Title: If books had lemon laws...
Review: ...you could drop these two in a pitcher of water, add sugar, and enjoy a refreshing sip.Having mistakenly plunked down many hopeful dollars on Mr. Paolini's artfully enticing first book, I went home, cracked the cover and was instantly staggered by a blast of stubbornly unpolished writing. I struggle on, but failed in my quest to find an enjoyable paragraph. Paolini's character's early trip to the butcher shop may have interested Matha Stewart, but not any fantasy fan that I know. That aside, I found both of these books to be unreadable; too many forced descriptions and too few naturally developing characters and situations.Do yourself a favor before buying. Physically pick up these books and read any page at random. If that doesn't scare you off, then please avail yourself of the local library's copies. You will thank me later.Simply put, Eragon and Eldest may be two of the most underedited and overhyped tomes in modern publishing.
