Eragon - Beyond Fantasy and Magic

Iâ??m not that well into reading novels. But that doesnt mean that i havent read any novels. Thanks to the (in)famous Hosur Road for igniting the reading talent in me. Though i have read only a handful of novels, this novel is worth commenting and appreciating.

Its simply - WOW !!!

Christopher Paoliniâ??s Eragon(ISBN 0-375-82668-8) and Saphira are the new heros of the block. Scintillating and magical, i have never been glued to a book for so long that i finished it in record time. Its 4 weeks and that is a personal best for me ;) . Even my friends were amazed that i finished the novel so fast, not to mention iâ??m still stuck up at the 200th page of Bourne Identity for the past say 5 months. That novel is going no where.

Paolini has already come out with the 2nd book of the â??Inheritance Trilogyâ??(as it is called) Eldest(ISBN 0-375-82670-X) and its already a runaway success.

Its a must have book in your shelf if u loved Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkein.

I happened to see the movie Eragon(The Movie), but i would suggest not to go for it. Its no way near even the tail piece of the novel. Though Saphira has been elegantly portrayed in the movie. That gave me a better picture of her.

So just read the novel, enjoy and Let your Swords Stay Sharp.

    i saw eragon, and it was terrible! It was a combination of lord of the rings (which I have never been able to stay awake through), harry potter (which I love) etc. I’ve never read any of these books, but I’ve read book reviews of it before. Perhaps I’ll pick it up once I’m done with my current selections. thanks!

    ya the movie is not that good … But the novel is. The movie just borrowed the plot and the events are nothing as described in the book.
