Years have passed since I read this one and years have been kind to it. so kind that I now know people that say Eragon is "their childhood" and in their top ten list of books.
Weeeeell... not in mine. I read it when it first came out and after a few chapters I was looking for a disclaimer, somewhere, anywhere in the book, where it stated the obvious: "This book is a fantasy AU fanfiction of Star Wars: a New Hope. All rights belong to Lucasfilm..."
That said (and I cannot believe it needs to be said... I mean, there are some scenes that are absolutely identical, from the death of the old mentor, up to the coming home and finding the uncle and aunt dead at the hand of the Empire troops, that I kind hoped for a "I am your father" reveal in book 2) there are other big problems. Like the fact that it's written badly. So badly that it's almost funny. But I guess it's nothing to what it's getting published "nowadays", so maybe I miss old Chris Paolini and his badly written and sloppy edited prose.
