I have to addmit the first time that I tried to read the book, I coudn't. I wasn't able to get past the first 20 pages! But i was then forced to read for school and i loved it! I relized how it wassemilar in to Lord of the rings but it wasstilla good read. And to everyone that is spitting on it for it's "copying" maybe you should read Eldest. Before you say things make sure you got your facts right.
