Nothing in this genre is totally original.

Some are just more original (plot-wise, too) than others.

Death to Inheritance.
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.

The whole demon summoning idea isn't orginal. It was just more orginal than Potter and Paolini.

OK, a lot more orginal.
Well, you know what I meant.

It was also more dark than most stuff with boy wizards/magicians/whatever.

Yeah and demons were more loveable. Before that I couldn't think about them as cool things... :)

Making the main character power-hungry politition is pretty original. Especially if it's a fantasy novel.

Not dark enough for my tastes. Reading Why I killed Gandhi right now. Wonderfully insane.

No matter what, some book is going to be similar to another... almost all the ideas are already taken, so it is hard to come up with a new one, especially with the number of authors 'round.

Exactly.

Most of these things are like mongrels...When I first read Harry Potter (was 12), it felt like a cross between Roald Dahl and Enid Blyton boarding school books. Bartimaeus= Discworld+Real life politics. Stroud says he's read Faust by Marlowe so the demon summoning thing is from there. I could think of equations for half of these things...the truly original ones would be the ones in the equations...haha.
Nothing to see here, move along.

It is too hard to think up something new, without some part of it being similar to another book.

I should probably ask Mom what the release date is, so I have fair warning to lock myself in my room until the rant of mob of idiots who love it is over.

I'll have to find the date too...Just so I can get it, and make sure Eragon dies...A painful, horrible death. But if Paolini kills him, you just know he'll do a fourth book, and have the dragons or the elfs magically ressurect him in an instant.
