Christopher Paolini and Eragon, anyone?
So I am an unabashed fan of fantasy, science fiction and various and sundry other genres of fiction literature. I consider The Lord Of The Rings to be one of the finest leterary works of the twentieth century, due to the breadth of the plot, characters, cultural development such as complete languages to accompany it, etc.
Anyway, I was given a copy of Paolinis' first book, Eragon, several years ago. I enjoyed and picked up copies of his next two book, Eldest and Brisingr, as they became available in paperback. For Christmas, my wife bought me the final book of the series, Inheritance, in hardcover. Having been a while since reading Brisingr, I began with Eragon again and have just finished Inheritance. While not on the same level as some of the worls it resembles, it is nevertheless a well written and enjoyable series. Pretty impressive work considering he began writing it when he was in his teens and is still in his early twenties.
Anybody else a fan of the book? I've yet to see the movie, as I am usually disappointed.
I wish I believed in reincarnation. Where's Charles Martel when you need him?
