Eragon

Title: Eragon
Author: Christopher Paolini
Genre: fiction, fantasy
Reviewer: Carl

The story is about a boy named Eragon who lives on a farm with his uncle and cousin. One day he was walking through the woods and found what he thought was a beautiful stone. After a period of time he found out it was an egg … not just an ordinary egg … a dragon egg. When the egg hatches he names the dragon Saphira because of her blue color. Eragon finds out he is destined to become a Dragon Rider and the adventure begins. This is the first book in a trilogy which means there are three books: Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr.


I like this book because the author uses great descriptive words and has a vivid imagination. You can’t wait to keep reading to find out what happens to all of the characters. You can see the events happening in your mind. He created a whole other world and types of people. The people had different languages (he made them up.) He was only 19 when he wrote Eragon and I think he inspires young people to write.
