Eragon - Christopher Paolini

I enjoyed Eragon, but I honestly can't explain why. It didn't blow me away, but it kept me reading, and I will read the other books in this series....just not immediately.

I think I enjoyed the journey: a boy with nothing but everything, a found magical egg, a dragon, hope, magic, growth, tragedy, comrades and enemies - all symbols any reader can relate to - the fantasy delivery just makes it more creative.

I was surprised by the amount of violence...in parts. I think it gave the book more cred, though, and I loved the connection between Eragon and Saphira (the dragon) - the friendship and the actual mind to mind telepathy.

Now talking about it, I kinda miss this book.
