if artists did not have inspiration and ideas from the past to draw upon, we would still be drawing stick figures on cave walls.
and most of tolkiens work was taken from ancient myth,as is most high fantasy.

stop winging u wimps, The guy did wel to produce such a book, so stop criticizing his work and maybe do something a bit more useful like writing a book ureselves, who knows u might even write something as good as eragon, but i doubt that very much!its people like you that ruin the beauty of writing

I like Tolkien, Star Wars and the Inheiritance trilogy and I think each are different. When I read the book, I was impressed with Paolini's creativity, descriptiveness and brilliant ideas. I did not think that Eragon was amazingly well-written, but he was 15, and he improved tremendously in Eldest. I think he has a great career ahead of him.

This book to me was outstanding... i actually have the book in my lap right now, and for whoever said that he never attended school, your wrong.. it said he graduated at the age of 15... Thats when he started the book and didnt finish until he was 19. Get your facts right, and quit discing the book, read it then you can talk about like or dislikes about it... but until you read it... buzz off.. these movies will be a close comparison to Lord of the Rings Series.. take the book and read it.. dont critisize on something that you havnt read~!

has he been Critized about Plaguarism? i think not? would they come out with a movie if he had been critizied for it? i think not! dont be dissin on it... and Roy.. What are you thinkin? you need to read the two books and get a life.... end of story... Eldest and Eragon might have taken what? 1 or 2 phrases from other books but he put them into his own words... thats not plauguarism.

12 year old,

The movie is set to Feature December 15th, but you can see previews of the movies May 26th at X-men 3 I think this movie is going to be a close comparison to LOTR Series and might even be a top box office hit

Listen, why can't everyone just enjoy the book for what it is? Sure it may take bits from other places, but it doesnt stop it from being a great book with a great story. I've read a lot of books in my time, and while Eragon and Eldest are not the best, they are still have an intriguing and interesting storyline with characters and experiences that to some extent i can relate too. So love it for being a good book that is far better than some of what you get out there.

Eragon is an OK book. There are several problems with it, but its still a nice book which you can read easily, most of the time.

Eragon is one of the best books I've read.It keeps you interested all the way through.Anyone whose going to act all stupid about it just because it was written by a fifteen year old who supposebly didn't go to school(which I dont believe whoever wrote that)but whover is going to judge the book based on how old the writer is or how much publicity they've gotten.Is pretty stupid if you ask me.Who cares if they've made a movie based on it I cant wait for it too come out cuz the book is flippin awesome.

Whoever calls themselves Someone Else, listen up! I personally think that it is an insult to even mention Eragon and Star Wars in the same sentence! I mean, I know a lot of people like Star Wars and all, but it just can't compare to the remarkably high standards of Eragon OR Eldest.

I've read loads of Fantasy series, and Eragon is, sad to say, not exceptionally good. One of the problems is the whole deal of Dragons. I mean, that creature has ben used so many times that its becoming bland. C. P. could have used anything...a manticore or a phoenix or basilisk. it might have done better, being different then.

I noticed that Paolini, happened to mention many facts several times over. i know this is practised to varying extents in stories. However most of those stories usually revolve around several charcters points of view. But in the case of the Single POV style of Eragon, to constantly describe murtagh as a deadly and merciless fighter AFTER showing us an incident is pointless. People would say that he was a 15 year old kid when he wrote this but that does'nt cut it. If you want to write a book, then you will judged as an author. His characters make senseless descisions in some cases. (Eragon decides that he wont wear Zar'roc b'coz Hrothgar the dwarf king does'nt want him to, and Saphira agrees. The suddenly, she changes her mind and says that he must wear it and so on..... utterly going against her comments). His plotline is nearly devoid of any actual suspense or intrigue. If anyone thought that the twins were not traitors or that murtagh was not eragon's brother then i'm sorry for you. The facts were right out there, plain for anyone to see. I will not even start on the issue of what the author deems to call romance. Its just to painful.

btw, I love everything, i suggest that YOU do not! compare star wars and eragon. Star Wars is widely acknowleged an epic of science fiction. STAR WARS has had theatres clogged for days. Star Wars has made millions and millions of dollars. I did'nt see anyone clogging bookstores for ERAGON. and i certainly did'nt see it happening for Eldest. In fact, there were so many left over in stock, that booksellers began to sell it at half the price and less. finally, when they donated the remaining books to schools and other places. (i have proof from newspaper articles and seen this with my own eyes. good respectable newspaper mind. not a cheapy tabloid.

All, in all, i DO NOT hate Eragon, but i feel that this book has not been written to the best. It is unoriginal and archetypical.

TO C P.

If you were ever to read this let me tell you one thing. you shou;d have waited to perfect this story. Given a few years, it could have been much much better. theres no point in trying to beat some record of being a kid author. a 4-5 year kid, and a 11 year old french girl have already beaten you there. tis a shame.

To the REST:

yes, undoubtedly, the unpleasant commets will now flow, but it does'nt really matter. This is my opinion of the story, and i am untitled to write what i think about it so long as i stay within the perimeters and rules of conduct. However, before you post any comment be sure to read:

The Forgotten Realms by RA Salvatore,
The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan
The Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R Martinn.
The Gameworld Trilogy by Samit Basu.

And before anyone sez that he was 15 and should be cut some slack, well, my opinion on that is aforementioned.

Eragon seems to mainly appeal to people between the age of 6-18. I just finished reading Eragon and was not mightily impressed. Like what Bibliphile said if you have read other fantasy storys you will relise how overdone and average Eragon is. Its certainly no Star Wars, no Lord of the Rings, no Raymond E Feist, no Potter. Its nothing refreshing.

First of all, 'anonymous', everything you've said is a complete lie. Christopher Paolini graduated high school at 15, for your knowledge, and was home-schooled all his life. He finished Eragon four years ago at 19. If you think he has no talent, then why did the book appear #1 on the New York Times Bestseller list for 62 weeks!?!?!?!

Eragon is a great book, and if you think it isn't, well, you're just a gay ass.
