Clichéd... but it works

While filled with Fantasy Clichés Paolini is able to build sympathetic characters we care about. His characters are complex enough for adult readers without being too complex for younger readers. Although some of his segments drag they are few and far between and do not negatively affect the plot. If you find yourself bogged down feel free to skim a bit. In my opinion this is one of the better-written fantasy novels of the last five years. Surprising when you find it was written by a teen. Based on raw talent expect Paolini to be a force for years to come as his style, creativity and life experience mature.

Eragon Movie vs. Eragon Book

Ok. I saw the movie back in December before I had read the book, then after I read the book I thought that the movie was a real disappointment; honestly. Yes I'll give it a 4 because of the awesome graphic designs and digital effects, but the plot (I believe) could have been written much better, even if all people were only wanting to see was the fierce dragon and magic. I watch movies not only for entertainment, but I really care about the actual story and how it is written; weather or not it is written well and with skill.
And I love movies that have layer upon layer of stories that will actually tell hidden meanings or cause the viewer to pause and truely consider those meanings, weather or not the meanings were meant to be extracted from the film; by that individual. And after reading Eragon, its a wonderful lengthy story that has very important details that help enhance the story telling, and I truely would have like to see that come out in the movie, but I'm only one person with only one opinion; that I think needs to be heard among the many other opinions that this world has to offer!
