I think that all of you who think this book is rated lower then a four are being too hard on the kid. His ideas may not be totally genuine, but this can be said about any fantasy book. I've read the book twice and i am eager to read the next one. Please Paolini hurry i'm growing impatient for the next book, i may have to read Eragon for the third time, which wouldn't be bad, but i'd like something new. I'm 15 and would suggest this book to anyone who likes fantasy and a fun filled plot.
