 Lost in Tronjiheim ... December 1, 2008
I enjoyed Eragon, thought that the second book was plodding ... and am deeply, deeply, deeply disappointed in Brisingr.
Like many others, I slogged through 100's of pages of Brisingr. When Eragon went to Tronjiheim and, sounding like an American tourist, started to whine about participating in a culture that views time differently from his own ...
.. I simply gave up and stopped reading.
I wanted to like Brisingr, but I got lost in Tronjiheim.
I can add little to the excellent reviews of Brisingr by Christopher Lintel and racapowski (When is Amazon going to allow links to other reviews within reviews? ;-)
So I'll content myself with adding my one star vote.
Note to Christopher Paolini: Please, sir. Find yourself a decent editor who will challenge you to become a better writer. You have potential.
One step forward, two steps back. December 1, 2008
Paolini is overrated. So grossly overrated. Yes, the guy is incredibly young and wrote a very good story at an age when your chiefest concern should be which zit to pop first. He should have stopped there. If anything, his skills have deteriorated throughout this series to a point where the effort to turn each page in this book feels like I'm lifting a station wagon.
I won't go on and on as it is apparent that this book has turned enough people against St. Christopher of Paolini, but I just want to get something off of my chest:
I hope Saphira dies.
Every time that dragon opens her mouth I just want to set the book on fire. Why Paolini made the choice to create this awesome character and then fill her craw with the most cliche, unoriginal dialogue is beyond my reasoning. She speaks like a romance novel.
Alright that's it. Don't buy this book.

My 13 yr old daughter loved this book. It was a great gift for her.
Better than the 2nd, in my opinion December 1, 2008

As a fan over the 1st 2 books and the story in it's entirety, i have been eagerly awaiting the release of this book. The book starts and ends at an excellent pace, with an epic battle with the Razak to start and another interesting war at the end. I felt that Christopher did a good job at taking his time in this book and really developing the characters. Extending the series to 4 books really allowed him to dig deeper into the story line. At times i felt like the plot took a while to develop, however in the end, knowing the characters in detail really allowed me to feel the storyline as it intensified.
Without risking any spoilers i will simply say that if you were a fan of the first 2 books, you will enjoy this one. If you are a die hard fantasy reader, well you may be a little put off. Christopher is a good author, whom i believe continues to get better. He's no Tolkein, but there is potential.
Pick this up if you enjoy a nice long read... 748 pages isn't a joke :-)
Is there anything less than one star? November 30, 2008

As a teacher, I am shocked that some of my students read this. Child self mutilation is not cool! Brisingr is characterised by moments of explict violence - which seem to have no other purpose than shock value - and hundreds of pages of boredom. If Christopher Paolini wants to make this a book for adults, not children, that's fine, but make sure everyone knows that. With so many other great children's books out there, I hope that children will close this book and open something better written.
