content: I got an ARC of the upcoming Random House release of Eragon at the BEA in Los Angeles; read the book on the way home. Out of curiosity I got a copy of the self-pubbed book to read and compare. I loved both! I wish the best of success to the young man.The Random House reps are spreading this review of Eragon to the trade: "Full praise to Eragon and I want more! A winner ... tip of the hat to young master Paolini."--Anne McCaffrey
