MUCH better than the MOVIE version ...

OK, so we all get it that Christopher Paolini (CP) incorporated a lot of other works of fiction into his. That being said, let's move on ...

I watched the movie version [on HBO multiple times] of this book for almost a year before reading the book. I originally thought the book would follow the movie with a few small exceptions [like how they did the Harry Potter series vs. their books]. Oh, how I was WRONG!! The book is NOTHING LIKE THE MOVIE!!

(NOTE: I honestly don't know HOW the movie producers are going to bring the second book [Eldest] to life on the screen since it doesn't follow ANY of the plot points of the first book.)

The book weaves a rich history into a thoughtful story. Yes, there are similarities to other stories (and, yes I HAVE read the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings), however, I feel that CP did a really good job on tailoring this tale to the direction he wanted to maneuver us toward.

I say it's better than watching prime time TV at this point. If you don't want to buy the books, then just borrow them from your library and enjoy them for what they are - good, clean, fun reading!

well i liked it...

i know on here are more bad reviews then good ones but im halfway now and i admit that i really like this book and though it might not live up to lord of the rings. its still not that bad.

Better than the Movie

I happen to be a reader that saw the movie before I was aware there was a book. I then read the second book Eldest first which I enjoyed a great deal and recently read Eragon (Book 1). The movie was alright but I don't think it does the book justice. The movie is like a short condensed to fault version with a different ending. All in all, I say Eragon was a good and interesting book.
