Eragon
by Christopher Paolini
Reviewed by Phoenix, 12

This book's about Eragon, a 15-year-old boy who lives on a farm with his uncle Garrow and cousin Roran. One day he finds a dragon egg that hatches and he bonds with it. He sets out on an adventure to kill the ra'zac (monsters who killed Garrow). On his adventure, he meets Brom, Murtag, and Arya.

When Brom dies, Eragon heads to the Varden who are trying to dethrone Galbatorix, to save the dying Arya. I would highly recommend this book because it always keeps you intrigued no matter what. Whenever another book might have a dull moment, this book just keeps on going strong. Some of the reasons this book is amazing are it is funny, it has good lore and it is extremely detailed with a great backstory. I noticed that it is detailed because Christopher Paolini comes up with entire words with meanings that have magical power. Another reason is he comes up with these elaborate rules for magic. I loved the character cast, it had amazing characters like Eragon, Saphira, Brom, Arya, Solembomm, and Angela. My favorite character would have to be Angela because she is hilarious and extremely powerful. I also love that she has so many mysteries in her past and she was able to gain the respect of a werecat.
