  • Review:
    I have read this book on and off for several weeks now. At the last weekend, me and my boyfriend decided to quit, although we had not finished it. We think it is just too boring. Everythink is decribed great detail and so it seems as if nothing really happend for long parts of the book. Maybe it would not have been not the same ift we have read this story in German and not in English, but I am not sure. So I can´t recommend this book to other readers. The first part was wonderfull, the second was okay, but the third part is boring and I don´t think we´ll ever finish it or read the next  part of the series.

  • Review:
    I liked this book, too. Eragon becomes older, he falls in love and has to manage many different adventures and he learns that not everything is the way it seems to bee.  But  I think the first volume is a little bit better. Because the story is very long and sometime a little bit boring, we take a break from the “Inheritance Circle“ now and read another book (or two) before continuing with the third and fourth part. Sometimes I think the book had been better if it hadn’t been so long. I’d think, maybe half as long as it is. But the story is still great — big themes: Love, friendship, good and evil, loyalty are big words and the story tells much about them. I can understand that many people love it and I will surely read the last two  parts of this series.

An exciting jouney begins for Eragon and his dragon as they experience what could not be imagined before and find out things that they had never expected.
  • Review:
    It was a real good book and I can hardly believe that was written by a fifteen year old. I loved to listen to the very exciting book and follow the fortune of the Dragon Rider and his dragon, when my boyfriend read it to me. I have been deep inside the story and could really feel how it was for Eragon and his friends. I liked it very much to follow his development and accompany him on his path to become a real Dragon Rider.  I liked the characters, whom Eragon meets on his way. I like, Saphira most, but also  Brom, Murtagh, Arya and Solembum. They bring friendship, love and some funny moments into the story. I can recommend this book to all people, who love fantasy with dragons,  Elves and much of magic. It is a wonderfull book and I am happy to have started with the next part of the series directly when we  finished this book.
