Eragon, Eldest & Brisingr by Christopher Paolini

Overall, I'd recommend this book to people who like Lord Of The Rings, Harry Potter, and The Chronicles of Narnia. Reading about Eragon's relationship with her was one of my favorite parts because their relationship changes so often.

There's Arya, the pretty Elf ambassador whom is very skilled in fighting. Everyone would want this ability with their best friend. They also communicate telepathically to each other. The battle together, eat together, tried to get a mate around the same time. She develops and grows with Eragon in every way. Strong, resilient, driven, goal-oriented men.įor the girls, there's Saphira - a strong, beautiful, and wise dragon. Both Roran and Eragon went from being teenagers to being men. This is a good book to read for pre-teens to young adults since, at it's core, it's a coming of age story. I was fascinated with the Elf city and the ancient language. Reading these were not particularly high on my list of things to do, but it was enjoyable. The books took me awhile to read, mostly because I had other things I needed to do and other things I wanted to do. Both of these characters go through different obstacles and character development and still windup teaming up together. I also like how the story trades off point of view from Eragon to his cousin Roran, whom is dragged into the mess that Eragon has created. It's such a deep emotional attachment to the point where they would not know what to do if anything happens to the other - which I found to be quite beautiful. I enjoyed witnessing the relationship and bond Eragon and Saphira develop as the story progresses. Dwarfs are very old and ancient race sticking to their beliefs and their customs, always staying patient. That just dragged on and on and on and on and on. It was entertaining except for whenever the dwarfs met and had to talk politics. The book is better, despite the fact that they were written by a teenage boy.

IMDB gives the move a 5/10 while Rotten Tomatoes give it a 16%. I can't believe I'm saying this but, DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE! Do not waste 104 minutes of your life. All I got to say is 'What a horrible book to movie adaptation! It left out so many key details and put some characters in the wrong places and didn't even have the characters look like the description from the book!' I was about a quarter of the way through the book and I got curious. I watched the movie when he was at work one day (Sorry Babe!). It was one of his favorite series and he desperately wanted someone to talk about it with. My best friend and boyfriend highly suggested that I read it.
