Book Reviews of Eragon (Inheritance, Book 1)
Book Review: "Eragon I am your father!" - Galbatorix
Summary: 2 Stars
While being 15 I expect to see people of this age group to write like this instead of wrtng liek dis lol lol. When I was 15 I was writing my own fiction that was truly non-borrowed (I'm thinking the other reviewers thing 15 is YOUNG when it is NOT.) Thus, this book is utter plagarism! From when the house gets ruined to the Obi-wan Kenobi Brom, it's all there. I knew even before it was written, who Brom was. He was the Jedi master that had a dragon whose name was Saphira, yadda yadda. Thus knowing this I know who Eragon's father is and that he might have a sister, etc. If I was George Lucas, I would sue. There's too much the same here for it NOT to be different.
Also, Paolini can't seem to do a decent scene change without having the main character black out! This is POOR choreography and could have been written better. Overall the structure of the time and the pacing reads like a fanfiction I see for Harry Potter or Sailor Moon.
As for all the people who give it props for no reason, go out and READ more WATCH movies more. You'll see that others have gone before. I'm honestly NOT enthralled in the book, it's like a train wreck though, you want to keep reading just tosee how much this guy DID rip off from the others.
