When Eragon finds a polished 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 soon realizes he has stumbled upon a legacy nearly as old as the Empire itself. Overnight his simple life is shattered.

I liked this book because it had dragons in it. I also enjoyed the detailed world it is set in

It is an adventure story about a friendship between a boy and a dragon. I Didn't give it five stars because it was slightly too gory.

This is the first book from the Inheritance Cycle, filled with many twists and intricate plots. This is an amazing book with a newborn dragon called Saphira, who is hatched to Eragon, a simple farmer living with his Uncle Garrow. Eragon gets a shiny hand and to a disadvantage running away from trouble from Galbatorix with Brom the story teller from the village. Meanwhile Roran, Eragon's cousin, is weeping for Katrina as the Ra'zac pass through looking for Eragon and Saphira. My favourtie character is Saphira as she has a good sense of humour.

It's great! It's one of the best books I've read, the author (Christopher Paolini) first started writing it when they were 15 which to me makes it even more amazing.

I really liked the book because it was very engrossing and made me feel like I was there with the characters. My favourite character was Brom because he was so wise.

It is a wonderful to read and I really like how Eragon ended up with Saphira, a baby blue dragon. I like Saphira the best, because she grows up to be a amazing dragon. I would recommend this book for book lovers.

Eragon is a wonderful book full of dragons and danger. When a young boy discovers an egg, he unlocks the beginning of his own fate. He unlocks an adventure that will rule his life.

I want to complain that I can't give this book a rating of 6! This is the best book I've ever read. !!! The suspense in the story made me shiver. Parts of it were sad and gruesome. And parts were happy and funny. My favourite character was Saphira, a midnight blue dragon. My favourite race of creatures were the dwarves, then the dragons, followed by the elves. I think it is amazing that the writer was only 16 when he wrote this book. Paolini is a genius!!! I recommend this book to everyone who loves to read.

it was amazing. Eragon was my favourite character because he was mysterious. It interested me because the writing was descriptive and it helped me imagine the scenes. I would definitely recommend this book.
