Hey
guys, Eddie here. Today I will be reviewing the book that got me started in
reading: Eragon.
Book
Title: Eragon
Series:
Inheritance,
Book One
Author:
Christipher
Poalini

(1st edition)/Knopf Books for Young Readers
Synopsis: A young boy named Eragon who lives on a farm with his poor uncle and
cousin finds a dragon egg in the so-called “cursed” forest. The land belongs to
a rich king who rules with evil creatures. When Eragon tries to sell the egg
(he does not know what it is) to a meat butcher, the man throws away his offer
when he hears that Eragon had found it in the forest. The egg that Eragon found
was stolen from the king’s treasure room. The next day the egg hatches into a
dragon and Eragon becomes friends with the dragon. Eragon, learns of his
special fate as a Dragon Rider, and together with his friend Brom (who has
previous experiences as a Rider), sets out to join the rebels to destroy the
evil king.
Review:
This book
was the one that inspired me to start my reading adventure. What is great about
this book is that it keeps you wondering what Eragon will do next. The book is
mostly about getting Eragon and his friends ready for the biggest fight in his
life. A special trainer, who was extremely skilled in magic and all the
maneuvers of dragons, helps him overcome mental and magical challenges. I wish
there was more enemy victories to make it sadder so the rebel victories are
even more triumphant, and the scenes needed to be a bit more descriptive. The
best part is the middle/begging when the evil creatures are trying to stop him
from escaping with the dragon into rebel territory.
I
recommend this book for all young readers.
Verdict: 4 1/2 over 5 surfboards
