Title: My Honest Review of Eragon/Eldest
Review: I read this a few years ago because it was the latest craze. A fifteen year old (who finished it when he was 19) wrote a 550 page book! Most teenagers aren't exactly great writers, so I felt I had to check this out.The book? 550 pages of derivativeness, pointless description (especially that of a certain elf's cleavage), and a carbon copy of Star Wars. For starters, 80% of the book is description of either the terrain or of hot elves, and yet I have no idea what the main character looks like. Not to mention the fact that Paolini obviously wrote it with a thesauras by his side. Machicolated?! We have no idea either. I'm not sure whether that was in Eragon, or Eldest, but what the hey?And then the plot. Yaargh. Take Star Wars, set it in medieval times, replace robots with dragons, and take out any originality. That's basically the plot. And as for Eldest, take everything I said here and multiply it by 5. Yup. It's that bad.
