Dragons

An enjoyable story about a boy and his dragon

Not very good ..

Came in all scuffed up on the binding all on the outside , not happt and i would not call this "Very Good " condition as it says maybe good or poor so I'm bet disappointed with it

Full of holes, UNREADABLE

The copy of the book arrived full of holes (like some used a screwdriver or giant nails to hammer through the book. It is not readable. I can’t believe I was sold a copy in such deplorable shape.

No dust jacket and no warning that it wouldn't have one.

I ordered this in the LB good condition because the very good condition warned that it wouldn't have one and the good condition had no such warning. I love this series but the state it came in is unacceptable.

Cover ripped - Not “Very Good” condition

$4.69 for an extremely used copy that was sold as “very good”.

Quite possibly the best book I’ve read so far.

This is a fantastic book. It’s written so well that I felt like I was watching a movie in my head while I was reading.

The book is great, the condition was as expected.

These books getting better as you go. I recommend these to teenage readers.

No jacket cover! No indications of this.

Great book for teens.

Help... Or something?

I don't quite know if this is where I should adress this but i ordered the audio book of this and I am missing the 3rd and 4th disc... If I could get it that would be great if not understandable. I am very excited to start them!

I LOVED it!

I have to admit,when I first picked up the book, I was quite skeptical if it would be worth my time reading it...but I absolutely loved it! So to anyone out there, old or young ( I'm 21) if you love dragons,fighting, heroes, or just plain awesome fantasy, then this is the series for you. 👍

Incredible

I first read Eragon about eight or so years ago. Since then, I have bought the entire Cycle (only four books, not nearly enough!) and re-read it many times and will be doing so again shortly. There are some minor flaws with the book, yes, but all is easily forgiven with a story like this. It is a well-written adventure with beautiful and poetic imagery that can easily stir the imagination and make you believe in magic. That being said, this book is an excellent way to expand you vocabulary. I definitely recommend the Inheritance Cycle to anyone, adults included! P.S.- If you're an adult considering purchasing the Cycle for an older child, I would say go for it. No sex scenes. Language is extremely minimal, so no worries about f-bombs or such. As far as violence goes, there are sword-fights galore and inclusions of death, dead bodies, and killings, but nothing nightmare inducing.

Imaginas que es un granjero simple que se va a cazar para comida y toda su vida cambia. Una explosión de ningún parte y en el centro es una gema misteriosa. Mira inocente pero en unas días desde la gema nace un dragón. Toda su vida va a cambiar. Eso es que paso a Eragon. Todo se va bien y el dragón se crece pero cuando el rey aprende del dragón y algo malo se pase a Eragon el se va de su pueblo. Va con Brom que no más mire como un viejo del pueblo pero es mucho más. Los dos van al sur a encontrar los rebeldes del rey y piensan que ellos pueden ayudar. Ese libro es llenado de acción y misterio. Yo pienso que es uno de los mejores libros fantasías que yo ha leído. Nuca quiere parar de leer y cuando termino el libro yo estaba triste. Rápidamente yo busque el libro siguiente. Yo recomendó ese libro a cualquier persona que está buscando algo a leer. Ese libro va a dejar queriendo más.

A Great Young Person's Read

I have to say after reading some other's less-than-glowing reviews of this book that there is an important, crucial fact they have not seemed to take into consideration-- THIS IS A CHILDREN BOOK. This is not a book written for adults; even though certainly many, many adults have enjoyed it. It's also as certainly written quite as well or perhaps even better than your usual ripped bodice, Danielle Steele or Jacquelyn Suzanne. It is written for the older children-young adult bracket, ages 11 through 17 or thereabouts. I, for one, am grateful my 12 year old son had something as interesting as this to enjoy. It's vital that the kids read. So I say "Hooray for Eragon!"

well i liked it...

i know on here are more bad reviews then good ones but im halfway now and i admit that i really like this book and though it might not live up to lord of the rings. its still not that bad.
