Paolini announced that there will be four books in the Inheritance Trilogy, instead of three. This is because it was not possible for him to fit all of the stuff he wanted to fit into the third book.
So children, gather round and talk about the cycle. Theories, Christopher's writing, the movie, and more.
I think that Eragon will face Murtagh towards the beginning with a comrade, and his companion will die, while he lives and kills Murtagh. surprised

I always said that the world's logic should circle around Douglas Adams, and finally it is!

Rather than accusing him of stealing ideas (clear archetypes, mind you) from Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and the whole lot, why not talk about his writing ability?
The fact is, were it not for the fact that he was only fifteen when he first started working on getting his book published, it would not have been. That was one of the major selling points. Secondly, I'm not sure who told him to be careful using he said/she said, but he tool it entirely too far; the kid's got every fricking synonym for 'to say' in his book and yet the actual phrase appears very rarely. I'll tell him what I'd tell Rowling: cut out about 150 pages of descriptions and useless adjectives.

What the...? Adjectives are kinda what a book needs to make it...good. Wow. Whoever said that must not realize the difference between a fantasy and formal essays...

ninja Damn, he's on to us. Get in the van, Johnny! Get in the van!
Yes, adjectives are quite a necessary part of any book, but, like with all else, anything in excess tends to lead to its own demise. That is, to a point, adjectives increase the readability, if you will, of any novel, but after that point, their prolonged usage dramatically lowers the quality of the book. The fact stands that I really don't give a damn that Eragon is slowly meandering into the shaded, snowy woods whilst in a rather angry mood to meet up with his young, blue-scaled dragon cub, Sapphira.
He uses adjectives to death, and that's one of the things that killed his books.return 0;

I didn't mind the descriptions, I do think they
added a lot to the book.
Harry Potter...I'm not going to go into how
much the last book disapointed me. Plus,
the first book is pretty much at a 3rd grade
level. See, it's why people say it got them into
reading, because it was interesting and it go
progressively harder during the years. It's actually
a really good way to get someone to read. But book
7 was made of fail.
