Book Report Continued. (no.3)

Here I will talk about the author of Eragon, the publishing details and why I liked the novel

The author of Eragon as you know is Christopher Paolini. I will talk about what I know about him from the limited resources that I currently have access to. Please don't quote me on what I'm about to say before I can do further research! :P

Christopher Paolini has now become an established author of primarily fantasy books. He has a distinct writing style: creative, informative and interesting. At some points in Eragon I thought that the novel was about to slow down from its fast and effective pace. However, to my delight, the author always managed to entwine the important-informative parts of the novel with action. For example, the character Brom was discussing the Varden with Eragon when they had stopped for the night, only then they are suddenly ambushed by a group of ferocious hostiles.

This element of surprise at every turn was also another reason why I liked it so much. I just couldn't put the book down. I look forward to reading more of Christopher Paolini in the future.

Eragon was first published in Britain b Doubleday-an imprint of Random House Children's Books.

I liked this novel because of its fast, action packed pace. Along with very creative original ideas, such as the when someone uses magic it drains their strength. Also, at some awkward moments, a pinch of humour was added which often broke the ice. Others that have read this novel disagree with the pace, but I think that I enjoyed it because I'm a competent reader. A certain Carl Dorsch often comments on my fast reading pace!
