Eragon

One of the first posts I did was The Inheritance Cycle, but I wanted to do the individual books.
Christopher Paolini's first book, which he started when he was 15, made the NewYorkTimes best selling list. The highly anticipated 4th and final book to the series, Inheritance, is due to be released in November. In his style of writing, there are some cliques and it seems like the author was trying to copy J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. But he makes his own plot and slowly it becomes interesting and exciting. But a warning : all his books are 500+ pages. Anyways, here's the plot for his 1st book :

While exploring the forest, 15-year-old Eragon discovers an odd blue gemstone—a dragon egg, fated to hatch in his care.........
Suddenly he is thrust into the ancient legends which is now reality. Dragons, shades, urgals, elves, and other fantastical beings are more real than Eragon could have ever imagined.

If you read the Cycle, I hope you enjoy them, like I did!
