it was amazing
bookshelves: br, recs-by-anish, 2017, desperado, fantasy, favorites, hero, killer

A wonderful rec from my GR friend, Anish :) Thank you! :)

Also a super great BR with Sweet Pinky , Lovely Saphy's Trainer and Gentleman Grumpy Cat :)

I saw the movie and loved it, but when I heard about the book recently, I was curious together with a slight feeling of worry as reading the book after watching the movie adaption works quite bad for me. But I wasn't disappointed, this book is wonderful!

RL keeps messing up with me, so, sorry in advance for a short review. This wonderful books is worth way more praises.

Christopher Paolini's book charmed and drew me in with wonderful world building, interesting adventures in the world of elves, dwarves and other mythical creatures. The amazing thing is that the author started writing this book when he was a teen, 15 years old and his skill shows a lot as he managed to lure me into world of "Aragon" , charming with magic, action, creepy baddies, wonderful goodies, monsters, dragons and way more.

The journey to the magical and mystical world of "Eragon" began, it's full of adventures, toils and wonder, so call your dragon and lets explore this world together :)

I'm on page 84. till, but plan to read more on the weekend, cross fingers for my luck, sweets ;) Brom is so cool, he found out the secret quite quickly! :)

Aww, sorry to hear that, you are such a wonderful person! We plan to read all the books in the series , but not right away after the first book :) Are you tempted for some dragon treat? :)

I liked the movie and to know that the book is better is really awesome! Thanks for reassurance ;)

Emma I've all but the final book. They are fantastic and the book was awful by comparison, I thought.

I'm going to try to start it or listen to the audio from the library and follow along in my book. I have the rest of the books but never read them. Story of my life! Arggg < -- My inner pirate came out. =)

Great to know that you liked the books and hope you'll find time for the final book ;) Did you mean that you didn't like book one? I'm a bit confused as you gave 4 stars :S Sorry, can't read your review now, but I will, after the finishing :)

Great, can't wait for you to start the book, but, hey, no rush! Reading is a pleasure :) Hah, that's a thing with me, too, I like having books, just having and thinking that I'll read them someday :) *hi5s* Pirate Mel ;) Which, audio or paper do you prefer more> :)


Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin I love my hardbacks and paperbacks. I think I have 19 bookcases, they the aren't all books.

I love to listen to audio re-reads and I'm going to try to start listening to more regular books on audio since I started audible. But for now I got it to get my favorite books or just books I love because I tend to like them in different formats. But, mostly for re-reads =) �

19 bookcases, wow, even though they aren't all books, that's a great number, I'm envious :)

That's def great to have audios for rereads, I'll use your advice for sure as so far I'm not very successful with both audios and rereads XD


Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin It's all pretty awesome. 💕


Anish Kohli Urgals go, BOOM!!


Laura I'm so happy you liked this one Orient. I loved it. I read the whole Inheritance cycle 2 times till now.


Terry Nice review, Orient! Glad you liked it. I never did read any of the others after I read this first one. I'll be curious to see what you say about them when you continue on.


Anish Kohli Great review gif queen! I need to learn that!

Sr3yas Cool review, Orient! Too bad you couldn't write a longer review because of your Warlord business!

BTW, I don't have a dragon with me right now. Can I instead join the adventure with a Pegasus? XD

Hah, it's destiny! :) You should wait ten more years to read Eragon, I waited so long after seeing the movie XD

Oh wow, that's serious about the email :O Hope your personal data is safe :S Ahem, Craig, I'm not sure if you are still the same..... Your new pic may suggest that you are from outer space :D

In my honest opinion the movie was a pretty bad adaptation! The book is leaps and miles better. :)
Pick it up, you wont regret it!

Thanks and great that I managed to change your opinion ;) The book is a gem, I couldn't believe that a teen can write so!
