Eragon

Christopher Paolini

*****

Recently, I've finished a book called Eragon by Christopher Paolini. A lot of my friends recommended it including Neil, Brandon, and Young Woo, and this book was in the recommended book list. Christopher Paolini wrote this book at the age of 15, and he became a professional writer in high school. This was his debut book and it was pretty good. This book is over a 700 pages so it took me a long~~~ time to read this.

This book is about a 15 year old boy named Eragon. One day, he found a dragon egg in a place called Spine. When a dragon hatched from it, he named it Saphira and it became bigger and bigger every day. He lived with his uncle Garrow and his brother Roran at the age of 17. The evil guy, Galbatorix kills Garrow and his brother Roran left his hometown to marry a girl. Eragon was left alone. As days pass, he becomes friends with a man called Brom, and they take adventures with Saphira. They went to a lot of places like Daret, Therinsford, Yazuac, and lots more. When Brom dies because of the Ra'zac, he meets a guy called Murtagh, who was similar to Brom. He also takes adventure with him and these adventure happen all the way through the book.

My favourite part of this book was when he fights all the bad guys such as the Urgals and Ra'zacs. Eragon learned magic from Brom and he uses these magic to the monsters but the magic is very dangerous so Eragon almost died a lot of times. He killed some Urgals, but the Ra'zacs were pretty strong. They were the one who killed Brom, who was like Eragon's father. Later on in the story, Eragon, Saphira and Murtagh meets the upgrade of the Urgals, the Kull. They are over 8 feet tall and very fat. They win in the fight, though. I really liked the part when Eragon fought all those monsters. My another favourite part of this story was when Eragon sparres with his masters, Brom and Murtagh. Brom was pretty easy to spar so Eragon kind of won, but Murtagh wasn't easy. For both Eragon and Murtagh, they couldn't have an adventage and they both said that they haven't sparred someone stronger than them.

I would give this book 5/5 stars. I would recommend this book to everyone of my friends.
