The Book "Eragon" was written by Christopher Paolini and was a best seller in the years to come. It is based on Eragon, a young boy of 15 who finds a sapphire dragon egg out in the mountains of the Spine. After the dragon hatches, Eragon and his newly hatched companion, Saphira are set to go out and train to become Riders, the fabled warriors of old who also rode on the backs of these mythic beasts.

After managing his way along 1/4 of Alagaesia, he manages to find the ones who burned down his home and killed his uncle. failing to kill them, he flees to the southern mountains of the Beor. Meeting with dwarves inside the Varden, he assists in defeating a shade, Durza, but in the process renders a scar along his back.

Once he learns about a war between his former friends, the Varden, and the Empire seizing the entire area except for a small country on the border. In the end, he meets up with his cousin, who went seeking revenge on the same people that killed Eragon's uncle, and also kidnapped his wife.

I actually own both books and the movie, which...yes, was a big dissapointment. They must've ran out of money because they crammed the whole story in and it gets confusing... xp

Read the first one, and have read the second half way through twice, but have yet to completely read it through.
Instead of a movie, I think they should have done a miniseries/series, and with a completely different cast - if I remember correctly, Arya (sp?) was supposed to have black hair...

Brisingr was great but I hope he makes the series longer than 4 books, theres SO much he could do with the different views on the dragon riders XO
