Eragon
Okay I just finish reading Eargon. I must say, even through it is a kid’s book, it was well written. The story kept me interested, but it seemed the Tolken inspiration went a little too far with the made up language. They seemed a little half-baked. I also started worrying about 60 pages from the end that the story was going to either be carried over to the second book or it would have some lame ass ending. I was right in both cases. I feel even if a novel is part of a bigger piece the story should stand on its own and truly this one did until the end. With its to be continued…
How was I right about it being lame? Well when a story can’t stand on it own it is simply that. Lame. The sad part is I was really enjoying the story. Will I buy Eldest? Right now I’m not sure.
