Eldest (Inheritance)

Wonderfully fulfilling second entry in this series.

More information and some cool plot turns (which you could foresee from hints in the first book).

From my review of "Eragon" I will say it again ... I don't know HOW the movie company is going to convert the second book into movie form since they strayed so far from the first book's plot points. I am eagerly awaiting the second movie.

I devoured the third book ("Brisingr") in what seemed like seconds.

I have asked for notification from Amazon when the fourth (yes, fourth) book will be released - and I am very pleased CP had the thoughtfulness to expand the series rather than leave any good information out.

To the naysayers I say this:
Enjoy it for what it is - otherwise keep the negative reviews to yourself. BTW, MOST stories happen to parallel "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back". I'm a huge Star Wars fan (I saw it in the movie theater when it was FIRST released) and when I was reading Eldest I did NOT feel like it imitated that story line. It has its own persona.

It's exciting, curious, breath-holding fun.

CP - your second installment is a joy to read. I can't wait much longer for the fourth. Thanks, and keep up the good work!

My whole family like to listen to books on CD while in the car. This was a great book.

Pretty good buy,in condition as described,3 days after first day of estimated arrival date is when it arrived

If you like fantasy fiction, this is a great series, and Eldest is even better than Eragon. The story really pics up in this one. Of the three books so far, I liked this one the best.

I am absolutely surprised that the first three reviews seen are negative! I love the story that Paolini wrote. He may not be Tolkien or JK Rowling but he's still very young and quite talented.

Listen, I'm not trying to have a life-affirming epiphany here, I just want a good story and Paolini delivers. He may struggle with the language when trying to be prosaic, using obscure words when simple ones would do. However, it's a small thing and the story more than makes up for it. His writing is good enough to make me willingly suspend my disbelief and get lost in the story.
