Review: Eragon by Christopher Paolini

Eragon is the stroy of a boy who finds a mysteryous terquoise stone which soon hatches into a dragon. Later on Eragon discovers that he has been chosen to be the first dragon rider after Galbatorix ( A young rider who destroyed the high society of dragon riders hundreds of years ago) who is now the tyranic ruler of the fictional land of Alagesia. He begins to make his way towards the Varden which is a small group of rebels who have set out to destroy Galbatorix accompanied by Brom, an old man who turns out to be a former dragon rider and his dragon Saphira. Many enimies stand in their way. Urgals, Rasak and Dursa a shade and right hand of Galbatorix. This book contains many details about characters background of the characters that the movie left out. This book is long and hard to consentrate on for the first few chapters but after a while, the book becomes hard to put down.
