See Dick, Jane and Spot walk. See Spot run. Dick and Jane run after Spot.
Sadly, "Eragon" as a fantasy novel falls into the "Dick and Jane" books category I learned to read from as a small child; if only slightly better. For those few here, along with the fandom online, I wonder if they have read less than a handful of fantasy novels to give "Eragon" such rave reviews?
Read Lord of the Rings (JRR Tolkien), Dragonriders of Pern (Anne McCaffrey), Wizard of Earthsea (Ursula LeGuin) and Starwars (George Lucas), then take a second look at "Eragon." Use cut & paste, change a few letters around, and wall-ah - "Eragon" is the result.
When I forget to feed the dogs or to change our cat's litter-box, the punishment I have chosen for myself is to read portions of "Eragon". Since then our cat has the cleanest litter-box on the planet and the dogs our well-fed.
