Are you serious? I personally found Cornelia Funke's work more original and compelling. But then, I found Eragon as compelling as Moby Dick.

Cornelia Funk bugs me. I disliked all of her books. I mean, could you honestly get more depressing?

Yes, you could. Try Victor Hugo.

And even so countless other books show more skill in one sentence that Paolini shows in a plot.

I'll allow that for some books. But not countless.

Eragon's boderline Plagarism.


Stop and repent now and you're soul can be saved. Maybe.

Fine. You shall burn.


Harry Potter displays infinitely more plot than Eragon.

Yes, well, that's one of the books that I'm allowing, isn't it?

*sigh*

Have you noticed the parrallels with Star Wars, the flooping 'ecking Vegetarism and Atheist propaganda? The poor paragraph structures? The way Eragon dangerously leans close to Mary Sue territory?

He doesn't. He makes huge mistakes.

And?

DragonFlight, Anne McCaffrey. She wrote about 20 books about Pern and the Dragon Riders.

And he's not good at everything. Sometimes he fails. And Arya hates him. As with a ton of elves. And Saphira gets annoyed with him. And so does Roran.

You expect Post to know who these people are? ;)

He's never read the book?

He's read all the books.

And when he fails, he doesn't learn. And when he fails, he doesn't get a back slash of what he should. And his injury, the one interesting plot point, was magically taken away. Wth?

But, he's not automatically liked everywhere he goes.

Almost.

Just let Post explain it, I miss some of the minor things he points out.

Meh, if Krim was here, Queezle, you would be begging for mercy right now.


He's not a Mary Sue, per se, He is the farmboy who has become Superman at the end of the day. It's the Grand Arena, the Chosen one vs the Evil Empire. He's the vessel through which Paolini will teach us his twisted lessons on life, Vegetarianism and Atheism most notably.

Oh please, Eragon sucks I can't think of a better word to describe it.

The characters are hollow, Paolini uses his books to force his beliefs on others, the plot is unoriginal, and most importantly of all, his style is awful! His metaphors and similies left me gagging, and he has no flow!

Why don't we all wait until Athy gets back...

Eragon is certainly not a Mary Sue.
I think I enjoyed the character of Arya better than Eragon, however.
I SHALL NEVER BEG FOR MERCY!
His beliefs came out very strongly in his books, but he didn't force them.
I read them, and his religious beliefs haven't affected me in the slightest.
