A great read for the summer. Beautiful and memorable scenery in the elven forests and battle ground. Dragons and blood are inseparable pieces in reads like this one. Eragon is now older and understands more about the real cruel world, yet a bit hot-headed. The story is not as great as the first book. Fresh material needed please.

I have never finished this book. I've picked it up like 4 different times, and never finished it. I love fantasy, but this was too all over the place, too many pages that had 'down-time'. Too many characters, not enough events to tie them together.

I liked this one even better than the first in the series. Paolini makes it pretty easy to forget you're reading a Young Adult novel most of the time. Can't wait to begin the last book.

Oh and the pronunciation/translation guid ... (continue)

When I finished Eragon I moved right on to Eldest and it was the same, I could not put it down. You find as you read not only is Eragon's life followed but also people close to him and you end up getting wrapped up in their stories as much as you do his own. Oh and the pronunciation/translation guide in the back of the book is very handy…I had to flip back to it a few times because I just HAD to know what something meant. :P
If you like fantasy/sci-fi type books this will probably be right up your alley.

Not as good as the first one, some part of it was so boring I skipped through it. The end was quite exciting though.
