• Review:
  It was a real good book and I can hardly believe that was written by a fifteen year old. I loved to listen to the very exciting book and follow the fortune of the Dragon Rider and his dragon, when my boyfriend read it to me. I have been deep inside the story and could really feel how it was for Eragon and his friends. I liked it very much to follow his development and accompany him on his path to become a real Dragon Rider.  I liked the characters, whom Eragon meets on his way. I like, Saphira most, but also  Brom, Murtagh, Arya and Solembum. They bring friendship, love and some funny moments into the story. I can recommend this book to all people, who love fantasy with dragons,  Elves and much of magic. It is a wonderfull book and I am happy to have started with the next part of the series directly when we  finished this book.
