Eragon

Book Review By Joey Montero

The book Eragon was written by Christopher Paolina. He was the age of eighteen when he wrote and he was nineteen when it was published in his parents publishing company. Eragon was in The New York Best Selling List. After he finish Eragon he wrote three more books that continue each other. The book Eragon was made into a movie. Eragon is a young farm boy who found a blue stone in a hunting trip. He tries to sell it but is unable to. After a couple of weeks of keeping the stone it hatches a beautiful blue dragon. Eragon hide the dragon from his uncle and cosine. As the Dragon grew older Eragon found that he could communicate with his pet dragon through his mind. He eventually learns that he and his dragon are part of a legacy of secret heroes called the Rider. When the kingdom finds out about this they send creatures to capture Eragon but the were enable to find Eragon or the dragon so they burn down Eragon’s house and Eragon’s uncles was inside the house at the time so it end up killing him as well. When Eragon comes back from a trip he find out about what had been done to his uncle, he sets out on a journey accompanied by his dragon Saphira and Brom. Through out the journey Eragon mature and learns to control his abilities. He goes through many things including fighting a long-standing war, helping an ethereal elf, and dealing with tragedy and revenge. This book captures your mind and brings it into Eragon world. But to like this book you must really enjoy fantasy books and you must be patient because in some parts of it you are very uninterested. Through out the book you notice that the author has stolen many parts from other stories so it’s not completely original. The book captures your attention but the loses it and it captures it again and then loses it again its an never ending cycle.
