I LOVE ERAGON!Though I found Eldest, Brisinger, and Inheritance rather slow..
On my to-read this summer list!
Mod
I hope so! Everyone who has read it seems to like it. Well, other than those that say it was too close to LOTR
Mod
For me, it was LOTR meets Star Wars XD
Star Wars plot, LOTR characters. Still good, though.
Murtaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh.
I've only read Eragon. ;P But Murtaaaaaaaagh.

Although Paolini decided to rip out our hearts and stomp on them at the end of Inheritance. God, the pain and bittersweet ness...
I really should. Eventually. :POh, dear, that's ominous.
Mod
Oh, yes. Indeed it is.
Yes, you should read it all, but don't expect to love the end. ;) Mel, what did you think of the end? (spoiler hide it ;) )

One dragon . . .
A world of adventure.
When Eragon finds a polished blue stone in the forest, he thinks it is the lucky discovery of a poor farm boy; perhaps it will buy his family meat for the winter. But when the stone brings a dragon hatchling, Eragon soon realizes he has stumbled upon a legacy nearly as old as the Empire itself.
Overnight his simple life is shattered, and he is thrust into a perilous new world of destiny, magic, and power. With only an ancient sword and the advice of an old storyteller for guidance, Eragon and the fledgling dragon must navigate the dangerous terrain and dark enemies of an Empire ruled by a king whose evil knows no bounds.
Can Eragon take up the mantle of the legendary Dragon Riders? The fate of the Empire may rest in his hands.
