Title: Horrifyingly Bad
Review: As a teenaged writer myself, I picked up Eragon after reading on the inside flap that the author started writing it at 15. However, I was severely disappointed when I started reading the book. Sure, the cover's attractive, and sure, the author was a teenager when he wrote it -- the book seems to have become a bestseller on those two factors alone, because it definitely wasn't literary merit that's caused it to sell so well.I anticipated Murtagh's little secret from the moment he was introduced, I found the main character to be bland and boring, and the story was hackneyed and ripped from other writers. I recommend fantasy fans read works by far more talented authors such as Holly Lisle, JK Rowling, and Eoin Colfer.
