How about...

Arya kissed Eragon and they made a baby.

See, he's so immature he's probably never had sex ed...

Woh Thunderdude, way to kill the effort people made to protect the spoiler....


And Blink I don't know where this accusation of immaturity comes from. Yes he's a bad, plagiarising, writer, but I can't really see how that stems from immaturity. If you're going to slander, do it with a sense of proffessionalism :P.

Well, only immature writers take ideas from other people, claim it as their own and think they are some wonderful novelist :D

I don't think he did on purpose exactly. I bet he subconsciously wrote his books similar to other plot (and such) ideas. I've known it to happen before.

To be fair, Firestar's probably right. I doubt he consciously thought, "Muhahaha, I'm going to steal these writers' ideas and become famous!"

I mean, original ideas are very hard to come by. Supposedly there was a book written in like the 1900s that is almost identical to "Harry Potter."

Ye I agree, the plot is easy to do, but the fact that he denies any form of relation to other stories just annoys me :)

the books bore me. and the moment i started reading eragon, thoughts of star wars came to my mind and then i went and watched hayden christenson.

sure ill see if i have time to read the next book... but come on, its going to be poorly written, unoriginal, and as long as can be possible for a published book

makes you think... WHY do authors get published and yet better ones get passed over?

Paolini got his self-published. His parents, in actual fact. A publisher then took him after not liking the books, but seeing the amount of money it brought it in.

Well, at least those elves will get proven wrong...

Oh, by the way the phrase "Galbatorix kicked Vrael in the fork of his legs" never fails to crack me up.

If you feel the need to add onto your previous comments, please edit your previous post. It's cleaner that way. ^_^

That was actually in the book? :lol: Are you being serious? That's a bit much, even for Paolini. XD

That...makes me sick. Really sick.

Ok, sure, The Inherintance series is popular and gets kids to read. I applaud that. And yes, I will probably read the last book, and yes, I will probably hate it like all the others. A God? I seriously doubt Paolini can pull that off...oh well, some things never change.

Yeah, seriously. Well, anything to make more money, I guess.

Money is God, you know. At least Paolini is familiar with that fact.

Eragon is good - as a story for kids, or teens that need a new Lord of the Rings or Star Wars.

I read like a vicious animal, so it's not exactly my favorite. I probably won't actually read Brisingr until the fourth novel comes out. Heh.
