All I can say is...WOW!!! I love this book and now I am going to have to read the whole series. I am amazed by how incentive and imaginitive this author is!

People have been telling me for years to read this series because they knew I would love it and they were right. It is so good. I was blown away by the writing, knowing how young Paolini was when he wrote it. [It's one of those magical things that makes you think there is no way you can write a book at twice his age XD]

I would consider this epic fantasy as it is an incredible journey that Eragon goes on. The lessons he learns and the bonds he forges are truly beautiful. I look forward to reading the rest of the series in time.

Personal notes: Fantasy, dragons, epic adventure lists. Elves, Dwarves, Humans, and magic wielders.
I'm leaning toward Gryffindors for this one.

Brady’s review (11). Pretty awesome book!!!! You can’t go wrong with boys and dragons. It’s hard to pick out a favorite part because the whole book is so good. My favorite character was Saphira the dragon. The best things about dragons is that they can fly and breathe fire. The story started a little slow but once the dragon arrived it was awesome.

Saphira is hilarious and Solembum is a close second favorite. Engaging story with interesting characters that I’m curious to see more of. Im excited to see how this adventure continues. I took off a star because after the detailing of all of the other chapters they ending felt thrown at me
