Eragon the Book

Eragon Cover Art

Eragon is the bestselling first book in the Inheritance Cycle, a high fantasy series by Christopher Paolini. It was first published in 2002 and has also been made into a movie of the same name. Eragon is also the name of the main character of the Inheritance Cycle.

The book was first published in 2002 by Paolini International, but it didn’t break through. After having been republished by Alfred A. Knopf in 2003 it became a bestseller with large success worldwide. It is set in the fictional world of Alagaësia, which is a world populated by humans elves, dwarves and dragons - among other races.

Eragon has been criticized for drawing much on earlier literature, but is nevertheless generally considered a great book by a talented young author.

    Yeah probably….I liked both books. Eldest had a bit more interesting things than eldest. But both were great…..Even though ‘ve read them lots of times…I still have this feeling that I don’t know whats going to happen!

    Christopher Paolini should write more books once he has finished Inheritance, but they won’t be as good because you relate to the characters rather than to the style of writing.

    I hope ,CP does make a new series…but if its like a new prophesy thing…and eragon children continue it…like warriors…i’m not gpnna read it. I hate when they do that. Change it and make it do weird. I hope he writes a new book. Like eragon…but different.

    What, adds on MORE to this trilogy (well, now a cycle). Those books are huge, and I love to read them; not saying they’re too long. But do you know how much time and effort it takes to write a huge book like that - well, you do, considering the long waits between each book. And he already has a plot planned - I’d rather have him finish it the way he originally planned rather than go on and make up NEW adventures for Eragon! Oh jolly! That’s when the series loses the spark, if you know what I mean…

    (well… any longer) it’s been three years, I hope he hurries. I hate people
    who only read the books after seeing the movie, it’s wrong, you just can’t get the full effect and really learn about the charcters and such.

    There was no vital error. Its something that they think shouldn’t have happened. I think. Not a real thing. They’re, opinion….but don’t know…since they haevn’t answered us.

    A man walks into a convinient store.
    He points at an item and asks how much it costs.
    “1 dollar a piece.” he says.
    So he buys 3 and leaves with a 100. What is it?
    Clue: it’s not a pack, or in a bunch, it is 3 solid things. k, gl, hf

    ok this one is hard and i dont knw it… =(

    urm the items r like really small and glued together?
    thts my guess but it must be wrong and wat does k,gl,and hf mean?

  25. 25
    Hrothgar Says:

    k means ok gl means good luck hf is have fun. my guess is frogs. you buy 3 then on the way out they lay 100 eggs that hatch into frogs =)

    Mysterious Says:

    hmm u may be right abt the frog theory but doesnt it say tht he LEAVES wid a hundred and i think it was a substance not an animal but hey u may be right

    Dragongirl Says:

    Can it be parts of things? No…he said it was solid. Im going with the frog theory:):):)

  28. 28
    Dragongirl Says:

    Mysterious
    Actually it does say that the LEAVES with a hundred. How can they be solid if they are 1 dollar a PIECE? I still think its puzzle.

    OK! answer is, a really far-fetched one, i had to get back at darth.
    He buys 3 adress blocks.
    [1] [0] [0] 100 is his adress. :D
    here’s another. this won’t be as hard.

    10 is 3, 3 is 5, 5 is 4, and four is the magic number.
    80 is 6, 6 is 3, 3 is 5, 5 is 4, and 4 is the magic number.
    22 is 9, 9 is 4, and 4 it the magic number.
    1 is 3, 3 is 5, 5 is 4, and 4 is the magic number.
    40 is 5, 5 is 4, and 4 is the magic number.

    HOW DO U GET TO 4!
    CLUE: Only math is adding.
    IF you think you know, do 2 sequences that i didn’t do.
