Young Writers Society

And the reason we dislike him so, Elelel, is because his books lack any originality whatsoever, in both plot and world concepts, so much so that they come dangerously close to plagiarism. There are other reasons, but I'm not going to elaborate, as you need only read this thread to see what it is that makes him so... unlikeable. It's not that we simply don't like his books, there are many books we don't like, maybe because of the style they're written, etc. but there are many reasons for our dislike of Eragon and Paolini, which go far beyond the reasons of simply style.

I read all the thread and I knew about all the star wars/LOTR/general fantasy cliches anyway. I watched the Eragon movie laughing the whole way through while running a comentary on all the similarities. *shrugs* I guess i'm just not a hate person. You know, I'm one of those people who go around with ideas of fluffy bunnies and rainbows stuff.

You might not like the books but he did his job. He wrote a book that everyone would remember. I also have a question.

How many of you will read the third book when it is published?

I bet most of you will to see if it is the same as starwars/LOTR and to see how it ends!

Well, I know I won't. Why waste good reading time when you can just look up the plot summary on Wikipedia?

I will!!!

While I didn't care for Eragon and I disliked Eldest, I will read the third book. I can never leave a trilogy at the second book.

I will, same reason as Writers. It's almost *heresy* in my book to read two books in a trilogy and not read the third. Even with Eragon.

Lol, haven't taken a look at this thread for quite a long time. I see that we're on the 'liked/disliked' discussion instead of saying that Paolini was rubbish. Woot.

I just wanted to repeat that while Paolini might not be one of the best writers of the world, some people liked his book. And the term 'some people' is a wide one in this case.

Personally, I do not consider him one of the worst writers in history. Not the best, but not the worst. Quoting Elelel here, I'm not a hate person.

I read teh two books that have been published, and I will read the third one. I look froward to what will happen in it, and I will buy it.

I'll read it, definately!

Even though it's not the best trilogy I've ever read.

I will I like his books and I cant leave a good trilogy like this unread.

Whoops double copy pay no attention to the same thing written twice above

The only thing to fear is fear it self
