Book Review: Eragon by Christopher Paolini

Wednesday April 28, 2004
When Eragon finds a polished blue stone in the forest, he thinks it is the lucky discovery of a poor farm boy; perhaps it will buy his family meat for the winter. But when the stone brings a dragon hatchling, Eragon's simple life is shattered, and he is thrust into a perilous new world of destiny, magic, and power.

So begins Book 1 of Christopher Paolini's Inheritance Trilogy.

Read Chris Lawrence's review of Eragon by Christopher Paolini.
