Rebecca H. (Rebemdee) reviewed on 8/4/2007

I couldn't finish it. I liked "Eragon," although I found it verbose. It was written by a teen and it showed, but it still had sparkle and was enjoyable. It seems Paolini got a new thesarus for Christmas and used it without reserve. The story is predictable and drawn out, and by half way through I realized I didn't care at all what happened to any of the characters so why finish it? The story just doesn't move fast enough to be interesting and the writing is painful. I'll keep the book because I'm starting a collection for if and when I have kids. I can see a tween or teen getting into this series but it's just not good enough to keep me reading.
