WHAT IS ALL YOU PEOPLES PROBLEMS???? Oh my gosh! Paolini didn't copy from stupid Star Warz or LOTR. How could you say that? None of the plot lines are the same....AT ALL! Plus this is supposed to be a review meaning metioning SOMETHING about the book. I mean you couldn't have just disliked it because you thought it was a little like LOTR. So you can't say anything about it. Could you write that good when you were 15? I think NOT! So what if you think the plot is similar to Star Wars(I mean hey I am as big a star wars fan as the next scifi crazed kid)you have to look at how the book was written. Even if you are not older than 15 I bet when you do get older you couldn't even write a draft to one of his books! So get over yourselves! Anyway......I thought this was an exellently written book. I don't think it will become more popular than Harry Potter but I do think it will definetly go up in the lists. It was very vivid in descriptions. At some points you were about to well up in a rage of tears at others you were jumping up and down very excited, at others you were ahhhing at the amazing love scenes, sometimes you got mad at Paolini for killing certain people.............but all in all it was amazing. Read it in 3 hours( I am a book fanatic)read Eldest in 4(busy with soccer that day). All I can say is very impressed. Paolini NEEDS to finish the series.(If you are wondering why I gave him a 4 yet I am ranting on and on about what a good job he did it is because people are too curtious with their high scores and I do agree with the ones that said it wasn't entirly perfect) :3
