Eragon
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.

I liked it. I understand that many of the characters have been written about before in other books. I also think that people seem to complain about the writing more just because he is a teenager. Tell me how many people could have written this book? Give him a break.
If you just enjoy the story for what it is worth, then you will like it...

Well written fantasy
rating: 3
Paolini has a fabulous story in the Inheritance series, and Eragon is largely devoted to setting up questions that are to follow the reader through the later books. While Eragon does drag in a few places, I liked it well enough to read the later books, and this is an excellent series. If you enjoy fantasy like Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, or Harry Potter, these books will be right up your alley.

A wonderful book to hear
rating: 5
I enjoyed listening to this book as I worked. The writing is descriptive and allows you to lose yourself in the story. After watching the movie, I recommend listening to these unabridged cds. The reader has a wonderful, clear voice that gives life to all the books characters.

entertaining
rating: 3
It is a good book to sit down and read as a family. My 6 year old boy got a little bored if we read it for longer than 15 min. But my 8 year old girl didn't want me to stop.

One of the Best Reads Since Dracula
rating: 5
I was recommended this book by a friend who had read it. I saw the movie first (I don't recommend that one) and wanted to know what the story was really like. I bought this one and consumed it in five days. My imagination was going wild as I read this, fueled by Paolini's vivid descriptions.
About a year ago, I read Dracula, and since then I haven't read a book that had me as gripped as this one did. I definitely recommend this one to all.
