I found this book more enjoyable than the first book, Eragon. Reading about Eragon's training with the elves was interesting although it brought to mind many other stories--Star Wars and the Karate Kid for starters. The major complaint I had about both Eragon and Eldest is that it is incredibly long--both books could have been edited down by at least 100 pages without harming the story. Eldest stoodd out because it keeps you guessing down to the last few chapters. Reading the chapter titles, I thought I knew what was going to happen but I was wrong. Looking forward to reading Brisinger to see how the final chapter plays out.
