This book was good. I had bought it to fill my Terry Pratchett/Harry Potter fix and it worked well enough! :) I don't think it as good at the other books but it was a fun easy read.

"Eragon, a young farm boy, finds a marvelous blue stone in a mystical mountain place. Before he can trade it for food to get his family through the hard winter, it hatches a beautiful sapphire-blue dragon, a race thought to be extinct. Eragon bonds with the dragon, and when his family is killed by the marauding Ra'zac, he discovers that he is the last of the Dragon Riders, fated to play a decisive part in the coming war between the human but hidden Varden, dwarves, elves, the diabolical Shades and their neanderthal Urgalls, all pitted against and allied with each other and the evil King Galbatorix. Eragon and his dragon Saphira set out to find their role, growing in magic power and understanding of the complex political situation as they endure perilous travels and sudden battles, dire wounds, capture and escape."

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

Sent to luthien1121 in a trade! Thanks for the trade. I hope you enjoy this book! :)

Got this in the mail two days ago and I'm deep in the middle of it--school is out for the summer and this is some of my first fun reading! Thanks much for the trade, so far the book is much better than the movie. It's hard to believe it was written be a 15 yr old. I'll definitely read the rest of the series.
