I am in love with Eragon.  Eragon is a farm boy who discovers a dragon egg and with much hard work becomes one of the legendary Dragon Riders.  The book is like Harry Potter meets Lord of the Rings.  By that I mean that there’s magic and elves and a young boy who saves the world.  You see, the Dragon Riders used to rule until one of their ranks turned against them and brought them down.  This Dark Dragon rider is now ruling with horror with no one powerful enough to stand against him.  Eragon must find the right friends who can protect and train him as he learns his full potential.

I just finished the book and I am filled with joy right now.  I feel like a proud mama watching her boy grow into a strong, smart, loving man.  I am totally smitten with Eragon.  So far there are three books (Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr) in the series and I have them sitting next to me.  I’ll let you know how they go and if the series ends with the third book or continues.  

I love Paolini’s voice.  His writing was so laid back and comforting to me.  It really spoke to my heart and soul without being overbearing.  I sincerely care about Eragon and his future and his past and his present.  I want him to succeed and I want every detail of how he does it.

I highly recommend this book.  Please check it out.
