Negative Positive
Title: Page-turner
Review: As the other reviews mentioned, Paolini fails to give credit where it is due to all of the great fantasy writers. Paolini does not copy Tolkien's writing excessively, though, but Robert Jordan of the Wheel of Time. The similarities are unmistakable. Example: the mountain range called the Spine, similar to the exact same mountain range above and beyond coincidence. It's useless to point them all out. To Paolini's credit, though, while writing a pretty traditional fantasy book, he somehow manages to keep you reading. Read this book if you are looking for a nice story that will keep you immersed until you sadly reach the end. It is sitting infront of me right now, and I need to stop writing this review so I can enjoy it. In my mind, Paolini's book is very much worth reading.
Is the review positive or negative?
