    That is the best book I have ever read. It has so much actoin in it but it is pretty sad to because a lot of peaole die in it like Brom and his uncle in the beggining of the book. It is the best!!!

  • Hannah, age 11 of Huntington, WV
    I LOVE it. The author is really good, and I'm glad that Brisinger came out. It's soo goood. 100, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000 toes. I don't know what that numbor is, but I know it's above the trillions.

  • Katy, age 12 of Little Rock, AR
    I think Eragon is a pretty good book. The characters are pretty well written and I Loved Saphira. (Her attitude is cool) But the movie... Well lt put it this way. stick to the book!!! If they do the 2nd book as a movie, don't screw it up!

  • Tony, age 10 of Edmonton, AB
    I like it cause it gives lots of detail. I think its a little better then the movie.

  • Patrick, age 9 of Alexandria, VA
    I read all 3 books--Eragon, Eldest and Brisingr--and I have to say Eragon was the most boring of all three. The trilogy got off to a slow start, then Eldest was 4 toes, but Brisingr was definetely the best.

    I know that most kids who are reviewing this aren't quite old enough to really understand the Lord of the Rings, so they think Eragon is great. Well, it's actually a rip-off. Every part is ripped right out of other BETTER books. I don't understand why Eragon is so popular. It's funny, but not intentionally.

  • Brandon, age 14 of Jericho, NY
    This book is the heart of fantasy in my opinion as it changes the life of a simple farm boy. Me living in a middle class family understood the hardships of eragon. and what I like most about it is that each character was so different and that the plot grew with each character. there is so much to talk about so much happens in this one book, it is simply amazing.

  • Darby, age 9 of Goodlettsville, TN
    One word:LOVE. I'm going to read the sequel. I got lost for hours in it. 10 toes!!

  • Natasha, age 11 of El Paso, TX
    i like it because uit talks about fantasy

  • Katie, age 13 of Chesapeake, VA
    This book is soooo good. I'm a dragon freak and this book is so perfect. I've read Eldest and I can't wait for Brisinger.

  • Gwen, age 11 of Chicago, IL
    I LOVED Eragon because I could just picture riding Saphira. I even dressed up as the elf girl for halloween

  • Emmy, age 13 of Los Osos, CA
    This book I didn't get at first but in the end it covered everything I didn't understand and Eragon would definitely be worth '5 toes'. I was pretty amazed that such a young author would cover this much in one book and I'm already onto the third in the trilogy. It has inspired me to make my own stories by what the author has done. A must read.;D

  • Casey, age 13 of MI
    It's awesome! One of the best books I've ever read! But the movie (If you've read the book) is HORRIBLE! I mean, they skip over HALF the book! I know they can't put the whole book in movie form but they leave out tons of characters, skipped a huge part of the story - the part that makes it interesting! - and they change the end scene so much the only thing in common is that- never mind, if you haven't read the book it would reveal to much! Read the book! Skip the movie!

  • Anna, age 10
    I love it, the adventures are so interesting!

  • Callista, age 13
    Eragon is a really good book. I could see everything happening in Alagaesia in my head.

  • Alex, age 7 of Bronx, NY
    ITS SOOOO COOL! I 5 Toes:) Lots of people in second grade think im weird because I reead it but im smart like that:)

  • Sam, age 12 of Saline, MI
    This is the best book EVER!!! I love all the action and how people turn out to be different then you expect them to be. This book was so great I couldn't put it down!! I think its so cool that it was written by, like, a 15 year old. I hope Christopher Paulini keeps the books coming!!

  • Dominc, age 10 of Simivalley, CA
    I think its a great book. Every sentence I read I think I'm there in the book. but the movie is really different. They didn't even show eragon learning magic. I definitely disagree with the people who say stick to the lord of the rings series. this is the best book i've ever read (besides the harry potter series) but it's still great.

  • Lexi, age 13 of Brookfield, IL
    I love Eragon! It took me a week to finish that book. I'm a bookworm! I love to read good books lik Eragon!

  • Nancy of Dumoun, IA
    I love it because it has a dragon

  • Hannah, age 11 of Huntington, WV
    I love it. The auther is going to make the third one into two books. My sister hated it. She would probly give it one toe. I give it five toes.

  • Lucy, age 10 of Jefferson City, MO
    My word! I LOVED IT! All sorts of exiteing things happening all in this book! Also, this book was SO good, words aren't strong enough to discribe it.

  • Becky, age 13 of Red Bud, IL
    I think that this book is A-mazing! I LOVE fantasy so much and this really is one of my favorite books, just as the Inkheart trilogy and Harry Potter series are, and it makes me feel as if I was in Alegasia whenever I read it.

  • Lydia, age 12 of Amsterdam, NY
    Eragon was such an amazing book, especially with such a young author! I started Eldest too and can't wait till the next one comes out!!!

  • ZOOM Fan, age 14
    Ok here's the thing, I really enjoyed the first book of the series, but when I got to the second it was not the same. What really botherd me was the authors vegitarian veiws which were obviously aparent in the main characters disaproval of Saphira eating meat, and after catching and cooking a rabbit he feels to guilty to eat it. My thought is don't waist it! I agree with Grace age 13 from MD, Stick to Lord of The Rings and The Chronicals of Narnia. P. S The move is not as obvious on these veiws. It also is totally different.

