Eragon free read online series#
P.S.-As for "having a limited experience with literature" I read the Anne of Green Gables series when I was seven and was reading several works of Dickens, To Kill A Mockingbird, and The Diary of Anne Frank when I was ten. Seriously, to really hate this series you must either not like traditional fantasy at all, or not have very good intuition to see all the questions and points, Paolini weaves through his writing. And personally, I think Paolini pulled "I am your father" play to make it more believable and accepted by the audience, so the twist that finally comes would be more of a shocker. The only part that is reminiscent of star wars is where Eragon is told part of his family tree. I don't think anyone would complain that a sci-fi book was horrible because it had the "stereotypical" aliens in it.Īlso other people have compared it to star wars for some reason, but that argument breaks down once you try to compare some of the characters, or predict one or other of the plot lines from how it turned out in the other one. I like elves, dwarves, and dragons, and I don't think there are enough fantasy books written that include them. The book has "stereotypical fantasy characters" in that it has elves, dwarves, and dragons. And maybe some are just a little jealous that a 16 year old can write better than they will ever be able to.

I have read countless posts on how horrible it was, but most of the time there is no concrete reason given. I have read countless posts on how horrib …more I am actually really glad you asked this question Damian, because it is one I have wondered for a long time.
