Title: Agreeing with B. Capossere's review ...
Review: I agree with B. Capossere's lengthy and thoughtful review. This was a 17-year-old fantasy book written by a 17-year-old. My 12-year-old son loved it, and that is to be expected. But where was Paolini's editor? For my part, I felt like the work jerked me back-and-forth, as the author would run deep for a bit, then shallow, then back and forth. While I enjoyed the story as a reflection -- as Capossere points out -- of greater fantasy writers, with some tighter editing, this could have been even better.Still, hurrah for Paolini for self-publishing and believing in his work enough to see it through! I'll look forward to reading his works in 10 years or so ....
