Book Review: Eragon
I recently finished reading Christopher Paolini's Eragon: Inheritance Trilogy, Book One. It was an incredible adventure! Instead of explaining the plot and what have you, I will provide the summary found on the back cover of the book:When Eragon finds a polished blue stone in the forest, he thinks it is the lucky discovery of a poor farm boy; perhaps it will buy his family meat for the winter. But when the stone brings a dragon hatchling, Eragon realizes he has stumbled upon a legacy nearly as old as the Empire itself. Overnight his simple life is shattered, and he is thrust into a perilous new world of destiny, magic, and power. With only an ancient sword and the advice of an old storyteller for guidance, Eragon and the fledgling dragon must navigate the dangerous terrain and dark enemies of an Empire ruled by a king whose evil knows no bounds. Can Eragon take up the mantle of the legendary Dragon Riders? The fate of the Empire may rest in his hands. . . .
This book is a must read for anyone who enjoyed Lord of the Rings or who enjoys a great fantasy adventure. Laced with magic, battle, trust, and fate this book portrays a marvelous journey through danger and laughter, swords and dragons, and good and evil. Easy enough to read for the younger eyes, yet deep enough for the older.
