Title: Fantasy For Dummies
Review: I found Eragon to be a very basic, bare-bones fantasy story. The way I see it, the basic structure of a fantasy plot is like a skeleton and it is the author's job to give those bones flesh. However, Paolini failed to do this and his book is the perfect example of a stereotypical fantasy. It seems as if Paolini was writing Eragon the way he thought it SHOULD be written rather than letting himself write his own story. This book might be useful as a first-timer's introduction to fantasy but as an actual work of literature, it's just not good.
