Title: Excellently woven tale, keeps you riveted.
Review: This is a wonderful coming-of-age story, set in a fantastical land. Paolini does a good job of skillfully weaving the tapestry together so that you care about the characters. It's a hard book to put down once you get started.As to another reviewer who graded the book poorly for being "derivative", I seriously doubt there are any wholly original tales out there. What makes any work unique are the characters and events and how they are arranged to make a whole. By that standard, Eragon *is* unique, and very enjoyable.
