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.

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 …

Review of 'Eragon' on 'Goodreads'
1 star
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.

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.