  • Megan, age 13 of Cincinnati, OH
    LOVE IT!!! I've read both Eragon and Eldest, and their both way my style!! I love fantasy and reality mixed together, that's why I like Eragon. I also love adventure books, and fight and all that just make me whant to read more!!

  • Suzie, age 11 of Houston, TX
    Me like a girl I luved the book actually I saw da movie but I dont say awsom but I say great

  • Jacob, age 12 of Norwich, CT
    Eragon was a great book, and I was hooked on it aftervthe first five minutes. Chris p. did a great job with character personalities, descriptions, and the plot. I finished the whole thing in, like, 3 days.

  • Vanessa, age 13 of Alhambra, CA
    Eragon is an AWESOME book! it is a good piece of litteriture. infact, the book inspired me to write my own story about dragons. (and its actually going well.) the movie was ok, book: better, much better. the descriptions of Saphira and Eragon's relationship made you actually feel the characters. I wish the next two books can come out. check on the book website and Paloni says he will write two. I totaly recomend the book for fantacy and especialy dragon lovers. I would give it infintiy toes!!!

  • Hannah, age 13 of Boise, ID
    I really enjoyed reading the book! But I hated the Movie it didn't follw the book at all!

  • Laurence, age 12 of NC
    Loved the book, loved the land Paolini created. Christopher is an inspiration to all young people who have a talent for writing.

  • Tika, age 13 of Hesston, KS
    Eragon was EXTREMELY good!!! I got the first and second books for my B-day. Chrisipher Paolini is almost finished with the third book. But it's so long, I think he's going to put it in two books. I just wish he would hurry up!!!

  • Grace, age 14 of MD
    I started to read this book, but then stopped. Why, you ask? Not because it was fantasy (I love fantasy). Not because it was about a boy (I really don't care). But because it was very poorly written. Very amateurish quality in my opinion, hard to follow. And I've heard stuff regarding it such as the negative feeling in the book towards believing or having faith in anything other than yourself. So, not trying to be mean, but if you want some decent fantasy, stick with Lord of the Rings and the Chronicles of Narnia. Way better.

  • Laquisha, age 15 of Windsor, ON
    I loved it! it was good, but it was a little long. the next one should come out soon, I hope. also, the movie was good, but they completly ruined the book. you have to watch it without thinking of the book, then it's alot better!

  • Ashley, age 13 of Muncie, IN
    I love this book because it gives kids a chance to go somewhere where they cant go in real life... it takes you I another world... another dimension even... this is a great place and oppurtunity for kids to just let themselves go for just a minute or a couple minutes... it is fun while still being educational...

  • Savana, age 10 of Houston, TX
    It is the best book in the world!!! ( Besides Harry Potter of course!!!)

  • Sarah, age 14 of Stuttgart, Germany
    This book was ok. I am not that big on fantacy in the first place, so this book really was not my favorite. In my opinion, all fantacy books need to have a God figure. Someone for the people to look up to. In this book, Eragon (a human) was the supposed 'savior' and it didn't work out so well. But beside from that rather large fact. I would give it 3 toes.

  • Kelly, age 13 of Syracuse
    I love Eragon, although it took me a little bit to get used to the 'fantasy' talk. I saw the movie and that was good too.

  • Jessica, age 9 of Trenton, NJ
    I love it!!! Its sooooooooo cool. omg

  • Angel, age 10 of Santo Domingo
    I love Eragon, its so cool, in the air being the dragon rider driving a fire breathing dragon, its so awesome I wish I could be in the book, if I was you would not want to know what would happen to me

  • Brianna, age 11 of Toledo, OH
    It's OK. It's just a little dull, but it's a good idea!

  • Ashley, age 14 of Covington, GA
    So, I've never actually read the book, but I have seen the movie. It's cool; I enjoyed it. What imagination, right?

  • Debby of Cleveland, OH
    I *heart* this book. DON'T WATCH THE MOVIE. It doesn't follow the book at all.

  • Jordan, age 15 of ON
    Ewwwww! Not my thing! It's weird. Dragons... that talk? Again... not my thing.

  • Aurora, age 15 of Grishwald, MT
    Eragon is the type of book I would generally love, action, romance, cool mysterious people---but the major downside is that it completely lacks originality. Two toes.

  • Haley, age 14 of Auburndale, FL
    I like it because every sentence you read will want you not to stop reading. it gets so interesting that you dont want to stop!

  • Katherine, age 10 of Dopont, WA
    I love Eragon i. It is so magical.

  • Jessica, age 11 of Bozeman, MT
    It is one of the best books I have ever read. It was so inspiring how he learns and deafeats durza. I like all the detail. My cousin knew christpher paolini!!!

  • Katherine, age 11
    It was okay... pretty good, but kinda boring. I enjoyed it enough, but I'm not going to read it again.

  • Jannette, age 10 of Galt, CA
    Eragon is a really good book I would recomend it! If you where bored why not just go to the library and check it out.

  • Katherine, age 7 of Chino Hills, CA
    I like it becuse it had a dragon in it and I am born of the year of the dragon. I think eragon is the best! I hope you like it to.
