Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
There's always room for another fantasy quest trilogy--as long as it has distinction, originality and a cracking plot. Eragon has. This is the first book in Christopher Paolini's Inheritance Trilogy, which he began writing when aged only 15, is an amazing debut that demonstrates a written maturity beyond its creator's years. Any rough edges borne through inexperience are quickly forgiven as his story takes the reader on an imaginative journey by way of a host of likable and interesting characters and several breathtaking and dramatic sequences of high fantasy.
Eragon's adventure begins when he is out hunting one day in the mountainous region of his world known as the Spine. While eyeing-up a tasty deer with his bow, his aim is disturbed by a polished blue stone that explodes from the sky and narrowly misses him. The oval shaped object, cool and frictionless to his touch, weighs several pounds and it turns out to be his only reward from his day's hunting session. Returning to his home town Carvahall, Eragon's unsuccessful attempts to exchange the stone for meat for his family begins a run of bad luck that will eventually force him to flee his place of birth. This heralds the beginning of a new destiny for him.
The stone is in fact a dragon's egg and it hatches in Eragon's company--making him the first new Dragon Rider for many years. Suddenly, the fate of the Empire rests in his hands and he must navigate a dark and dangerous terrain, and some formidable enemies, to challenge the might of a king whose evil is limitless.
Despite its classic quest format there are enough new ideas and twists and turns to make it stand out among its legion of competitors in the genre. Eragon begins a bigger story that continues with the follow-up Eldest. Suitable for readers aged 12 and over. --John McLay

5.0 out of 5 stars
A brilliant read,
By Y. S. Emery (Rugby, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eragon: Book One (The Inheritance cycle) (Paperback)
I absolutely loved this book. I found myself carried away by the story right from the start. Christopher Paolini made me feel as though I were travelling along side Eragon. I shared his joys, sadness and fears, etc.
I hated putting this book down each evening and couldn't wait to pick it back up again. I would recommend this book to other fantasy readers, I thought it was brilliant and can't wait to read the next one. There seems to be a lot of negative opinions on the age that this author was when he first began this story, I on the other hand think it was a great achievement for him to have written this so young. Well done Christopher!

Do not compare the book to the Film!!!,
This review is from: Eragon: Book One (The Inheritance cycle) (Paperback)
i read this book after watching this film.
I always wanted to read it but i couldnt bring my self to after the film. I didnt like the film one bit, the book was ment to be amazing but the film was such a let down. I was encouraged to read the book, so i did!!! AND IM GLAD I DID!! This has to be one of the best series ive ever read, i love the series by Stephanie Meyer, and The Wit'ch Fire series by James Clemens!! I would recomend these series......An amazing read, i couldnt put the book down, im not awaiting the next book!!! Can not wait!!! THIS IS A MUST READ!!!

great book, holds you from the first page to the last. I did see the film first, which I thought was great, but the book is far better than the film, can't wait to read the sequel.
