I had a wonderful time reading books 2 and 3 of the Inheritance Cycle. Book 2 (Eldest) talks more about Eragon moving on and accepting his role as a Dragon Rider and getting his training with the Elves. I will not elaborate further as there are some surprises and unexpected twists in it. Book 3 (Brisingr) exposes more on his responsibility and also touches more on his cousin Roran and their quest to fight Galbatorix (the main baddie). They need to defeat him, save the dragon egg(s) that he stole and set the whole Kingdom of Alagaesia free :) Excellent books and I absolutely love the way he writes! Paolini's description of the dragons are...... wow :) The way he infuses character into them is amazing. I really want a dragon right now! :D Book 4 - Inheritance; the final book of the cycle will be coming out in November 2011 and I absolutely cannot wait!! More information: Alagaesia

I read Eragon written by the Christopher Paolini. It's AMAZING! I couldn't put it down. It tells of a tale of a boy named Eragon who finds a 'magical stone' by accident. So happens that it's a dragon egg. Out hatches beautiful Saphira. The books talks about his journey from his life being completely changed from being a regular farm boy into..a dragon rider. He had to leave his life as he knew it and move on to a huge responsibility. He goes on to meet Elves and Dwarves along his journey. It is beautifully written and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to be taken off into a faraway land. :) I'm almost done with Book 2 - Eldest and my cousin has already lent me book 3! yay :) I watched the movie a couple of years back but I cannot recall anything about it - only that it was really good.. Have a great July!
