    Very Tolkien'ish but not as "heavy". I would just like to say I was VERY impressed that Paolini started writing Eragon when he was around 15 years old...that is one reason I wanted to read it...to see what this kid had written.

Now in paperback! Fifteen-year-old Eragon believes that he is merely a poor farm boy—until his destiny as a Dragon Rider is revealed. Gifted with only an ancient sword, a loyal dragon, and sage advice from an old storyteller, Eragon is soon swept into a dangerous tapestry of magic, glory, and power. Now his choices could save—or destroy—the Empire.
