The few of my friends who have read it love it.
There's usually very few of them, however.
Usually people can't stand to read books after I've talked at them about it for weeks.

Yeah, i have that prblem 2. But they probably wouldnt try them anyway, so i might as well just shove it down thier throats. :D

What good friends you must be...
There is a sort of busy worm,
That will the fairest book deform,
Their tasteless tooth will tear and taint
The poet, patiot,sage or saint,
Nor sparing wit nor learning.
Now, if you'd know the reason why,
The best of reasons I'll supply;
'Tis bread to this poor vermin.

Well, you'd think that, but, apparently, they don't like choking on books. Not even The Amulet of Samarkand.

They have no taste.
Look, Queezle.

Our english teacher always says we should 'taste' a book and see if we like the 'flavour'. Like its icecream or something.

On the friends and the Bartimaes trilogy topic, most of my friends aren't the novel reading type. Although in the ones that are, I've let them borrow the first book, and becuase they thought that it was really good, they really wanted to read the others, and so I made them buy the other two to make more profit for Stroud. That's 14 + the three books that I bought that Stroud owes to me that they were sold. That and their amazing quality, of course.

Oh, and since this is a thread on the Eragon movie, I wanted to say that it sucked balls. Way too rushed. And they screwed up the story, even though it was pretty bad to begin with.

Finally someone with sense!

Very much so.
Gave the book a very bad image.

You think the studio will allow anyone to do an Eldest Movie?
