It’s a New Year and time for lots of new consumptions!! I love mythical, mystical, fantasies… this is looking to be a great one!

a bit overrated, but still good. warning: NEVER SEE THE MOVIE. IT WAS AN ATROCITY.

This was a good book, but I didn’t feel that it lived up to the hype.

This is a great book that they demolished with the movie. Save yourself and just read the book.

Such a cliffhanger. Only the Eldest’s preview at the end satisfied me, even for just a bit.

Need to get my hands on the second book now…

A heavily derivative, Tolkien-esque fantasy epic, Eragon tries to soar but barely manages to get off the ground. A mildly engaging pair of main characters (who are somewhat cliched themselves, The Boy and His Dragon) never seem to escape the dreaded Forest of Fantasy Cliches, encountering mysterious fey elves, earthy bumbling dwarves, monstrous goblins led by a horrifying shapeshifter, a wise old storyteller who is more than he first seems, &c. I’m sure it will all make a fine LOTR-type action movie, but it’s been done before, hasn’t it?

An enjoyable, but not a memorable, read.

You must read!!! This is an AWESOME book.
