What scared me is I actually understood Krim's translation.

If Krim wrote a book like that, I wouldn't read it.

But when Paolini writes a book like that you like it.

At least Krim's passage was intentionally bad.
I say night I'm living in the forest of my dream,
I know the night is not as it would seem,
I must believe in something,
So I'll make myself believe it,
That this night will never go.

Athena went to Ottawa.

Did you see an eigth grade caucasian girl, with pale skin, grey-blue eyes, shoulder-length yellow hair, and a slightly crooked nose?

No? Oh well.

So Krim should write the book...and you wouldn't know it'd be Krim because it's obviously not his real name...then I want to see who here reads it and burns or likes it.

Yes, and every museum in the bloody city, lucky girl.

You're right, Paolinin doesn't write like that.

His is a hell of a lot worse.

Just look at this: "A terrible energy and strength began to grow in him. It grabbed his emotions and forged them into a solid bar of anger with one word stamped on it: revenge."

That must be one of the worst passages I have ever read.

It's even worse than Moby Dick, which was just boring.

This is boring and stupid.

Sorry pal, but it is. Light in Paolini's world is fermented, raindrops are cabuchons, Oromis has a body like woodcuts, people divulge clubs, women house daggers between the vast hills of their ample bosoms, Ajihad's blood was like ink running down charcoal, balls coalesce, strawberries have beards, people eat blackberries a corpuscle at a time, and sunlight over forests is like an amber film.

The third book looks tremedously worse. Lancet passageways shaped like keyholes, Saphira refracting blue specks of light like a disco ball, then a random, halty description of the lethrblaka. Every tree has a specified species, Roran brandishes his hammer while riding a massive dragon, so on and so on.

There is something about the word 'hammer' that I can't remember right now, but hammers are essential for building a house if you don't have a drill or phillips head screwdriver. Ooh, and see my nifty new avatar.
