  • Eragon

    Nella notte silenziosa si ode soltanto il rumore degli zoccoli sul sentiero. I tre cavalieri spingono al galoppo i loro destrieri presagendo il pericolo… ma è troppo tardi: l’imboscata è pronta, e la trappola scatta. Solo un’elfa sfugge, e nel tempo ... (read full critics)

    Amazing book that's worth an honourable mention. Lot of the storyline material are similar to what is called the LOTR stlye... with a map guide and a tale of exciting adventure. A bit cliche yet unique enough to be praised. About a boy who was chosen by a dragon egg. Saphira(the female dragon) and Eragon are inseparable in their quest. Beautiful and bold. Violence and blood. Poalini is definitely a skilled storyteller who understands how to grasp the reader's lust for edgy middle-earthy fiction.

    A first class adventure novel. Don't bother with the movie, though. whoever was responsible for that farcical reproduction should be ashamed of themselves.

    I would give this book 4.5 stars if it were an option. Overall, it was very well done and I was eager to finish it. The often convoluted laws of magic and the melancholy ending were my only small dislikes. An interview with the author at the end of the book revealed that he has two more novels planned that are related to this series so maybe he'll wrap up a few more loose ends with those stories.
