I most definitly agree with your view of the books: good plagiarism

=P

Signatures are annoying, I refuse to have one.

I sooooooooooooooooo need to send that to my friend who keeps trying to tell me that Eragon is it's own original story and isn't like any thing else she's ever heard of. lol! Look out Mermaid Girl here I come! (FYI Mermaid Girl is a nickname that my little brother (who thinks that he is going to marry her...btw he's 7) gave to her)

Oh and I'm very much in favor of the series (BotB) being recorded as an audio books. All books should be audio books as well!

Oh, geez. Anyone who thinks Eragon is original in any way, shape or form, needs to read more fantasy. XD Particularly Ursula K. LeGuin's Earthsea cycle, and Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern series. The former is where Paolini stole his magic from; the latter, where he got his dragons.

And then there are all the little things, like Solembum being a total clone of Garth Nix's werecat, Mogget; and the little girl, Elva, who in Eldest is basically just like this little girl in the Dune series...and I could go on. Eragon really is kind of a badly-patched-together quilt of the different fantasy series Paolini had read at the time--the most impressive thing is that no one's sued him for it. Though I guess plagiarism is hard to prove, especially in the fantasy genre...

Anyway. Audiobooks are awesome. If it weren't for audiobooks, I would never have originally read Eragon, because there are parts of it that are so tedious that I'd've never finished if I'd been reading it in print. :D Eldest was even worse.

So I advocate audiobooks for everything. They're also a lot more convenient for me, 'cause I can listen to them at work. :D :D :D

im so sending this to my friend..... lol who is dieing for the last book to come out.. i should just tell him how its going to all end now that i know that its being copied...

The last book? That won't be out for a couple years yet.

And Eldest divurged a LITTLE from the typical framework--enough that I think Brisingr might even have a surprise or two. I mean, I'm going to read it anyway, because I have to see how he kills off my favorite characters, but I'm also interested to see what happens. I'm expecting most of my predictions to be right, but you never know, do you! :D

Var, Brisingr is supposed to come out September 20th this year.

Brisingr isn't going to be the last book, Rhee.
