Eragon

Eragon
by Nathan

The book I read was Eragon by Christopher Paolini.  All four books in the series have come out. The movie came out in 2006.

The main characters are Eragon,  King Galbatorix, Durza, the shade, Solembum, a werecat, Brom, Murtagh,  Ajihad, Arya an elf, Saphira, Orik, and The Twins. Eragon finds a Dragon egg and tries to get rid of it but instead it hatches and they bond together. He names her Saphira after a dragon he heard about from Brom. Eragon, Saphira and Brom escaped after the Ra’zac attacked to get the egg. This starts of a amazing adventure where the three cross the whole map and eventually reach the Beor mountains on the other side of the map. Along the way they get are wanted by the Empire ruled by the Evil King Galbatorix, Brom dies, Murtagh joins them, and Eragon gets captured. If you want to know the rest you should read the book.

In this action/adventure there is violence, evil, dragons. Elves, Dwarfs, battle, and magic. This book has action because there is a lot of battles but most of them are short. There is Adventure because Eragon rides his dragon a lot and travels all over the place and gets to have the adventure of a extended life time. Anyone who rides a dragon gets a longer life.

The dialect in this book is not old fashioned nor futuristic, but the dialect is the same dialect as you and I speak. The vocabulary was just names because who names someone Galbatorix? How about Durza, Solembum, Arya, or evan Brom.

There are flashbacks and plot twists in this book. An example of a flashback was when Eragon remembered the Dragon Riders. An example of a plot twist was when the Ra’zac sneak attacked Eragon in Dras Leona.

I would really recommend this book to you if you like action, magic and adventure. The plot twists were spaced evenly throughout the book which made the book more interesting because it kept me wanting to read more. Eragon had plenty of action to keep the book suspenseful.  Also It was cool because in order to summon magic they had to speak this ancient language.
