Some spoilers, nothing too crazy.
The first book obviously borrows heavily from Lord of the Rings and Star Wars, but I mean he was a 15 year old author. And it’s honestly not bad, just a little goofy at times.
Eldest is a HUGE step up, really an awesome book. The concept of magic is better explored and explained, and the arc of the family back home is amazing. I think it’s the best of the whole series.
Brisingr was fine, but the concept of Eldunari seemed kind of stupid to me. Like, why do only dragons have these special rocks? It’s just an arbitrary way he devised to harness a dragon’s power. There’s no reason their bodies should have that, no real adaptive advantage. And the ongoing drama with Arya not going much of anywhere is disappointing and weakens things. Yes, we all suffer disappointment, Chris, but this very public expression of sexual frustration is embarrassing. It just seems manufactured? Like he gives reasons, but they seem totally surmountable. The real issue just seems like an anxious-avoidant dynamic/mismatch. I do enjoy that he drops a marriage-is-only-temporary, polyamory thing about the elves. Hilarious 
The final book wasn’t as memorable to me, since it came out later, and I was largely over the craze. But I read it. I recall really liking the character of Galbatorix, a suave charming fellow who’s just kind of a control freak, sort of like the emperor in Dune was supposed to be in Jodorowsky’s never-made adaptation, portrayed by a manic Salvador Dali, if you can imagine it. In some fucked up way he believes he’s doing the right thing, but he became so untouchable that he’s completely lost touch. The way Eragon devises to defeat him in the end is clever and befitting.
Overall good. Maybe not as classic or original as some other high fantasy, but then again better than most of the genre
I would like this.  Great concepts that were terribly executed should be remade to get the execution better. >

Please give me eragon that is actually similar to the book. >

Eragon is the very first thing I thought of! They did him dirty. >

Yah they fucked that up so bad that I almost walked out of the theater and i was just a kid then. Read the entire series (the last book wasn't finished yet) and was all hyped up over a pile of shit. By far the most dissapointed I had ever felt over any movie, book or game to this day. Wonder how Christopher Paolini felt after that shitshow. Some of the scenes were so fucking terrible that people in the theater were fucking  laughing at it. >

I never finished reading the series. Was it good?
