Highly recommended to anyone that enjoyed the first book in the series, "Eragon". A wonderful continuation of the legend of Eragon and Saphira.
A fine read... It had its ups and downs. However the climatic sequence was compelling enough, and quick paced to finish with a positive. Paolini needs to do better while framing a twist at the end, too obvious.
In April 2007, I listened to an audio version of this book. It was the unabridged audio. I have a long commute, and since I was not a huge fan of Eragon, felt time was better spent listening to the book and reading other books I would like better.
Eldest was an improvement over Eragon, although, again, Paolini's plot and twists are transparent.
