meganbmooreETA: Amazon, why did you remove the original listing I was watching and replace it? IT CREATD UNFAIR EXPECTATIONS!
Possibly more importantly, the third Eragon book will be out 9/20.
Please, I beg of you DO NOT LET ME READ IT!!! Have I not "taken one for the team" enough with the first 2? Was not my suffering enough to make me appreciate almost every other fantasy ever written? In no universe will a supporting character the author doesn't even realize is the only remotely likable charcter in the whole thing be worth the trauma!

Date: 2008-07-15 02:28 am (UTC)WORST HIGH FANTASY, PROBABLY!!! TEILIGHT WOULD GET WORST URBAN FANTASY!!!
BUT I CANNOT BELIEVE EDWARD AND BELLA ARE WORSE THAN ERAGON!!!
HIS BROTHER/BEST FRIEND TOLD HIM HE WAS TORTURED INTO GIVING UP INFORMATION, AND ERAGON SCREECHED AT HIM FOR BEING A HORRIBLE TRAITOR!!!

Date: 2008-07-15 02:35 am (UTC)Being a Twilight and Eragon survivor, (Only read the first books. No one could make me read its sequels even if they paid me in GOLD) and looking at the previous comments, I can vouch that, for the first books anyhow, Eragon managaes to be worse than Twilight, believe it or not. *ded*

Date: 2008-07-15 03:33 pm (UTC)You know, given that Eragon was my first real YA since I WAS pretty young, it's amazing that I ended up reading more YA recently...

Date: 2008-07-15 03:55 pm (UTC)And the circumstances were beyond my control. I had to finish reading Eragon because my (now) ex lent it to me, and as for Twilight, I actually bought it on the heavy suggestion and recommendation of my two friends (Nice ppl, but TERRIBLE taste in books. One said that she liked Twilight over Golden Compass. I was appalled, to say the least.) and felt that if I didn't finish it, I'd be wasting my money.

Date: 2008-07-15 03:13 am (UTC)BUT IT MANAGED TO BE BETTER THAN THE BOOK! MOSTLY BECAUSE THE ACTOR WAS NATURALLY LIKABLE TO HELP COMPENSATE A BIT FOR HOW UNLIKABLE ERAGON IS!

Even my 16-yr-old says it is crap! (She only made it through the first volume.)
