Negative Positive
Title: Not memorable for many adult readers
Review: Christopher Paolini did an amazing job to write this book at the age of 17. However, the imagination and originality of Eragon is lacking. It seems as if the plot is derived from a mixture of a number of past fantasy novels. Overall, the plot contains trite ideas and themes. Character development, and especially emotional development, are areas that are weak. It is a fairly good book, especially for younger readers, but there is not much substance and originality to make it memorable for older readers.
