I was a really big fan of Eragon when it first came out and I can still (sort of) enjoy it. Although the last time I read it, I ended up writing all over it little editorial comments. I did and do like the fantasy world that Paolini introduces. Granted it's a fairly generic world, but it's presented consistently and vividly and that's one of my favorite things (besides dragons!).

I believe that there is nothing really wrong with this book, and it successfully carries on the plot of the Inheritance cycle. As far as fantasy goes, it is a good read, and the language is not difficult to follow. If you don't mind the main character and you are a fan of dragons, you'll love it.
