Has anybody read To Sleep in a Sea of Stars ? I'm about 80 pages in and, while the story is interesting, I find the writing kind of clunky -- especially the "romantic" bits. I am wondering if it is worth the candle or should I move on to the next book on the stack?

Releasing soon... Aug 23, 2005. While getting my copy of Harry Potter, I was given a coupon announcing the release of Paolini's second book, Eldest. Here's a link that has an excerpt and more info. http://www.alagaesia.com/eldest.htm
