A moment spent alone doing something that I enjoyed
For my 14th birthday(just a few days ago)I got the book Eragon and Elders it is a two in one book. After a substantial amount of pestering my parents finally agreed to buy me the book. I was ecstatic when I received the book as frequent visits to the school library did not yield any results what so ever. Ever since, i have been reading this book.
The book was beautifully designed with two dragons on the front page one sapphire blue the other bold red. The book is written by Christopher Paolini, the books are part of a series called The Inheritance Cycle. The book has been described as and i quote "A breathtaking and unheard-of-success" "An irresistible premise" and so on.
The book is about a boy named Eragon he leads a normal life as a farm boy that is until he finds an unusually smooth blue stone in the forest near where he lives. He brings it home thinking that it would buy him and his family food for the winter instead he receives a dragon. He realises he has stumbled upon a legacy as old as the empire itself, the legacy of the dragon riders. Now he must fight to save his world from a king whose evil knows no bounds.
Currently, I have read up to page two hundred and forty six. It has brought me on a journey filled with non-stop action. Overall, I feel that this is a wonderful book, i would recommend it to my friends and if you are bored or have any free time, I suggest you read this book. (Warning: this is not a book for novice readers)
