Negative Positive
Title: Solid Read Overall
Review: I thought that this book was good overall. Sure, you can definitlely spot many similarities between Eragon and other very popular fantasy novels. But what is the problem in that? Taking an approach that has been sucessful is smart, and the book shouldn't be degraded for that. While the characters may not have been quite as personal as in books such as in the Dragonriders of Pern series, I thought that he did a decent job creating his main characters. The most important aspect of a book to me is that its plot is exciting, and makes me WANT to keep reading, and Eragon did that. The only thing I really had an issue with was the sometimes apparent predictibility of the novel (ie, he's going to be attacked right... now.)But overall, a solid book. I enjoyed reading it.
Is the review positive or negative?
