I've read all three. And no I won't give you the highlights because you just HAVE to read them. There is going to be a fourth one soon too! They are fabulous books and you would be doing yourself a disservice by not reading them. And the fact that they were written by a teenager is neither here nor there. They are brilliant books from a brilliant mind and deserve to be read and appreciated. I hope you buy them...

Try going to your local library and see if they have the other 2 books, so you don't have to buy them. If it was me, and I enjoyed the first book, I definitely would read the other 2 books. I have not even heard of this book or the movie. Will have to look into it.

I have read all three books. I really enjoyed them. The movie is another matter. I hated it. They didn't add stuff in, but they left stuff out. I would look into borrowing the other two books from a friend or from the library. They are worth reading. Summarizing would take all day.

I am sorry not to be able to help you on either questions. Just stopped by to say hello

well, what I don't understand is if you like the first book so much why then aren't you gonna buy the second and third one? don't forget that most movies that are made out of books are disappointment after you read the book, usually books have more details and endless limitations. Happy mylotting

The movie is absolutely horrible compared to the books.

Hello my friend uniquestar Ji,I do not think that I have seen this movie. Also i never read this book. But you have induced curiosity after i went through following reception about this book. For more you may Log On : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eragon#cite_note-15 [b]"Reception Eragon received mixed reviews by critics. Liz Rosenberg of The New York Times Book Review criticized it for having "clichéd descriptions", "B-movie dialogue", "awkward and gangly" prose, and a plot that "stumbles and jerks along, with gaps in logic and characters dropped, then suddenly remembered, or new ones invented at the last minute" However, she concluded the review by noting that "for all its flaws, it is an authentic work of great talent".[7] School Library Journal wrote that Eragon is "overly simplistic in its resolution of plot issues".[8] Common Sense Media called Eragon's dialogue "long-winded" and "clichéd", with a plot "straight out of Star Wars by way of The Lord of the Rings, with bits of other great fantasies thrown in here and there." The website did concede that the book is a notable achievement for such a young author, and that it would be "appreciated" by younger fans.[9] Favorable reviews of Eragon often focused on the book's strong characters and tight plot. IGN's Matt Casamassina called the book "entertaining", and added that "Paolini demonstrates that he understands how to hold the reader's eyes and this is what ultimately separates Eragon from countless other me-too fantasy novels."[10] Chris Lawrence of About.com thought the book had all the "traditional ingredients" that make a fantasy novel "enjoyable". The book was a "fun read" for him because it is "quick and exciting" and "packed" with action and magic. Lawrence concluded his review by giving the book a rating of 3.8/5, commenting that "the characters are interesting, the plot is engrossing, and you know the good guy will win in the end."[11] Eragon was the third best-selling children's hardback book of 2003,[12] and the second best-selling paperback of 2005.[13] It placed on the New York Times Best Seller list for 121 weeks.[14] In 2006, the book was awarded with a Nene Award by the children of Hawaii.[15] It won the Rebecca Caudill Young Reader's Book Award the same year."[/b] May God bless you and have a great time.
