What I found even more amazing was the age of the Author. Here he is writing novels while I'm still trying to figure out if the 'i' should be before or after the 'e'! Oh well, thank God for spell check.

It is amazing though isn't it, I mean 19! and writing as he does. I think it is a bit more original than you portray it to be, Few protagonist are as eragant or as rude to a dragon as Eragon. Nor do I think that other books quite show the relationship between the dragon and the rider as well. The dragons in this as few as they are do play a large part but they are few and the humaniods are many. also the dragons are smaller than the gigantic monsters they are seen as in other novels and games.
