Two of my friends thoroughly enjoyed Eragon, so I would definitely say give it a go before acting so irrationally by GIVING AWAY A BOOK! (Sorry, but that's totally antithetical to my entire being....)

I have to admit that this was one of the things that annoyed me about Paolini. Especially when I subsequently read a novel called 'Waywalkers' by a writer I'd never heard of named
Catherine Webb, who I discovered afterwards was a similar age to Paolini (fourteen when she published her first novel) and who left him for dead in terms of originality and quality. But with none of the press....
