- A great read for all ages, both for young adults, teens and even those who love a fantasy story here and there. Christopher Paolini, develops his characters for his first installement with such fine detail that you can visualize their exact details without the aid of a movie development. Paolini allows the reader, to step into his world with every word drawing you further and further into the world that is Alegaesia. We see how an ordinary reality can be changed so suddenly.. Each chapter has its own unique twists and Paolini has created a book that leaves you wanting more with every page. Would recommend this novel to anyone who is into a story that has all sorts, that fantasy allows writers to develop such as; Elves, Dragons, Dwarfs and much more!

This was a good story full of adventure in a world where good battles evil. I always like stories where the underdog sticks it to the bullies of this world. The characters were interesting and believable. The plot wasn't predictable so I always wanted to keep turning the page.
