Summary:
A teenage country boy, Eragon, one day finds a large egg in the woods. He brings it home and it hatches into a dragon. In Eragons land, dragon riders, used to be the elite military group until they were all killed of by their king. Eragon then becomes a rider and goes on to have many dangerous missions to free the world of their evil king. The book does not come to a conclusion at the end because it is part of a three novel series.
Review:
This novel was very fast pace. It never got boring and there was not one chapter that did not have something important in it. This novel is told by the first person, all narration done by Eragon. The style of the story was a mixture between simple sentences and complex ones.
Quote:
"Many people have died for their beliefs. The real courage is living and suffering for what you believe."This quote has a strong meaning. Many people have given their life for what they believe in, in wars, civil rights, equality. But the agony people go through to try and make what they believe in come true is the real fight.
