NO. REALLY. I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING.

I KNOW. ITS SO UNEXPECTED.

Really? My money was on Roran :'(

Nah, Arya. Roran will go back to Carvahall & live in his farm with Katrina.

But Arya sucks :'(

She has to get it so that she will realize her true feelings for Chris Eragon and they can live happily ever after!

Bwahahahaha.

Nice.
I have high hopes for Book 4, seeing as how since the first one, Paolini's writing has improved to bearable levels and more.
Well.
Bearable levels, at least.

His writing is decent in three I thought.

I'm surprised publishers would let someone who hadn't even hit 20 publish a book he wrote while he was a nerdy teen.

Most authors wait until near 30 when they've mastered a style and run through all the loopholes, but most importantly, mastered writing in general...

I flipped through Eldest yesterday, looking for a section I couldn't remember (was explaining the series to a friend), and I'll now say Eldest was bearable, if overly long, and Brisinger was fairly good.
Much the same way that HP: Order of the Phoenix was overly long and Half-Blood Prince was shorter.
Eh.
Not the best comparison, but the best I could come up with.

Well, his family's company published the first edition. The reason it got picked up was so they could say "He wrote it when he was fifteen!" (actually he was like twenty when it was widely published "He's a genius." Notice how people still mention it.

As for why he decided to publish it that early, it was probably ego.

not big fans of Paolini then on here lol. He's nowhere near the best out there but at least his books are somewhat entertaining, better than most writers of the new millenium unfortuantely. Book four should be good Brisinger was immeasurabley better than Eldest which was immeasurabley better than Eragon so the next one carries higfh hopes from me allthough I can smell a cliched ending that will probably become painfully obvious after about 100 pages.

Yeah, Eragon & Arya (who becomes the next rider) leave Alagaesia forever. Roran takes his wife back to Carvahall & becomes a farmer & probably the villager's Chieftain there. Nasuada dies & so does Orrin (or he becomes truly senile). Jormundar (spg?) becomes the King of all humans (Surda & Varden unite). Orik leads the dwarfs. Islanzadi dies too & another elf takes over (I have not decided who yet).

the most extremely likely outcomes well pointed out there N&B, what may I ask though leads you to belive Islanzadi dies?

Thank you. I feel Islanzadi will die because I don't think she is fit enough to lead the elves & Paolini would like to end it all hunky-dory & perfect. Eragon does not like her much & I don't think she will take it kindly if Arya abandons her royal duties & runs off with Eragon.

YES! Now I don't have to read 3 or 4 now to criticize them! +P

No no no, that can't be, that sounds way to cliched and formulaic to be...

Oh. Right.

*waves an Inheritance flag around weakly*

Face it DC he's not the most imagineative author
