| Has anyone been reading the Inheritance Series? (Eragon and Eldest) I've read both and I'm looking forward to the finally to complete the trilogy.. but the movie mad me angry because they messed everything up, I understand its hard to make a Book into a movie because of the information difference, but they could have done better I think, with the stuff that they left out I'm not sure how they are going to be able to make the second movie. |

I read Eragon and found it to be in DIRE need of an editor. A passable story idea but painfully glommed together plot concepts/characters/etc from LOTR and Star Wars without adding anything new to the scene and so prone to breaking writing rules in a way that only proves why they should be rules in the first place that I'm not going to read #2. I wanted to like the book as the author was a homeschooler (and we homeschool) but I think his publisher (after it got picked up by a publisher) did Paoilini and his audience a great disservice by not giving him a hard editor to clean things up. _________________
