 Very good read! September 21, 2008
B. Scott
this book is an excellent read I enjoyed it immensely!
the part were he visited the elves was a bit boring but the battle afterwards made up of it. Very interesting plot line but when he tries to romance with Ayra you just want to smash your head into a wall yelling "shut up you stupid person!" Its embarrassing. his training is good reading but he really mucks up his relationship with Ayra. appart from that bit the plot has many interesting twists and turns and it makes up for a lot.
all in all a brilliant read!
 all i can say is wow! August 27, 2008

after reading eragon i thought i might as well read the next one, half way through the book i'm getting bored and thinking "this isn't as good as eragon", then a bit further in and i was totally addicted, how could i think it wasn't as good! with all the twists and turns in it. And such a superb ending, i want more-guess i'll have to wait for Brisingr to come out!
 Falls short against its predecessor Eragon. June 27, 2008

As many of the reviews here have already described the plot of Eldest, I'll leave this detail out and skip straight to my opinion of it.
Whereas Eragon was a badly written story with a good plot, Eldest is the exact opposite. Paolini has matured since his first book and the darker, well written passages of Eldest reflect this. However, I found Eragon's story to be second rate to Roran's adventures, which was the only incentive for me to continue reading the book. Generally, the whole pace of Eldest is slower than that of the first book and predictable in parts. The last third of the book picks up with some significant findings and events; however, the editors would have done well to trim the whole book down slightly instead of sending me to sleep with long, uneventful chapters. Overall I gave the book three stars as it showed some promise towards the end and left me mildly curious about the last book in the trilogy.
Older but not greater June 1, 2008

Without the interest created by the concept of the Rider & introduction of the characters, this book lacked something compared to Eragon. At many times, the writing wasn't strong enough to maximise the potential of the ideas. As a result, the narrative often seems to awkwardly move the plot on, rather than weave a tale. Having said that, I still followed the journey & look forward to reading the final episode.
not as good as the first, but still captivating April 25, 2008

I've just reread both books for the 3rd time. I still find Eragon an easier read. Not just because its shorter etc. It might be a slow starter but about 70 pages in it gets fast paced. In eldest you get thrown into the action straight away. I like the training bit. It adds a 'realism' to the story in how eragon still has a long way to go if he is able to defeat Galbatorix. But there are chapters which seem unnessicary or longwinded ( the journey to ellesmara (the land of the elves) took about 80 pages) but I still find myself gripped. An engaging read, but eragon is still my favourite.
It could change when Brisingr comes out.
September 20th - can't wait
