Book Review of Eragon (Inheritance, Bk 1)

Eragon (Inheritance, Bk 1)
reviewed on + 10 more book reviews


Please DO NOT bother to read this book. It has a plagiarized storyline, wooden dialogue, two-dimensional characters, and many worn out cliches of the fantasy genre, all rolled up in a overlong novel which is at best amateurishly written. Paolini's writing style feels condescending toward the reader. He "tells" much more than he "shows", which makes for a clunky and awkward reading experience. This book is not worth your time or your Paperback Swap credits.
