I know that some people don’t like the Eragon books, but my siblings and I love them. We’ve been fans since one of my Dad’s best friends gave us Eragon about 6 years ago, and we eagerly awaited the other three. There was a lot of groaning about the fact that Christopher Paolini took three years to write Inheritance. 😀 My siblings and I are constantly playing games that involve the Eragon books. I’ve been cast as Arya many times, and had lots of fun in that role. 🙂 We’re currently naming places around our new property, and the boys are trying to name something, anything, Tronjheim or Ellesmera. Or really, any name that is from these books.
Inheritance Cycle (Paperback)
Eragon, Eldest, and Brisingr (Kindle)
Inheritance (Kindle)
Colter and I have had many debates with our cousin as to whether or not Christopher Paolini could write more Eragon books. Trevor doesn’t think so, and Colter and I think he could. What do you think?
Have you read any of these? What did you think of them?

Was scrolling through the A to Z list and your blog name caught my eye. Weirdly when I was round my Uncle and Auntie’s house last night they had Eragon on in the background and I realised I’ve never seen it – never read the books either. I’ll look out for them now.
Hope you are enjoying the challenge.

I’m glad it did! I checked out your blog – pretty cool! 🙂
The movie is nothing like the books. But it’s not too bad, if you’re not comparing it to the books. The books are good, in my opinion. Like everything else it has its haters.
I am! Are you enjoying it?

Thanks for the blog compliment Brett – very kind.
The movie/book thing is funny isn’t it – I tend to buy into a world and want to visit it in many forms – I used to get a bit stroppy with films when they didn’t live up to the book (only occasionally the other way round) but I am relaxing now and learning to see them as different entities that can’t be identical.
I am enjoying the challenge – been a bit slack today though – only snuck my last post in just before midnight!!
Brett Jonas says:
I try to see them as separate things. It’s hard sometimes – especially if they changed something like a main character’s hair color.
I’m scheduling my post for the next day every day. It’s the only way I can stay on top of postong something every day.
Sorry I didn’t reply earlier – I thought I had, but I guess WordPress went wonky on me. 🙂
