Eldest: OH GOOD GRIEF!!!!!

[meganbmoore]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I made it through Eragon accidentally CURSING AN INFANT TO LEAD A HORRIBLE LIFE and not even warranting a slap on the wrist with it "oh, well that was bad of you...here, let me teach you to speak the language properly so you won't have further goofs" and then having it passed off as a good thing(sadly, before they changed it to a good thing, I was thinking that couldresult in a good story 16 or so years later...)

But now?

Well, I was going to try to post it word for word, but I started gagging.  Basically, Eragon's oh so convenient "destiny" that makes him capable at everything and the perfect hero has now made him  absurdly pretty, but still manly enough that he can't be called pretty.

*gags*

Behold Eragon, the ultimate Gary Stu.

Everyone be happy that I did not have internet access the first 400 pages.

Murtagh, please show up and break his nose...

Murtagh is, IMHO, the only interesting character in those books.
If the books centred around him I'd find them much more interesting - but then again he would probably be the one with the crush on the blindingly pretty elf girl and who turns half elf himself. *sigh*

You near the end yet?

I feel like I'm reading the logs of several masochists whenever I read the comments on your Eragon posts (including you, of course...)

Awww, don't read that silly stuff! Read Martha Wells ... she's much better and sadly under-read.

By all means consider a used books service, then (Abebooks, Alibris, or even Amazon). Note that the one complaint that some people have had is that the lead characters are hard to get into ... they are rather chilly, cerebral types. But that didn't bother either myself or the Young Lady.

Wheel of the Infinite is also pretty good, but it's not related to the other ones at all.
