Negative Positive
Title: Mildly interesting at best.
Review: This book is really just formula fantasy. There is nothing really new or original in this book. The language is stilted at times and forced. Similes are often "off." The book is "unrealistic" at times - and by that I mean given its own frame of reference. For example, Eragon becomes a world class swordsman in a couple of months?! Saphira is depicted as a powerful dragon and displays this at times, yet cannot carry 3 people?! There are other little errors as well that just show the superficiality of the book; for example, the weather is described as cloudy then moments later, they are viewing the stars for navigation. Eragon himself is a superficial character: I never got to actually care what happens to him. I love fantasy so I read the entire book, but I have no interest in reading the subsequent books.
