Eragon

Eragon is a good book, but not meant for younger children or people who dislike reading. It's difficult and complicated, and there's a lot of words that are very confusing, like the names of people and places. They are all in a different language and are made up. It's also 500 pages long. I would recommend it to people who like Lord of the Rings and other fantasy novels similar to it. It's a wonderful story, full of excitement and action. There's lots of bloodshed and violence too. Basically, it's this fifteen year old guy named Eragon (e.g the title) that finds a beautiful blue stone while hunting deer up in the Spine (a creepy and supposedly magical place in the mountains where no one else dares to go) for his poor family. He tries to sell it, but it turns out it's a dragon egg! Yeah! A dragon egg! One with a very temperamental and snooty dragon hatchling inside! But bad people are looking for the egg, not knowing it's hatched. After his uncle's farm torn to pieces by something, Eragon and his dragon take flight to avenge his families death by killing the evil king that rules Alagaesia. With an old storyteller/ knight/ ninja for company and an ancient yet creepy elf sword that shines red, he's off to kill everybody evil!
Of course, it's much more serious then that if you actually read the book, but that's my interpretation.
