Title: Why do so many people love this book?
Review: I don't mean to insult the fans of Eragon, but I can't see why other teenagers find this book so amazing. After reading the first page, one can guess immediately that it was not written by an adult. Some may argue that it's very good for the writing of a teenager, but I must disagree. Every idea is a cliche. Every creature is noticeably familiar. Every event is predictable. The character development, though present, seemed very forced, as did most other aspects of the novel. I quickly became weary of the overdone descriptions and awkward dialogue and phrases. The standard elementary school rules of "show, don't tell" are violated all too often. Worst of all, Mr. Paolini didn't make me "care" about the characters, so the plot itself was worthless to me. Even as an avid reader, I honestly had to push myself to finish reading this. I advise you to save yourself the time and boredom--don't bother reading this book.
