Readable but slow - By: A. Davies, 02 Jan 2009 
Okay, so I bought this after enjoying Eragon & this is enjoyable to some degree, but I found the pace of the plot a little slow, I was even flicking a few pages ahead to see how much I had left to read on some chapters.
However, I still admire the way Christopher Paolini has created a detailed world & the fact that we learn more about Arya & the elves. But the book becomes somewhat of a chore to read after a while & some of the 'revelations'in the story are a little predictable.
Paolini is still heavily influenced by Lord of the Rings & Star Warsin this book, yet there is something about the story that makes the reader want to read on.
Fun to read - By: Ms. Z. Cotton, 22 Dec 2008 
After reading Eragon I had to get the second instalment & found the book more intresting than the first, Mostly due to the other characters the book followed like Rohan. Eragon's story was slow & without cutting away from dull training sessionsto the excitment going on else where I would had been force to put the book down, luckly Rohans character came along & hooked me enough to continue on. I give the book 3 stars as it was good but not great

Long, slightly dragging book (lots of pages) however the story line is fab, adventure style with a bit of romance on the side. A throughly great book to read with Eragon as the main character. If you've watched the film, let me tell you the film does not give justice to this book.
Read it, you are missing out!
Very good read! - By: B. Scott, 21 Sep 2008 this book is an excellent read I enjoyed it immensely!
the part were he visited the elves was a bit boring but the battle afterwards made up of it. Very interesting plot line but when he tries to romance with Ayra you just want to smash your head into a wall yelling "shut up you stupid person!" Its embarrassing. his training is good reading but he really mucks up his relationship with Ayra. appart from that bit the plot has many interesting twists & turns & it makes up for a lot.
allin all a brilliant read!
all i can say is wow! - By: A. D. Wheatley, 27 Aug 2008 
after reading eragon i thought i might as well read the next one, half way through the book i'm getting bored & thinking "this isn't as good as eragon", then a bit furtherin & i was totally addicted, how could i think it wasn't as good! with all the twists & turnsin it. And such a superb ending, i want more-guess i'll have to wait for Brisingr to come out!
