Title: An entertaining novel by all standards
Review: While this book has many similarities to the the works of other writers, it maintains its own appeal. Readers of Tolkien will most definitely recognize some of the names, characterizations, and storylines located throughout the book. It is a realatively easy read and an enjoyable book despite its many refrences. I personally found it hard not to be strongly reminded of Tolkien constantly. It is certainly a book for those not quite ready to take up Tolkien's heavy volumes. I praise the work of Christopher Paolini and look forward to reading is next book.
