raises the dragon and names her Saphira. Soon though, his home is destroyed and his uncle is killed by the evil Ra’zac who are in search of the dragon egg. He then leaves on a journey full of adventure and danger where he learns of his new abilities as a dragon rider and what is really going on in his land of Alagaësia. I loved this book, I couldn’t put it down. I kept wanting to know what would happen next!

I purchased this book for my daughter, it was for a summer school report going into the middle school this year. She really enjoyed the book once she got into it. I did not like the quality of the book, the pages were not cut evenly and it made it hard to turn pages. I purchased it only because the school required her to have this report done before school begins this fall.

This book was great. The beginning was a bit poorly written, but that probobly comes from it was written by a 15 year old student.

Eragon finds a rock in the Spine and then finds out that it's a dragon egg. He then has to travel with Brom to various places and then ending on the other side of Algasia under the mountain of Farthen Dur. At the end of the book an army of urgals floods Farthen Dur for possesion of Tronjheim, the mile high mountain city in the center of farthen dur.

If you want to find out more about Eragon you're gonna have to read the book yourself.

book in good condition. bought it for my grandson. he will have all 3 books now. he has the dvd, but did not have the books.

its entertaining and a nice easy read after the potter series. its the first in a series of three and is an interesting story. i think they made a movie out of it but the book, as usual, is much better.

Very good service...quick delivery. I would highly recommend this seller. Keep up the good work. The product was in the condition described.

I borrowed the book from a friend and liked it, so I wanted to get it for my husband. The writing is great, the story is interesting.

I just wanted to re-read this and Eldest before I started the new book. This set of books is great for a fantasy lover!

I started off by first watching the movie "Eragon," loved every minute of it. So naturally I decided to read the book... now I regret seeing the movie :-/. This book keeps you on your toes and wanting more! I can't believe how young this author was when he first wrote this book! AMAZING! I can't wait to see what Christopher Paolini comes up with next!!!

Couldn't put it down. What an awesome book!! Right up there with Lord of the Rings and J.R.R. Tolken classics. Definately gonna see more of this author.

This was a great book, really kept me reading. Although, I would not want to go on and read the sequel. This book was good enough for me, no need to spoil it.

i really love this book alot. and the person i got it from was very helpful. and i would buy from them again.and they was very helpful.

I wanted to buy it because it is a good book that I can rea over and over and still say, "You idiot!". It has much description and makes me see and hear them. If there was a scale of 1-10 I would give it a 9.5. The song "I Can See Clearly Now is exactly like the book. some books have a drizzle but Eragon is just after the rain. It's fresh and can go to many sequals.

I bought the book for my 9 year old son. It is a good way for them to escape and learn new things. I love that it interest kids of all ages. The book is much better than the movie and the others are just as good.

ti bought this item for a friend for christmas. fast shipping. got it the day before christmas. will buy from again!!!!

A wonderful fantasy book, far better than the movie,a good plot line, plenty of action and interest within, - suitable for all ages, even adults who enjoy something with the fantasy - fairytale about it, something to sink your teeth into even, drift off into another world, dimension and feel part of the whole experience,
Descriptions within the story line are good, for a younger child maybe some of the wording is a little adult oriented, however it is a great way for them to learn a bigger vocabulary, and find out what some of these mean.
My Dad taught me to read with a dictionary alongside from the time I was small, being a trait and habit I still use.
