Title: Sadly done, Christopher Paolini
Review: Eragon is an epic journey of a small boy who is a peasant, and is telepathically linked with a dragon. This opens up to a regular fantasy plot, they go off and fight good vs. evil. It was upsetting to read this book, partly because of all the unoriginal ideas that were smashed together. Eragon is pretty much the mixture between Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, most of the writing seems more copied than written itself.The List of Good things:1. Nicely Done Cover2. Some parts included colorful demonstration of writing.The List of Bad Things:1. Copied from Lord of the Rings. (see other reviews for lists)2. Copied from Star Wars. (see other reviews for facts and list)3. Poorly done dialogue.4. Biggest cliche a fantasy fan can ever see.Why this book has received publicity:1. Christopher Paolini and his family's ability to promote the book well by spending money for promotions, etc.2. Was written by a 15 year old.
