Product Description

 
One boy. One dragon. A world of adventure.

When Eragon finds a polished blue stone in the forest, he thinks it is the lucky discovery of a poor farm boy; perhaps it will buy his family meat for the winter. But when the stone brings a dragon hatchling, Eragon realizes he has stumbled upon a legacy nearly as old as the Empire itself.

Overnight his simple life is shattered, and he is thrust into a perilous new world of destiny, magic, and power. With only an ancient sword and the advice of an old storyteller for guidance, Eragon and the fledgling dragon must navigate the dangerous terrain and dark enemies of an Empire ruled by a king whose evil knows no bounds.

Can Eragon take up the mantle of the legendary Dragon Riders? The fate of the Empire may rest in his hands.

Eragon - Fantasy, adventure and magic come of age

Date of Review:  Nov 17, 2004
The Bottom Line: The bottom line soared above the castle on its dragon, to the fear and delight of the peasants below, while drawing the fearful wrath of the king.....
Review: Twice each year I run a book fair at the elementary school attended by my children. With each fair I notice an increase in one particular genre of book for the upper grades. Fantasy. Stand alone novels, series, light, dark, you name it. I ve come to...

Eragon: Entirely Derivative, But Worth Reading Anyway

Date of Review:  Feb 9, 2006
The Bottom Line: About as good as teenage fanfic ever gets
Review: Christopher Paolini was hailed as a wunderkind for his debut fantasy novel, Eragon, which made him a #1 bestselling author at the age of just nineteen. Since I was on a young adult fiction kick anyway, I decided to give Eragon a try and see what all...

A Dragon's Tale from a Youthful Perspective

Date of Review:  Jan 17, 2006
The Bottom Line: While the writing was a little young-ish, this is definitely worth a read. I expect great things from this author.
Review: Fantasy stories have been around nearly forever, from Robert Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland to J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. Unfortunately, they developed somewhat of a stigma and had fallen out of the mainstream for the most part. Then...

  Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books: "[P]aolini manages to combine his own characters with prototypical plot developments in relatively original ways, and makes up for all the scene-setting with a rousing battlefield payoff. That should be enough to satisfy the insatiable appetites of hardcore fantasy readers, who will certainly be on the lookout for the upcoming sequel."

First Line
  Wind howled through the night, carrying a scent that would change the world. A tall Shade lifted his head and sniffed the air. He looked human except for his crimson hair and maroon eyes.
