  An Outstanding Book
Review created: 08/09/06
15 of 16 people found this review helpful.

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.

  Homeschooler writes novel
Review created: 06/06/06

5 of 7 people found this review helpful.

KUDOS to homeschool kids!We also love the fact that the author was in his teens and home schooled when he wrote this novel.If you have a boy that is into dragons be sure to buy the first and second book of the series. I struggle with buying it this year because it will leave you hanging because the third book is not yet in print and it is a bit awkward to go back and pick it up a year later. If you are trained to wait for Harry Potter then start buying the set right away. Be aware.

This is a well done story and you will find it gripping because of the connection to the boy and his Dragon. It is the classic American tale- orphan finds trauma or struggle and is forced to look at how he was raised versus the bad blood he has come from. Star Wars lovers will see a very similar theme in the bad guy of this series and it is the Star Wars saga with Dragons. Get it in hardcover because you will want to keep it and many schools are putting it on the recommended reading list for age 11-16. This is not a book for little-little kids. There is violence and gore- perfect for an older boy and great for parents who still read with older children.

  WHY PAY HUNDREDS FOR A PLAYSTATION3 GET YOURS FREE!
Review created: 07/22/08
by:

Get one for FREE!!! Have a look at this video first:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFKYVE__Mug

Just take 2 minutes and read this. This is very EASY to do! It literally
takes 10 minutes to setup. Simply follow the steps below. I promise you,
this is 100% real. I will answer you on any question! Here is what you
do. Click on the link below, register, pick an account type (referral is
the easiest) and complete just 1 offer (Very important that you complete
the 1 offer otherwise your account will sit in limbo until you do).This
is not like other sites where you need to complete one offer on 2 or 3
different pages!!! And a lot of these offers are FREE trials with
nothing else to buy...No commitments!!!

There are plenty of cool offers to choose from such as Blockbuster
online, Stamp.com, Netflix, Gamefly which are services you would
regularly sign up for anyways and their all secure networks, why not use
them to get a free PS3 System or cash (I did the Stamps.com for a 30 day
free trial and it never cost me a penny and I received credit for it the
same day). Look at the offers and choose the one that works for you.
After signing up and completing your one offer, simply refer 8-13 people
(depending on the FREE prize you choose) to do the same under your link
(just post the same thing as I have on eBay, and you'll get your
referrals before the auction even ends.)

Then they will ship your PS3 System or your selected item for free, I
chose the PS3 80gb System. No Joke, 100% REAL!!! The reason these
companies make money, is because most people don't bother getting all
the referrals. All you have to do is post it ! They use us as
advertisement by word of mouth which saves them tons of money which goes
toward yours and my free gift. These are legit companies such as
Blockbuster, Netflix, Gamefly etc... You can copy my listing if you
want. You must use your own authentic link though. You will get your own
personal link after your orders placed.



Step 1: Click this link http:
http://www.YourPS34free.com/index.php?ref=5173274

Step 2: Sign up and chose an account type (Referral is the easiest and
best).

Step 3: Complete just 1 offer (like Blockbuster or Stamps.com) and refer
up to 13 people to do the same (use eBay! Do what I did, copy my ad).

Step 4: Receive your PS3 System for FREE!!!!!!!!!! (Even The Shipping Is
Free!!!)


For proof that this is for real, click on the link below. It's the
company that is behind everything.

http://www.trainn.org/reviews.php

If you have any questions feel free to message me!! I'll Respond ASAP.
If you want hints/tips about the whole process, I'd be happy to fill you
in.

Please take advantage of this offer!!!

Review created: 06/19/08

I really liked/enjoyed the book. However it was long and I dozed off a lot and took a full 2 weeks to finish it when it only took 3 days for the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows or similar length books. I started to doze off when it kept talking about traveling, I guess I just like the parts with action.

My grandson is a first grader, and he is reading this book for the summer. He is only reading six or seven pages a day, but he is at least still interested in reading enough to keep it up. He did not at first understand all the phrases or words but he has had his interest peeked to the point where he looks up the meanings.
He ask me for this book and he is prooving to me he likes it so I am going to purchase the next book Eldest for him as soon as he finishes this one. It is very interesting, I plan to read it as soon as he is finished.

  what a fantastic book!!!
Review created: 03/02/08

I absolutely loved this book. I have been looking for another set of books to get engrossed in, after closing out the Harry Potter series. I never dreamed that I could find another author with the same imagination and strength of characters that this book has...
I bought the book because some of my co-workers where talking about the movie (which I still have not seen yet) and I wanted to read the book. Then my son spoke highly of the book and I just had to read it...
Fantastic book!!!
I highly recommend to anyone who loves fantasy and dragons!!!

  The Best Book I've ever read...
Review created: 01/23/08

Okay, I was thinking at first that I'm just not into dragons or fantasy stuff, so I'd hate this book. But I was BLOWN away! For a 15 year old author (at the time he wrote this), I could not be more impressed.

I read EVERY single word of this book V E R Y S L O W L Y so that it would last longer. Usually I finsih a book in a few hours. I wanted this one to last and last.

Very imaginative, great descriptions, excellent story and truly a marvel!

This is such a fun book with action, adventure, suspense, and fantasy every page of the way! I couldn't stop reading this book when I picked it up. A wonderful story for just about anyone. If you like fantasy, you'll love this book. It is sure to go down in literary history as a classic.

This is a book, a very good book, it has only one problem though, the plot is exactly like that of Starwars, EVERYTHING. I still recommend it, but don't expect a whole lot.

I purchased this book after borrowing an audio version from a friend. I have listened to the audio book twice, read my hardcover once, and purchased the sequel. Look forward to book number 3! Well written and hard to put down. This young author has a great future ahead of him!!!!

Review created: 06/01/07

Talk about good usage of adjetives! This extremley young HOMESCHOOLED author kept my emotions in his grip through out the entire story, not to mention my entire family. His vivid descriptions and attention to detail makes this a pretty amazing story to read aloud and share with the entrie family. Their is a very similar story line to a belove movie saga, Star Wars. This series will hold its own through the years!Its so very real, you feel what the charachters feel. Get ready for a dragon studded adventure!

There is not one slow, boring page in the entire book! Every word, every paragraph just flows into the next wrapping you in the tale and sweeping you right along with it. So much better then the movie could ever hope to be because of all the wonderful details only the imagination bring forth. I can not wait to start reading Eldest to see what happens next!

Review created: 05/03/07

I saw the movie first and as usual they did not do the book justice! Talk about rewriting and leaving out alot of the book! If you truely want to know Eragon READ the book! Paolini does a wonderful job bringing the characters to life with his discriptions and he way he writes. A great read for anyone who's a fan of Magick and fantasy. If you like the Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings series you will definately like this book!

My 9yo son and I both read this book and loved it. We were both further fascinated by the fact that the author wrote it while a teenager. Fantastic adventure and coming of age story. Who would not want to have their own dragon?

  Intence and action packed.
Review created: 03/22/07

Eragon is my favorite book (aside from tha Narnia Chronicles). It is very interesting and original. This book even inspired me to start writing my own book. Imagine! Eragon is full of action and has dragons, elves, and dwarves. I recommend this book if you are a fiction book lover. And if your not a fiction lover you, will be after you read Eragon. Amazing book. Looking foward to the sequel Eldest. Im going to read it soon.
