Title: why this book is so popular, I will never know
Review: Eragon has been hailed as an epic story written by a teenage prodigy, but few seem to realize the sad truth about this book and its sequel. There is barely any original plot or characters in this entire series, and it very much lacks in writing talent and ability. If it had been written by, oh say, a middle aged person who had experience in the writing field, it would have never been published. The author simply takes chunks from other, better stories such as the popular Lord of the Rings trilogy, Earthsea, the Dragon Riders of Pern, and Starwars, and pretends they are his own ideas. I highly recomend you skip this book and look for something with a little more taste.
