Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.


One boy . . . One dragon . . . A world of adventure.

When Eragon finds a polished stone in the forest, he thinks it is the lucky discovery of a poor farm boy; perhaps it will buy his family meat for the winter. But when the stone brings a dragon hatchling, Eragon soon realizes he has stumbled upon a legacy nearly as old as the Empire itself.

Overnight his simple life is shattered and he is thrust into a perilous new world of destiny, magic and power. With only an ancient sword and the advice of an old storyteller for guidance, Eragon and the fledgling dragon must navigate the dangerous terrain and dark enemies of an Empire ruled by a king whose evil knows no bounds. Can Eragon take up the mantle of the legendary Dragon Riders? The fate of the Empire may rest in his hands...

Critic reviews

'A compelling and action-filled adventure . . . a galloping good example of its genre'
'This book is an achievement. Readers . . . will be transported'
'A portrayal of true affection between boy and dragon - Paolini writes like someone gripped by his own story'
'A stirring fantasy of epic proportions'
Eragon is a wonderful book if you like the work of authors such as JR Tolkien...a truly supernatural novel.
It's a story of mystery, excitement and magic...a riproaring story (also featured in Haverhill Echo).
This is an action-packed fantasy adventure that will appeal to both adults and younger readers.
Exciting tale.
From the very first sentence we are plunged into a dangerous fantasy world. (Amanda Craig)
Teenagers will love Eragon...thrills, spills and danger...Who could resist? (Kati Nicholl)

I love the narrator.. his voices are fantastic.. although I do wish Aryas voice wasn't soooooo Russian lol .. Angela's is a sothen bell and Saphiras a little wingey in areas of cobalt fierce lol .. but they are still good and the rest are fantastic and the book still enchanting

Its a fab story written with brilliant description definitely recommend it. its not like some other fantasy stores where its hard to follow along with the story it is really easy for anyone to follow. There are eight chapters in this audio book but all the books chapters are contained it these eight, it is just that the books chapters are short and so they have merged multiple chapters together.

Great story
