No. This person is not a muppet. Muppets are cool :sun: . This person is deranged. I guess I *could* maybe understand some people liking the books. But to call the main character outstanding... ^o)

4/5?!
I'd say -1000/5 is nearly accurate. A few hundred too high.

"Muppet" is English slang for moron/whatever.

I know it's no surprise that Brisingr is on that list, but who knows, what if Eragon turned out to be a really retarded character in the next book, or the Inheritance version of Anakin Skywalker?

Maybe it's just me, I guess...

Edit: My point is that Brisingr didn't even come out in stores yet, so how can you tell the book's going to be good as or better than the past two if you haven't read it yet? (Not that I'm saying IC is actually good...I think it's just ok.)

Why are you trusting the opinion of someone who identifies with Eragon?

Oprah's book club makes really good suggestions, if you are interested.

Oh, I'd heard those ones (The Dresden Files, I think?) are pretty good...

And somehow I don't think the books the author of the list reads are very diverse. There are 24 different books, but only 5 different authors.

But maybe there's hope:

The list author says:
"A riveting story. Kept me reading non stop. Unfortunately all of the "surprising" elements to the end of the story were so obvious you already knew conclusion before you were 50 pages in. 3.5/5"

(bold mine)

Oprah is my godwoman :(

She's so cool and generous. When I was like 10, I used to come home everyday and my neighbor and I watched her show.

I've never seen an Oprah episode all the way through.
