Eragon

Eragon is the first book in the series and it is written by Christopher Paolini. I think that it is a very difficult book to understand but once you know what is going on, it is very interesting. It is about this boy named Eragon who found a dragon egg and it hatched for him. He named the dragon Saphira but the king is chasing after him and the dragon. Eragon has to run away from the village but he is followed by Brom whom he thought was the village storyteller but in fact works for the Varden. Brom teaches Eragon everything he knows about swordmanship and magic and tried to teach Eragon as much as he knows. When Brom is killed, Eragon is left to look for the Varden with Saphira and Murtaugh. When he arrives at the Varden he is welcomed by some and unwelcomed by some. He meets Ajihad the leader of the Varden and is then taken under the Varden. Everyone stays clear of Eragon and Saphira as they are afraid of them. Soon there is a battle between the Varden and the Urgals. A lot happens during the fight but you have to read the book to find out who wins. This is a good book but it is not that great. Harry Potter, House of Night and Twilight series beat this series by a mile. I recommend this book to people who do not mind reading it a few times as it takes a while to understand the story. It has a very interesting storyline and plot but it is not the best I have read. So far, my favourite series is still the Twilight series.
