It involves a complicated ritual. First I perform the ceromonial cursing (literally, I just get very vulgar). Second I make the journey from the recliner to the kitchen. Next I perform the secret stomp on the bottom of the trash can, which magically opens the top. Last I cast down the bad book into the smelly depths.

Then I go re-read something that doesn't suck to get the taste out of my mouth.
 
Very nice. You know my friends dad after he read LOTR jumped on it because it "Drags on and on."

It does drag on and on, a lot. There are parts of the trilogy you get the urge to just scream at the book, "GET ON WITH IT."

But then, the excessive world building is what most fans love. I love robust characterization paired with a fast plot through a world that is built up as much as it is needed to be. LOTR is still ranked way up there as far as my favorite series, but it does drag.
 
I just found out that the language written in Eragon/Eldest/Empire(??) is not one he made up..but irish gaelic..what a con man
 
I liked Eragon, thought it was an enjoyable YA book. Didn't care as much for Eldest though. And the movie Eragon....horrible.
 
Irish gaelic... I take offence that some dweeb cant even come up with his own language. It is so simple.
 
:O ok i am disappointed that he never made up the language... I was sure he said somewhere that him and his sister, Angela, made up the language... *quickly peruses Paolini's website Eragon, Book One of the Inheritance Trilogy, by Christopher Paolini ...*

"I’ve always been fascinated with the sources of most modern fantasy that lie in Teutonic, Scandinavian, and Old Norse history. This is disregarding a large chunk of writing devoted to the myths from the British Isles. Because of this, I used Old Norse as the basis for my Elven language in Eragon, as well as many names. All the Dwarf and Urgal words, however, are of my own invention."

eeee the cheek!

... i still think it's a good book though, so i will reread it again and again and enjoy it :) :p
 
I must agree that they sold the "kid" before the storyline and writing. I'm surprised that it caught on like it did. But I'm totally shocked about the movie rights being sold so soon after. The rush job shows in the movie version especially.

Tri
 
I agree with Marvolo that Faery Queen scores, but dont I get anything for calling that dweeb a dweeb?
 
nah sorry..we all know he's a dweeb..so you were stating the obvious..he a Cucking Funt that guy
 
Nice letter rearange there. Cucking Funt. I might use that now...
 
despite all his failing i still wanna read Empire,
[am calling it that as we basically know its gonna be that anyway, he dont wanna break with the 6-letter starting with E words does he]

i cant wait for arya to get the last egg [bloody obvious to all] and to change murtagh back to good side [see aforementioned [] thing]
