I got this for Christmas, as I've been eyeing it for quite some time. The cover is too alluring to ignore, and I must say...I like dragons. So, once I finished The Jane Austen Book Club, I promptly dove into this one, and read and enjoyed all of it. Magic, intrigue, danger, dragons, elves, evil kings and monsters, what's not to like? Eragon is the main character whose life as a simple farmer boy is ripped in two as he finds a strange blue stone and unrest ripples through the Empire. Little did he know that his life could never again be the same. As he goes on his quest, he grows physically, mentally, and emotionally, and we're there to watch it all as he must fight his inner demons and the physical ones around him. This is certainly a good introduction to a trilogy, and I'm already reading book 2. However, I was sad to discover that I'm older than this author, and that he started writing this when he was 15. ::sigh:: Ah well, at least I can still enjoy the book, right?
