I didn't enjoy it at all. I couldn't get past the first few chapters. One of the problems is I kept hearing it compared to Harry Potter in terms of QUALITY, not just volumes sold. Sadly, no, it isn't Harry Potter. J. K. Rowling is lightyears ahead of Paolini.
I put it down and have been a constant detractor of it ever since. I have two friends who enjoyed it. One of them has read Harry Potter and agrees with me on at least that point. The other won't read it because it isn't "mature fantasy."
I'll just let you all laugh with me there.
