Eragon is the first of four books which make up the Inheritance Cycle. The second book is titled Eldest, the third is titled Brisingr, and the fourth has yet to be released.
In my opinion Eragon is one of the greatest books that I have ever read. Any person that likes adventure, magic, sword fights, battles, or magical creatures will enjoy this novel. It has a great story line and yet it does not really incorporate the vast amount of descriptive text that is seen in the Lord of the Rings series. What makes the story even better is that there is always a new element or mystery being developed that really keeps a reader interested. I would recommend Eragon to anyone who enjoys sword and sorcery stories. Eragon is also good for younger children as there is no foul language and it is really just a lot of fun.
For those of you who don't know the story here is a quick introduction to the book:
Eragon is about a young boy named well.. Eragon. He has grown up living in a peaceful valley living off the land, hunting in the mountains, and farming with his family. He has been raiser by his Grandfather and his cousin Roran is like his brother. Then one day while in the mountains he discovers a magic stone which turns out to be a dragon egg. After the dragon hatches Eragon becomes linked with the dragon which starts him down the path of a dragon rider. He soon leaves his home to protect his family and take revenge for the loved one he loses. Eragon soon takes on a teacher who shows him how to fight, use magic, and helps protect him. Eragon's also soon finds himself caught in a war with no escape as it mainly revolves around him. Battles, adventures, friends, enemies, mysteries, an epic romance, death, and bad fortune are all in store for Eragon and the people around him as his destiny begins to unfold.
