Way better then expected!! I hear so many negative review about this book/series that I gave it a look expecting to be disappointed but I wasn't. Sure it has some flaws (Eragon goes from a nobody to the biggest bad-ass hero in like two weeks...) and Eragon is written way too many time (seriously has someone count... at least 600 times) but it's still fun, entertaining, has good action and rhythm. There is better fantasy series for sure, but there are a lot worst as well. Fun enough to read and a good/easy way to introduce younger reader to fantasy!
