Eldest by Christopher Paolini (2005)

This book follow in the path of the Lord of the Rings and will put this boy down in history for have an great imagination. This book is a great fantasy novel and well worth the time and money to read. This book is an instant classic and will last thru the ages for its wonderful landscape and charaters. Read this one it is worth it.

Item was as described , Shipping charge reasonable , Shipping was very slow , communication alrigth .

I really long war sequence. Took long times with Eragon Traveling, so if your not in the mood for reading travel sequences then I suggest you read something else, however The ones in Eldest weren't that bad. Eldest is longer than Eragon, and I like that how most authors do that instead of cutting down. This is a good book to read if your interested in Lord of the Rings, If your also a Harry Potter fan then you might also enjoy this book. It took me a while to get interested in Eragon though after switching from Harry Potter.

I like Sci-Fi Fantasy, and I really enjoy the Eragon series. I chose this book because hardcovers are more sturdy than paperback and it was a great price. The book was in escellent condition

I'll be the first to admit: This book is not for everyone. In fact, some people hate it with every fiber of their being.

HOWEVER, if you're someone looking for a fun tale, or if you enjoy reading anything about dragons, magic or fantasy in general, you will love this book.

If you're looking for something deep and intelligent, go find Ian McEwan or something. But if you liked Harry Potter, Eragon and Eldest are for you!

I loved Eragon and this book is even better great to read over and over..
It held my attention completely throughout the book..
couldn't put it down..great for kids or adults..would recommend it to anyone..
Can't wait for the third book to be printed..

Daughter wanted book and she said she liked it alot. the book was very ggod and she really likeed it alot.

I don't usually read this type of venue, however when Eragon was given to me, I swept through is like a starving person. I am dumb founded over the fact that Christopher Paolini was 15 when he published his first "chapter" in his saga. He continues the saga with the Eldest. The fact that the books have so many pages is forgotten. The time melts away. Well written, imagination off the charts. So involved; with all of the separate lives running through the book and converginging at a point in time. And still Christopher is not old enough to vote. A good read for any age. I await the next visit to Paolini's world in September of this year.

After seeing the Eragon movie I read the first book and it was not like the movie. However, it did leave you hanging in mid air. I was so pleased that I had bought Eldest at the same time.

Although it was written towards a young age as an adult I enjoyed the book very much and caught myself reading well into the night a couple of times. The caricatures are very believable and the interaction is handled well. Having multiple stories going at the same time and at the end weaving them together was done with some skill but not with the finesse you might expect from a better seasoned writer. You cannot read Eldest without reading the first book (Eragon) first or you will never understand what and why things are happening in the story line.

I am looking forward to the third book comming out later in 2008. I have already preordered it.

I got this for a Christmas present for my husband and he's super picky about the condition of his books, but this was described perfectly!! and is in great condition! thanks so much!

Eldest is a good book, but I thought it was much slower paced than its preceeding book, Eragon. No matter, it's still a good book. I'd still recomend it if you want to find out what happens if you read Eragon. In fact, this book contains a few unexpected surprises!!! A book worth reading.

the book was in excellent condition when I received it, just as was indicated in the auction. It was well wrapped w/out and shipping damage.

I absolutely love this series. The Eldest book is a little lengthy but a great read. If you love dragons and the magical beyond then this book is definately for you. I would recommend this book to anyone with an imagination. The books are written so well you can actually picture everything that is going on. An absolutely must have for any avid book reader.

#1 book (until the next one comes out). I am in love with Eragon and his cousin. In this book Eragon and Saphira have come a long way with most interesting lessons on different cultures, magic, and tough fights against evil.
Eragon's cousin, Rowan, is most courageous! I love all the characters and adventure. Cannot wait until the next book hits the selves.
This is definately a book you could read over again!

Where Eragon leaves off Eldest continues to sweep you along in a wonderful, vivid world of elves, dwarves, dragons and other mysterious creatures in a battle so epic that two books can not complete the whole story! Paolini's writing is seemless and fluid, with such detail that I can see exactly what he is describing in my imagination as I am reading the story as it unfolds before me. I can not wait for Book 3!

my daughter loves stories about dragons and as it turns out, loved this book as well as his first book

My son forced me to see the movie about the first book. We were hooked. When we received this book, my son sat down and read and read till he finished the book.

The book came at an incredible speed, it was in fantastic condition. I will defintely buy here again.

A great sequel to Eragon. My teenage daughter interested me in the author and now I am hooked. I would recommend it to anyone with a love of fantasy.

The book is wonderful. It is an excellent continuation of Eragon. It is a great read for any Fantasy lover! I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Great story but you have to read Eragon, his first book to truely understand what is going on and why. It was very interesting, exciting and full of adventure.

Received book in great condition. My nephew loves it.
It's one of those book he was wishing to buy so I bought
for him last christmas for a present. He was very
grateful for it. He started reading it with much
enthusiasm.
Thanks

I like to get used books. It is cheaper and it gives me a chance to see how others like it before I spend a fortune on something I may not like. I like to use half.com and ebay to flesh out my collection and to weed out things that I don't want to read again.

i cancelled this item because i wasnt gonna get it by new years. otehr than that, it was a great product and VERY cheap!
