This was a good book, but I didn’t feel that it lived up to the hype.
This is a great book that they demolished with the movie. Save yourself and just read the book.
A heavily derivative, Tolkien-esque fantasy epic, Eragon tries to soar but barely manages to get off the ground. A mildly engaging pair of main characters (who are somewhat cliched themselves, The Boy and His Dragon) never seem to escape the dreaded Forest of Fantasy Cliches, encountering mysterious fey elves, earthy bumbling dwarves, monstrous goblins led by a horrifying shapeshifter, a wise old storyteller who is more than he first seems, &c. I’m sure it will all make a fine LOTR-type action movie, but it’s been done before, hasn’t it?
An enjoyable, but not a memorable, read.
