I just completed a book called Eragon. For those you haven’t heard about the book, here is a summary of it (written on the back of the book).

When Eragon finds a polished blue stone in the forest, he thinks it is the lucky discovery of a poor farm boy; perhaps it will buy his family meat for the winter. But when the stone brings a dragon hatchling, Eragon soon realizes he has stumbled upon a legacy nearly as old as the Empire.
Overnight his simple life is shattered, and he is thrust into a perilous new world of destiny, magic, and power. With only an ancient sword and the advice of an old storyteller for guidance. Eragon and the fledgling dragon must navigate the dangerous terrain and dark enemies of an Empire roled by a kind whose evil knows no bounds. Can Eragon take up the mantle of the legendary Dragon Riders? The fate of the Empire may rest in his hands.

The book has an awesome story that sucks you into it. The summary does a poor justice to the book. However, I wouldn’t call it a masterpiece. The writing quality could have been a lot better. Also, I feel the writer, Christopher Paolini, could have done more research for his universe. He seems to give you only enough information about the universe to tell the story. This makes the universe seem flat. Anyways, over all, I think it is a good book and look forward to read his second book.
