Eragon 1-4

By Christopher Paolini

1 stars

Not gonna lie... this was the slowest, most painstakingly boring series my family has ever made me listen to. If you fancy a storyline that fits onto 10 pages dragged out on 2000+ while describing (unnecessarily) gorey battles and... some random characters' fingernails (5mins)... this is for you. I for my part am really happy that this is over and couldn't recommend it to anyone. 1 star for effort.
