Eragon is a fantastic book, written by a 15 year old genius, Christopher Paolini. If you know the Wheel of Time series and Dune you know that Christopher borrowed a lot from them (and of course Robert Jordan borrowed a lot from Frank Herbert, so that is not really a point). While the events sometimes seem “scripted” (what you expect to happen happens) it’s still a fantastic novel, without all the woman-man discussions of Wheel of Time, and it also comes much faster to an end
The audiobook is read by Gerard Doyle, who makes this excellent story even more shining. He gives his best to mimick the different tongues of all the characters. This would probably fun even with a lousy story …
So I encourage you to click through and download it! It’s unabridged of course, I wouldn’t bother you with anything else.

That was a really good book. Doesn’t seem like anything a 15 year old would be capable of writing.

Downloaded the book the other night, and enjoyed it. I love Wheel of Time, so that probably kick started my interest in the story.
