Beatrix White’s Reviews > Eragon > Status Update

A terrible book that I am finishing only out of stubbornness. This reads like bad Tolkien fan fiction (I wasn’t surprised to see other reviews noting this) and seems to lack any originality. The characters are two dimensional and the plot is always too convenient (a wise old man living nearby your isolated town who just so happens to know everything you need to know and can also train you? What a coincidence!)
