Title: fanfiction rife with childish veneer
Review: I'm afraid it won't be long before we realize who Mister Paolini truly is. A hack, a scoundrel and a fanfiction writer who has gone way overboard. My true beef with the book wasn't stylistically, aesthetically, or phonetically (albeit it didn't score much at all on those counts). No...what damns the writer (and the book) is its slapped around, preconceived ideas that can be better had from the original sources whence they came. The old school writers, Fritz Leiber, Anne McCaffrey, J.R.R. Tolkein, Mervyn Peake, Mallory...Anything but this insufferable rubbish...
