Negative Positive
Title: Too much time spent on this story.
Review: Very impressed with the writing and descriptive ability of young Mr. Paolini, however it took me forever to get through this story. I felt like I was as old as Brom yet happy when I finally finished. It seemed the author was trying to prove something to get this to 500 pages. He didn't need to. The same story with the same flavor could have been told on less paper.
