Summary: Eragon a 15 year old boy is hunting in the woods near his farm when suddenly something shoots from the sky. He picks up what fell from the sky and finds out it’s a light blue seamless stone. He returns to his village and tries to sell it to the butcher but he refused to take it because he thinks it’s cursed.

Eragon later finds out that the stone is really an egg and not just any egg a dragon egg! He soon finds out that his uncle will die because of some creatures that are looking for the egg. He then finds himself on this quest to avenge his uncle and to save the land from an evil tyrant.

My thoughts: I really liked this book. I had read it a bit and disliked it but a friend said keep reading so I did. The consequence of that was I stayed up late at night to read the book. It made me feel like I was in the world of Eragon. At some parts it made me feel sad and I just had to put down the book and walk away.

I cannot relate to the character because I have never experienced what he has so I have no way of relating to Eragon. This book can compare to others by having more emotion than others. The writer describe how he felt at certain times in great detail.
